OK, so they can make a camera that can take a photo..




....then you can view it, manipulate it, remove someone, change it from color to black and white, print it, send it it a blip if a second...


And yet...we still have to iron shirts.


What's up with that?? I mean, yes, I know they have "perma-press" but, seriously....seriously??



No body, no shape, no starch.

One would think the great minds of the world would be able to make a shirt that actually had shape, form AND function..huh?



I guess then I'd have nothing to wish on that first star I see at night..


"star light, star bright, make a shirt I don't have to iron tonight.."



So, while my Mother-in-Law is in California visiting Mr. B 2.0, I am ironing. ( she says she LIKES to iron...and so, in an unselfish act on my part...ahem...I let her iron Mr. B's shirts...)

Not so bad really. The ironing part..Mr. B 2.0's not so bad either. Or California.
I have spray starch and clean shirts. I have a TV to watch and a cat purring on the foot-stool.

But I really need to work on the stance...


Dress on..Check.



Apron on..Check.



Right hand on iron..left hand on forhead...uh...wha??


Gotta work on that one..

Hey, did I tell ya I found a really CUTE red ironing board at an Estate sale this past summer?


I can't wait until Spring so I can have the girls over for a summer brunch outside, with the old ironing boards used as buffet tables! (I totally lifted that idea from MaryJane's Farm magazine!)
OK, so have a good begging of the week...and middle ...and before you know it, it'll be the week-end again!


Happy ironing! Yeah...right.

All my life ironing has been one of my things. Not because I loved it,but because it is a big pet peeve. After all my kids would go to bed I would starch and press there clothes for school and have them hung on their door. Oh I didn't leave Brian out. I even press T-shirts.Go ahead an tell me im nuts.
When I did start work and the kids left Brian started doing his own.
I still am attracted to a pair of jeans starched so stiff they stand up hehe.

I am glad I am not the only iron who irons. When I say I have ironing to do, people look at me like I'm batty. Sorry, but I can't stand to put away wrinkled clothes.

Ironing...bleggh! I do it when it needs done and not a second before! : ) I used to iron the kids clothes...and taught them all how to do it themselves. Of course, they never would, or did, or do!! LOL!
I love the ironing board with the red legs! Buffet table...great idea!

I used to love ironing. Maybe I could still get into it with men's white shirts. But...since I don't have the m.a.n....why care. :)
