Looking Good Costs Time and Money

I went shopping yesterday! I bought me all kinds of nice shirts and sweaters so I can look good for approximately one week and then not want to do laundry which will result in me inevitably wearing the same OLD clothes I used to have that made me want to buy the new clothes in the first place.

Why do I insist on buying dry clean only sweaters? Dry cleaning is expensive! More expensive than the sweaters! Well, not at first, but it eventually is. I guess technically though everything is. For some reason though, the dry cleaning part seems more expensive to me. Aside from the extra monetary commitment that is required, you have to do it within certain times. I mean, the laundry room is open 24 hours a day. There are even 24 hour Laundromats in case I feel like taking my clothes for a ride! But there aren't 24 hour dry cleaning places. I would gladly exchange 1 hour dry cleaners for a 24 hour dry cleaner any day. I mean an "open 24 hours a day dry cleaner." In the context of the 1 hour dry cleaner it sounded like I was talking about a dry cleaner that took 24 hours to clean your clothes. Which I was not.

Anyway, the extra time it takes to dry clean clothes is the point I'm trying to make. I guess I need to just get off my butt instead of whining about it. Like instead of writing this blog I could be taking my clothes to the dry cleaner ... oh wait, it's Sunday.
