I got back home at 10 in the morning (!!!) because of too many assignments I had to deal with at work. yeah, I know it's crazy but that's alright. I am doing this by my choice and this doesn't last forever. Anyway, I took a nap and went shopping for groceries. Then, I bought a nice clothes iron because the old one gave up on me awhile ago. The new one is cordless. It's supposed to be very good according to the sales guy. The thing is that I seriously hate ironing anything. I am not good at doing the ironing. Really. So I used to go to this dry cleaning place and let them do my clothes instead. However, I decided to be more budget concious since I spent too much money on the vacation. The cordless part would make me feel easier than it should be.... I hope... I hope there is a class for Ironinng 101 or something. Is there? 'd better be good at this. I mean it would be so kewl if I could iron my work shirts quickly and brilliantly with just a smile. However, if I do it now, it takes me more than 30 minutes to get things done with this stressful wrinkles on my face..... I need to be better at it to be a good husband.... I am sure it will take awhile..... Wish me luck! Have a briilliant weekend, guys!
My tips for ironing are (1) read the care labels to see what temperature setting works best; (2) iron your clothes inside out, so that if you accidentally scorch the fabric, it (hopefully) won't show; (3) leave the dress shirts to the cleaners since they don't cost that much to clean, right? They are a pain to iron! ; (4) when you wash your laundry, you should give them a good hard shake before hanging them--that usually helps with the wrinkles.
Sometimes I like to iron my clothes straight from the wash--it dries them at the same time, too! I usually don't do the whole load though--just what I'm going to wear in the coming few days.
Happy househusband training!
Hi GaijinGirl,
Thanks for the tip! Well, as a matter of fact, I usually stare at the iron for about 3 minutes before I do it. It's just giving me headache!!! You should probably teach me how to do it. Does Martha Stewart teach anything at all?? hmmmm..... I am so desperate when it comes to ironing. :-) Thanks for stopping by and you have a pleasant Sunday!
Ugh! Ironing!? I have an iron somewhere, I think. I remember that I used to iron my shirts back when I worked as a graphic designer and had to look halfway respectable (at least I didn't have to wear a tie like the marketing drones). I didn't have an ironing board so I used the seat of my Soloflex with a towel on it. The Soloflex is long gone but the iron is stuffed in a closet somewhere I think...
