SO STUPID!!

Trying to prepare to go to the gallery...

My earring roll looked icky. So I decided to iron it.

(bear in mind this is only about the 3rd time in my life I've ironed
anything).

The plastic backing part melted.
(And splashed on my bare leg a little but that's ok. I think I got it
off fast enough).



Now I'm not so sure I want to iron the clothing. Oh and I can't get the
heavy boxes down from way over my arm's reach where DH stacked them
anyhow! ERG!!!

ouch. I hate ironing. One of my biggest pet peeves about my job is the
fact that I have to wear button up dress shirts, which require
ironing. I swear I just create bigger wrinkles in different places
when I try to iron them. What cruel person decided to make difficult
to iron clothing out of fabric that gets wrinkled if you look at it
the wrong way?

I thought that just happened to me (just making more wrinkles in
different places). I can't figure out what to do with buttons at all.
Or collars... or sleaves....

Every time I order something from a catalog that says it is no-wrinkle
it turns out to be polyester. Yuck, hot.
So I try to wear skirts made out of sweat-suit material and/or to not
care about wrinkles... I guess that is one benefit of where I work, no
dress code at all! I assume there is no dress code for "grad student"
either.

Okay, in Austin if you have to wear more than shorts, a t-shirt, and flip
flops it's way too formal. I only wore business casual if we had a big
meeting. And I still hated it.

As for DH's clothes...well he dresses to the nines. He loves crisp ironed
shirts and pants. Blah. He does his own ironing as did my ex-husband. All
you have to do is ruin enough of their clothes for them to do it on their
own. As for me, if I need something ironed I give it to DH.

If it needs to be ironed or dry cleaned, it stays in the store.

I have found that removing things from the washer and hanging them on a
hanger to dry with a good shake usually cuts down on the need for ironing.

When I first got married and joined DH in Malta I had to iron his Navy
uniform shirts.
When I was about to start the ironing he came in and said I will show
you how to iron my shirts. He said remember this.

First the sleeves,
Then the chest,
Leave the front,
And bugger the rest.

Washing and ironing in Malta was a real chore. First of all no washing
machines, no running hot water apart from the gas geyser over the bath.
That had to be operated with the window wide open because of fumes.

I used to wash bent over the bath mostly with cold water. Everything had
to be rung by hand. Washing sheets was a nightmare. drying was not so
bad if the weather was fine , when it used to be hung on the line on the
flat roof. Apart from when we got sandstorms from the Sahara desert.
Then the babies nappies got filled with sand and it took ages to shake
it all out.

I used to have to boil the nappies in a small bath on top of the
paraffin primus stove

In wet times it was hung about the flat dripping. There was no heating
or fires in the flat apart from the paraffin heater that we had to buy.

I was really happy when I found a laundry to do his uniforms and the
bedding. managing the rest was not so bad.

Cooking was not any easier. I have the primus stove and a double gas
ring run on bottled gas. My oven was like a tin box with a door that I
had to lift and put on top of the gas rings.

Married life got easier when we got back to England. LOL

My husband doesn't even *let* me wash his clothes! I did it once, and he
asked me sweetly to please never do it again. I guess he does this
thing with seperating colors?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

He is also a very fancy-dressing guy when he goes and meets with
clients, pressed wool pants and a tie and all that. VERY cute! And funny
'cause at home he works in a shredded old t-shirt and jammy bottoms.
