Guess what I did today...

For those of you who know me....know...I don't iron. In fact, before Eric and I got married, I warned him and made it a prerequisite that I would not have to iron for him. I know most of you are thinking....poor Eric, but at least I warned him. I think it was a little bit of an adjustment for him because he used to iron his clothes by the week, and have it all laid out for the entire week. And then he married someone who doesn't iron...but like I said...at least I warned him.

Seriously, I can iron something, and you usually can't even tell that I ironed it....so what's the point? I'm more of the spray your shirt with water....and hope the wrinkles fall out. (Eric has adapted to this method too.) Well, today, I pulled out the iron that Eric had before we got married...the same iron that has fallen behind the washing machine and cracked...the same iron that has some kind of residue on the iron plate......and I ironed two things. One was for Makenna because this adorable outfit that Niki gave her needed to be ironed before she could wear it again, and you know it really had to be ironed if I said it did...no water could help it. (Thanks a lot, Niki!) And this shirt that I bought the other day at Kohl's desperately needed to be iron. (Had I known this...I probably wouldn't have bought the shirt, but oh well..it does look really cute with the skirt I bought.)

So, yep, I did it. I ironed two things. You must realize the last time I pulled out the old, cracked iron was when the boys did a project for school last year, and it required ironing over wax paper to melt the little beads. (hence, maybe the residue on the iron plate??) And if I even had to think about the last time I ironed clothes....well...I can't even remember that. College??? Okay it's not been that long, but I think you get the point. I ironed today, and I'm very pleased with myself. Maybe I'll try it again sometime soon.....NOT!
