Ironing

My husband was in the military...he likes his clothes ironed...he likes them done the right way...hense, I do a lot of ironing. I also had a father who was in the military...he liked his clothes ironed...he liked them done right...hense, I did a lot of ironing growing up. When I would iron my dad's fireman shirts (He was on the fire department) and if I didn't get them just  right, I would have to do them over until I got them right. Doug is not that picky, but he does like them to look nice. I like him to look nice. I hadn't been able to keep up on the ironing lately and I decided on Saturday I would start to get caught up. Today, Tuesday, I finally finished. I think it was 34 shirts and 5 pants. In the middle of it this morning my iron died, so I ran to the store and got a new one. It was so nice. I didn't realize how bad the old one had gotten. Anyway, enough of my rambling. I just wanted to toot my horn that I got the ironing done and I am going to try to keep up with it.
Also, I am decorating for Halloween and I will soon post some pictures. It is so fun. Off to my Tuesday night meetings. TaTa.

  2. Ugh, ironing. I am never caught up on that- good job getting it done. It is funny how you don't realize how bad something is until you get a new one.
    I am excited to see your Halloween pics. I love to decorate for this time of year!
    Love, Laura

  5. Oh Boy, I remember that way too well!!! Dad did like his shirts ironed the right way, didn't he?! I don't like to iron, I will if I have to, but I try my best to get out of it every chance I get! I usually dry the shirts for a few minutes in the dryer then hang them up...Wa La...most of the wrinkles gone! You are my hero though - 35 shirts and 5 pants!! Kudos on the new iron!! Love you~
