Since I am a firm believer that life does not always have to be exciting, let me tell you about a not-so-exciting story.
Really, don't read this is if you are looking for excitement.
I was trying to clean the built-up lint out of the lint section of my dryer with a toothbrush. The toothbrush slipped, and fell out of my hand into the lint section. Although my fingers are slim and long, they were neither slim enough nor long enough to actually reach it. So, I had to tell Brandon. I then left him to do his thing because I didn't want to hang over him while he tried to reach the toothbrush in the lint section. After trying several mechanisms, he finally got the toothbrush out (he's a handy guy, what can I say?!). And, now I am blogging about Brandon getting the toothbrush out of the lint section of the dryer--not because it was some exciting moment or because I'm bored (I'm not, really!) but because I also want to spend more time enjoying the simple parts of life.

That's hilarious! When we were living in Glendora, Robert had left some chapstick in the pocket of his pants. When I was cleaning out the lint collector, the chapstick somehow fell out of the pants pocket and down in the hole where the lint collector goes. I got a wooden spoon to try to fish it out and I dropped the spoon down there too!!! I tried different tools to get them out, but they wouldn't come out. When Robert came home I had to tell him about the silly thing his wife did and he came to my rescue. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's made this sort of mistake. :)
in all my 28 years of owning dryers I have never cleaned the lint collector with a toothbrush. I am in awe and proud to have a daughter that would take the time to do that. In 1980 I lost my wedding ring in the back hole where lint goes. When we moved from that house and disconnected the air vent hose, Uncle Mike found it in the hose. Small wonders. Love, Mom
I've never seen a lint trap that needed that much attention. Doesn't the lint just usually come out of the trap in one long strip?
