What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
I iron and don't mind it. I don't think the dryer hack works well enough and only on rare occasions do I take something out of a normal drying cycle and find that it is ready to wear.
ReplyDeleteI do not iron. I bought my first iron years ago specifically to iron a tablecloth for Thanksgiving. My mom on the other hand ironed everything, right down to her underwear. Had the same ironing board from when I was a kid!
ReplyDeletePeople are always making fun of me because I still iron EVERYTHING! I will not wear anything that I can't/don't iron first - jeans, sweatshirts, even hankies! My Dad was in the Navy and it was my job to iron his hankies when I was little. My Mom ironed everything. The only things I don't iron are towels - unless they are decorative ones and have wrinkles. But I do iron my kitchen towels. One of my biggest worries about having CKD is the time will come when I can't iron...and hubby will burn a hole in everything! lol
ReplyDeleteI don't iron if I can avoid it. I own one but try to buy clothes that don't need it. Hubby's work shirts too. Mom didn't iron often. I wonder if that influences who irons and who doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI do own an iron and a small ironing board. However, I rarely iron. Usually only dress clothes. I try to buy clothes that do not need it in my opinion, but a shirt with a collar needs to be ironed. My mother always hated ironing and she used to have to iron her nurses uniforms. It was a happy day in our house when she could start wearing scrubs to work and they started being made in fabric that did not wrinkle.
ReplyDeleteI iron every morning, even though I hang up all my clothes and never dry them. I have tried a few handheld steamers and they suck.
