What you ask? How am I writing on the blog if I'm liquidating all my assets in order to pay off debts? Not that kind of bankrupt, silly! I'm going to declare laundry bankruptcy this weekend.
I have nothing but a small stackable washer and dryer in my apartment, so doing all of the laundry that has accumulated that doesn't absolutely have to be done is going to take weeks if I were to undertake the entire endeavor.
What, exactly, is a laundry bankruptcy and how does one declare such a thing? Fortunately, there are no costly lawyers involved, nor is your credit tarnished for 7 years. Rather, one feels better immediately after declaring laundry bankruptcy. You know that you're a candidate for laundry bankruptcy when the mountain of laundry in your apartment is taller than you are (no, not really my case, but you get the point). So how does one declare laundry bankruptcy?
The procedures may vary slightly, depending on where you live. The gist of it, though, is a trip to the local laundromat. You can either do the laundry yourself there, or, for a fee, they will generally do the laundry for you and you can pick it up later. After all, is doing umpteen loads of laundry really worth my time and effort? I don't really think so.
After all this is done, I'll probably have enough clean clothes for a year! :)

I just wanted you to know that umpteen is my favorite number. It ranks up there with forty-eleven. I don't think that umpteen calls up such visions of hyperbole as forty-eleven. It still suits the purpose of declaring an as yet undetermined value without springing you into a number so great that it could represent much more than any word ending in "teen".
Funny Story.
heh, it is hard to declare laundry bankruptcy in parts of New England. You know we were moving from NH to the Boston area, and decided to get ALL laundry clean before the move. We had to scope out a laundromat that would stay open late enough for us to get all our loads done. We ended up having to drive up to Manchester from Nashua to this place, we ate lunch and dinner takeout there while doing the laundry. It was an interesting experience :) We must have done at least 20 loads...
