Ironing

How do I hate thee?
Let me count the ways...


* You are time consuming
* You bring me no joy
* Unlike your counter parts (cleaning, housework) you do not complete me
* Your massive piles bring much guilt into my life
* If ever during the day I come to a spot where I feel I might actually be caught up on my work,
there you are,
looming in the laundry room
* I do not have the patience to care how you turn out
* If it weren't for you, I could assume I married my soul mate--
the man I am married to actually appreciates a nicely pressed shirt
unfortunately, for him,
I am not the kind of wife who delivers this precious gift all that often
* Let's just say it like it is, I don't see you and I ever becoming friends
it's just not in the cards for us

In conclusion I would like to say,
You're Lame.

I would also like to start a Non Ironers United movement.
Who's with me?

I'm in. Fortunately for me I married a guy who thinks wrinkled is cool.

Let Mike iron his own shirts... it is totally over rated anyways!

I'm with you. David and I just bought a new dryer (way over due for one. Our old one would take like 3 times of starting it on the Hot cycle to even get a small load dry) and one of the things that sold me on it is it has a refresh cycle and for me that means.
Got wrinkles? Throw it into the dryer on this cycle and pull it out when it beeps.

Just so you know, I am already the president of the non ironing movement. I never iron. Seriously. I should be fired most likely. I just subscribe to the whole getting things right out of the dryer and hanging them right up. Most of the time.

Well...the acorn didn't fall far from the tree...you do know where you got this dislike (hate) for ironing from don't you...you also know that I don't even own a real ironing board...some day I might buy one......or not!

I'm not in.....Ironing makes me happy. It's when I watch my "programs" as my parents would say. It makes me happy to have very tidy looking clothing. Sorry this is where you and I differ.
I "heart" ironing.

I never iron. But then again, Brady doesn't care.

well, you know my feelings on ironing, though my pride will not let me nor my children or hubby wear wrinkled clothing. We have a bunch of clothing that is worn infrequently as a result...until my mom or mother in law comes, takes pitty on me and irons it.

I make my husband iron his own shirts. How is that for being a nice wife!

I love this post! Ironing is super LAME and I just don't do it. So, if you don't judge me and my wrinkly clothes then I wont judge you :)
