I just got back from a week long trip and went to wash my clothes yesterday. As I was putting my vest into the wash, I thought, "I should check for things in the pocket." But then I remembered I had already checked them before tossing them in the wash.
 
So last night I put them in the dryer.
Today I took them out to find they were covered with blue blobs, splotches, dots, and measles. I had washed and dried a blue ink pen and a sharpie marker with my clothes. Now what? Somehow random blue spots don't look all that great on a red floral skirt. This is even worse than washing a red shirt with your white items. Most of the stuff in my wash was already red or pink or black.
I guess I may be using those new sewing patterns I bought a lot sooner than I had planned.

    gah, how irritating! fortunately for me, the mrs does the laundry--that's for the best as i'd likely be having pen/laundry problems rather often!

    I suppose that's one of the prices I pay for being a writer. I must have a pen on me at all times. I can't even go out to lunch without a notebook or I find myself writing on napkins or my arm.
