The View Brand Ambassador <-- I'm one of them!

Many of you know how chatty I am. But you might not know I also like to play 'Devil's advocate" during discussions with friends. So it's no surprise that I'm a fan of The View.

I love the controversies, the mix of personalities, the guests (and guest hosts - holla to my newly extensioned friend Kate Gosselin) the ladies of The View entertain every week.

 That's why I jumped at the chance when Mom Central put out a call to bloggers who might want to be Brand Ambassadors for The View.

Each week for the next 4 weeks we'll have assignments to let you all know what cool things will be happening with The View. For example, did you know Mom Central is running a contest to send one fan to New York City to watch a taping of The View?!? You can enter HERE.

Do you watch The View? Who's your favorite host?

More importantly, do you think I would make the PERFECT addition to The View?

Frigidaire affinity Washer Defeats The Ladybug

Yes folks, the moment you've all be waiting for.

You know how I feel about the Ladybug from my earlier Frigidaire posts.

Well, now you can see what happened when I put my new Frigidaire affinity washer up against that evil, wretched, good-for-nothing Ladybug:

Still celebrating,

Frigidaire affinity Washer and Dryer have arrived! (bring on the laundry)

They are red.
They are large.
They are high-tech.
They are freakin' beautiful and I don't care if people read this and feel sorry for me because I'm so pathetically excited about a new washer and dryer.

Frigidaire is in 'da house!

Here is the whrrl.com story I did to document D-day...delivery day.

Off to sort and wash,

How will the Frigidaire affinity washer and dryer measure up?

Everyone has a lot of laundry, I know that.
But we have the dreaded ladybug.
The thing may look cute on the outside but it's a huge, bottomless pit of dirty, stinky, moldy, icky, bacteria-thriving laundry.

The ladybug is what we use for the girls' laundry and they fill it up 1-2 times a week. It measures 21 inches high by 17 inches wide. When filled it weighs about 25 lbs.

Here's a quick video showing how much laundry fits in the ladybug and how much of the ladybug fits into my current washing machine.

Please ignore my messy laundry room. I'd like to see yours!

I weighed and measured what was left after shooting the video and I measured another 10 inches (high) of laundry weighing approximately 12 lbs (I lost my helper so this is an approximation).

I can only say, I hope the Frigidaire affinity washer and dryer can hold more!
What do you think - how much more of the ladybug will the affinity hold?
