Maybe the same reason it takes you 5 minutes to shower, but an hour to "get ready". ;)

My clothes washing/dryer routine has been cut in half since Little44 has been in Florida - but when I do dry clothes - I put the shirts in for about 10 minutes to "heat up" then I take them out and hang them up to complete the drying process - does anyone else do this to avoid "shrinkage"? :p

An hour?!?!?!?!

What the heck do you do??

I can shower, dry my hair, fix my hair, put makeup on and be dressed and out the door in WAY less than an hour!!!

yep, when I remember to take them out.

I also like to wash certain things inside out (like t shirts with writing on them). In my mind, it preserves the lettering...probably a crock. ;)
