if you ever want to have your heart stop, do this:

1. tell your husband that you washed his nasty dirty work t-shirts and that they are in the dryer, which is running.

2. notice that husband left dryer door hanging open after grabbing a kinda dry shirt to wear.

3. shut door and turn dryer back on

5. listen to the howling, crying animal outside your house and wonder what happened, only to realize that the animal is IN your house.

6. more accurately, in your dryer.

7. freak out as you grab your very warm, very fluffy orange cat out of the dryer.

8. wonder how long it will take your hands to stop shaking...and yes, he's fine. just a little huffy.
