~ My Story ~
Big Monday, wash day. Her hands dabbled in the wash water but imagination made her lady of the house. Breakfast in bed, attended by others, going out dressed fit to kill.
The bubble burst, cold air chilled her hands, she wrung cloths to rinse and came back to herself.
She was a washer girl.
(Too many characters, I'll do better next time. :))

Good one!
You can always do two! good one, thanks!
Maybe next year she'll win the lottery! Great story.
Here's a link that will count your characters for you called Design 215: http://www.design215.com/toolbox/character_count.php
It counts punctuation and spaces as characters, as does Twitter.
What an imagination she has and that can always work for anyone! Fun take for the day! Enjoy your week!

Everyone deserves the right to dream. What this girl needs is a plan to go with it! Good one, and Merry Christmas (in spite of the wind...)

Every girl needs a dream, right? :)
At least she's happy in her work.
This was like an essay!
Well I loved it, too many characters or not!
Blessings Magnolia! :)
The character limitation is a killer, but you'll find that it does get easier :)
I liked how you reworked the words into a poem. It actually works better. Nicely done.
She really is a dreamer and that's what gets some through their days I say! Fun MM!

Bubble burst - good one!
Harsh reality just had to intrude on her musings!!
Pity, that.
:)
Good attempts. Nice story. Loved it!

Wow, nice bit of editing! I think you'll be great at this.
Too many characters or no, I love what you did with this! Poor little washer girl.
