So we have this oversized queen comforter...it doesn't fit in a regular washing machine. Of course, I knew this when I ordered it, but silly me...I didn't think it would be that big a deal to take it to the laundromat every once in awhile (and this was before I discovered that we had no access to industrial-sized washing machines in Germany).

So I did that today. I washed this comforter for the first time ever since we had it.

First of all...OMG. Laundromat was a total dump. I felt completely uncomfortable the minute I walked in, and the attendant kept hounding me, wanting to know if I needed help. USING A WASHING MACHINE IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! I think I can grasp it, thanks.

Also, there was some shady looking guy hanging around in there for no apparent reason, and he kept looking at my car (he did not appear to have laundry).

Secondly...$4 to use the washer. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I only had $5 in change. Luckily, the dryer was a quarter for 10 minutes, and I got the comforter mostly dry in half an hour.

But the comforter is now clean. I think I'll be getting a new one soon, though...preferably one that I can wash here at home.
