Leave it to me to pick the wrong day. That is exactly what I did today. I decided yesterday that I was going to go to the laundromat this morning to wash all of my heavy comforters and quilts in their big washing machines. I needed change so I stopped at bank first...Oh crap the bank is closed due to Columbus Day!! I didn't even think about today being Columbus Day. So I am like ok now what do I do. There is a tobacco store next to the laundromat and Brian takes a $20 in to get change since the changer in the laundromat takes $10. Well that worked about as good as going to the bank!! The woman in the tobacco store tells Brian that there is a law that when the banks are closed due to a holiday that the stores can't give you change because of "funny money". I think this is the most stupiest thing I have ever heard!! Next to the tobacco store is a Save A Lot store. I tell Brian to go in there and buy a can corn or something just so we can get change, no problem he comes out with a can of corn and the prized change!! Ok so now we go back next door to the laundromat only to find that all of the big washing machines are taken. Drive across town to the other laundromat which I find empty, yay!! Plenty of big washing machines to use. Each machine cost $3 and I had 3 of them. The dryers I had to use $1 in each and 2 had to use .50 cents more. It was cutting it close but I had enough quarters to get them all done. YAY!! Hopefully the next time I have to wash this stuff up I won't choose a holiday to do it on.
LOL. There are some days when you wonder if it was a good idea leaving the house in the first place :-))
