Land of the midnight ironing board

..or even the 3:00-3:30am ironing board.  Why is it that when insomnia strikes I usually have a basket full of ironing which I just happen to feel suits the sleepless moment?  I have just spent three hours ironing about two weeks worth of clothes, and putting on the washing machine three times.  (Shame on me for letting it get on top of me like that, but ssh!! if you don't tell, I won't either).  It's now 3:20am and I feel so wide awake that I suspect I won't be getting much sleep at all this night.

 

Oh well, I can feel a certain satisfaction in the neat piles of clothing waiting to be stored away at a more reasonable hour of the morning.

 

G'night, one and all..

  • Good night! I know that feeling of accomplishment. I also know how "wdie awake" you can sometimes feel in the middle of the night. I'm tired now (it's only 10:24 here, but still...) so I'm gonna go to bed.

  • While you're at it, Santana, would you mind pressing up a few shirts for me? Or am I too late in asking *smile*?

  • Well you know what you have to play on your bagpipe, don't you? The Irish Washerwoman.

    I've written on the subject of ironing as you may remember, and honestly, it's a much more complicated topic than I'd ever imagined.

    I had people flame me in France because I suggested that women might not need to iron everything and that American women didn't. They treated American women as slovenly types!
    I would even bring out a pillow case and show them it wasn't SYNTHETIQUE...you see? They'd think, but they honestly believed sheets should be ironed each time. French sheets sure, but not the ones I had from the States.
