I almost teared up twice while watching LEGALLY BLOND tonight.  LEGALLY BLOND!!  The first time when when Reese Witherspoon got her LSAT score and everyone celebrated.   And the second time was at the very end at the movie at her law school graduation when she speaks and says this incredibly cheesy and yet enlightening quote about believing in herself. 

I don't even know why... I guess I'm feeling emotional or some crap like that. 

Anyways, today was quite the interesting day at the laundromat.  Although decrepit old lady didn't scream at us, we had prime seats for:

1) the woman who brought her dog in with her (No pets being rule #2 on the front sign)

2) the man who came in trying to sell perfume (No soliciting being rule #1 on the front sign)

3) the woman who allowed her toddler to sit in the basket (No placing of children in baskets being rule #5 on front sign)

4) the woman who didn't see the OUT OF ORDER SIGN at the coin machine and proceeded to stick her twenty in. She was upset when no quarters came out and had to complain to the decrepit old lady.

5) the kid who kept on chanting "Mom... mom... mom... mom..." for about 10 minutes

As you can imagine, decrepit old lady wasn't happy in each situation and was glad to bark her opinion to those who had complete disrespect for laundromat rules and etiquette.   When it came to the "screaming" kid, she tuned to his parent and rudely asked "Is he going to shut up anytime soon?"

Sunshine and lollipops I tell you.

And though we did manage to avoid verbal attacks from her, Sarah overheard her telling a customer that she "get's these assholes all the time" and that she's "tired of their shit."

Awww, I think she likes us!!  All those evil eyes that she gives us must mean that she thinks we're COOL!!  :)

Anyways,  the highlight of my day at the "mat" was watching 2 little boys watching their every move on the security video.   You can see their expressions of "THATS ME" on their faces as they waved ("Is that really me??"), jumped ("Look at me jump!") and run along the row of dryers ("I'm so fast... you can't even see me!!")  Luckily, decrepit old lady didn't ruin their fun and therefore, didn't ruin mine either.  :)
