I pride myself on my research.
Few things bring me more pleasure than researching potential purchases. I’ve always thought my due diligence was of the higher standard. I read reviews, I search, search, and search again. I read blogs, check out ratings and search some more.
My methodical approach has served me well: Nikon D-90 — brilliant; BOB double jog stroller — perfect; Tory Burch sandals — lust-worthy. It wasn’t until the Maytag Neptune that I questioned the existence of the Internet.
Absolutely, the worst washing machine EVER. Seriously, how this mammoth navigated its way out of research and development is incomprehensible. Sadly, it did and with a rockstar team of marketers behind it, I fell for it. Five-star rating after five-star rating. Number one on Consumer Reports. All total BS. This sucker twists, rips and shreds clothes beyond belief and somehow doesn’t remove crumbs.
Nine months after I purchased the Maytag Neptune, it was pulled off the market. Research it now and you’ll find a myriad of reports on class action lawsuits. My only hope now is that one of those savvy PR execs monitoring MAYTAG online mentions sees this and feels bad about my poor, mutilated swimsuit coverup.
Julie! I am cracking up. First of all,how do you have time for this? Second, I can just hear you cussing the washing machine. I am in the market for a new one now, so in your other spare time will you research it…while you are planning my brothers wedding? Thanks!
First of all this blog is great for me. You see now I get to read all about you without even picking up the phone. This will now free up a couple hours a week for me so maybe I will have time to read a book or take a luxurious bath since I have not had time to do either since my first child was born 4 years ago. Hopefully, I will learn on your blog how to locate the extra 5 hours a day that you have been blessed with and I have clearly been robbed of…or maybe just some tips on how to keep my sanity..and I only have two kids:) you are unstoppable!!!! I love this blog. It is fantastic! Please tell me P is going to post too.
Oh, don’t forget to review the Pentax.

Jooooo-Research my rear end. After I had done all the research, I told you and P not to buy that damn Neptune. I even gave your our research packet. Our Fisher and Paykel, that you snobbed, is still roaring through the dirty britches.
Julie…this is halarious! I ran into Michael the other day and he told me about your blogging. I’m looking for a video camera…can you research that in all your spare time??? HaHa!!!
Thanks Shannon!
I’ll let u know on the camcorders!
Julie, Amy and I just read your blog….your takes on babysitting and potty training were funny….your creativity never ceases to amaze me…we can’t wait to read your next posting…Good day and good luck!
