OMG!!!! 8 years ago, I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar (mostly true) and I started collecting the state quarters. I had collected a few when I got the flu or something, so to make me feel better Luke got me the quarter map.
For some reason it was THE BEST GIFT EVER!!!! I was soo excited to have the map to stick my quarters in. I NEVER thought that I would see it through to completion?! "8 years", I thought, "I'll be 31 when the last quarter comes out. There is NO WAY I will still be collecting quarters when I'm THAT old".
Well kids, let that be a lessen for ya. Every three to four months for 8 years I went to the bank to ask for the new quarter.
The bank staff laughed at me, saying that I was the youngest person by 30 years that was collecting the quarters.
"Most people get these for their grandchildren", they would say.
Well, now I have all 50 quarters!
Today ranks up there with the best days of my life!!! It is over! No more obsessing about the next quarter, no more turning over change looking of the one I don't have yet.
I am no longer a collector of ANYTHING!! "WHOO HOOO!!!!" Is all I can say! I almost forgot about putting the final quarter in my map tonight.
It was a momentous occasion.
I am going straight to get the thing framed tomorrow!
