Those were lovely- nice and high and flat and no doggies or cats or two-year-olds to pull things off. ;-)<br /><br />Quarters: Oooh, then you need to visit again. :-) Now they have those machines that take bills and turn them into quarters. $20 into 80 quarters, YES!

(similiar problem to above, muuuuuuch worse).<br />- that creepy feeling i would get when folding my "delicates" in front of leering men. i would eventually stuff them unfolded into my laundry bag in red-faced shame. i don't miss that.<br />- the compulsion to HOARD QUARTERS. i haven't needed to use the laundromat in over 10 years. i still feel the need to save every quarter i get.Homekepthearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956031330588819459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045611158824613366.post-34552697667603820832010-10-02T22:00:58.224-04:002010-10-02T22:00:58.224-04:00I love laundromats much I dedicated an ample bit o...I love laundromats much I dedicated an ample bit of self-indulgent prose to them in my NaNoWriMo. :PA&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199451832512165484noreply@blogger.com
