5am: So THAT's where the ironing board is. I might as well get the wrinkles out while I torch. (erect board, toss pile of clothes on, head out to studio)
7am: Huh. I guess it takes longer to do its thing.
(look skeptically at still very wrinkled pile of clothes)
11am: Damn. STILL not finished?
(glare at lazy ironing board and make a tomato sandwich)
1pm: (&*#@!)
(fold up broken ironing board and shove it back in the closet.)

Me, right about now.

OMG...you have no idea how hard I am laughing as I'm picturing MY ironing board at home. Where it has been sitting in my room...with a pile of clothes, magazines and a suitcase on it.
ReplyDeleteSince March.
Yeah, there's a reason I TRY to buy as much wrinkle-free clothing as possible.
And the rest of the time, I am with you in Sharpei-land.
Shame on that mean ole ironing board for not ironing those clothes like it was supposed to!!! I do still use mine regularly but I'm also still working a 9 to 5 job in a law firm so the Shar-pei look wouldn't fly.
ReplyDeleteI also hate ironing, i tend to get my lovely hubby to do some, and i find people quite mad when they say they like ironing, i wonder why,
ReplyDeleteDarn those ironing boards! They never work like they should!
ReplyDeletewhat is ironing?
ReplyDeleteInam with "Spirited Earth"- what IS ironing? I NEVER Iron a thing- never. Sharpeis and wrinkled clothes/so lovely and mysterious- well I don't buy clothes that wrinkle- that is how I roll and thus never Iron- :) it's a good way to live. :)
ReplyDeleteFour words: Downey Wrinkle Release, baby. Spritz, shake, ta da!
ReplyDeleteThat and the drycleaner.
I bought an iron 4 years ago - it's still in the box. Iron is one of my marital non negotiables -- as in, I don't do it, ever.
just about everything i own is wash & wear. Drying racks are invaluable...then just use a spray bottle with a 1/4 cup downy then filled the rest of the way with water...spritz your clothes and toss in the dryer for 5 minutes...and TA-DA!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantabulous weekend!
