Fold me! Fold me!!!

Hi. My name is Amy and it has been 25 days since my last post. :)

So I've been running like a maniac for the last month. Some friends and I are training for a half marathon in September and I'm so excited about it! This Saturday we're running a 10K. My sister is here visiting and she's going to run it with me! And by "with me", I mean at the same time as me. She runs WAY faster! But it will be fun. So this morning as part of our training at *cough* 5:30am, we switched things up a bit and hiked Badger mountain. Now that I've tackled THAT mountain, I am left with THIS one:

That's right, my mountain of laundry. My sister has taken the girls on a little trip today, and I'm determined to get caught up here! SO. I need some motivation. I'm turning it into a little contest, at my expense of course:

Guess how long it will take me from start to finish to fold and put away this MOUNTAIN of laundry! Whoever guesses closest to the actual time wins a jar of homemade apricot jam! Which will be freshly made after I'm done folding laundry today! (if you hate apricot jam, I can negotiate. I have many varieties...)

GUESS AWAY!!!

Good luck with your running Amy! Sounds like your doin good!

I hate laundry....I think it's the worst chore ever!!! I wish it would fold itself and put itself away! haha.

Hmmm...let me see...I say you can get that folded and put away in an hour! :)

With no interupptions...30 minutes. You can do it!

And I LOVE apricot jam!!

P.S.
You really need to take a picture of the bag you made for your sister before she leaves. I REALLY want to see it.

I am guessing 28 minutes! Looks like you have Sean helping you there. Folding laundry is one of my least favorite chores. Who am I kidding I don't like any of them. We just like to play all day!

I say 1 hour and 15 minutes, because there are always interruptions!

Let's see... folded AND put away?... It's not that big of a pile for your size family- but it probably gets put away in several different places...hmmm...I don't know! I'm going to guess... 25 minutes. You better do it fast! :)

It depends if you are going to watch a movie while you do it, that is what gets me through the laundry piles. 25 minutes would be amazingly fast!! I was thinking more like an hour. Okay I'll say 55 min.

Yeah for Lorie being there!! I hear you on the mountain of laundry. I have one on my couch too!! Mine usually takes about an hour ... counting interuptions. Good luck.

I don't see a winner yet....so I will post a guess--oodles of hours later! My guess is more along the lines of Brooke's. I say an hour and 17 minutes. :-) I came home from WalMart last night to find Nathan folding laundry in our room! How I love the man. If he dind't help out, well, we would have a gigantic pile of laundry and basically be running around naked (okay I could be exagerrating). Anyway, hope you got to do something fun today besides just fold laundry!
