Chinese Laundry

My husband and I did wash today and the truth is that there are few things in life that go together as well as a laundromat and a chinese food restuarant next door. Seriously. You have to wait while you do your wash and you are probably going to get hungry so how convenient is it to be able to put your wash in and wander next door for some pork lo mein?

I remember when I was first out on my own working two jobs, substitute teacher by day and waitress at um, Cordially's by night. Some days I couldn't make it to the laundromat by closing and I would wash my uniform by putting it in the bottom of the shower and stamping on (like that I Love Lucy where she stamps on the grapes) while the shampoo ran over it. And of course it kinda showed and my boss would always harp on my permanent chocolate sauce stains. Of course that was before I found L.A.'S Totally Awesome. I am not being paid by them but you will hear me speak of this product often. I believe it is actually some sort of professional grade degreaser combined with a stain remover. My friend Joseph and I actually call each other up with new uses for this cleaning product and say things like "hey, I had this old fork with some balsamic dressing dried on it and I soaked it in Awesome and it is perfectly clean." These are the things that make me smile after a long day at work

Oh, I have simple dreams, simple things I long for, like my owen washer and dryer. But for now I will be content to eat my lemon chicken while the clothes dry.
