At long
last I hunkered down this past Sunday afternoon and tackled three months worth
of ironing. I really don’t like to iron.
Unlike my mother, who irons every day, I prefer the hot dryer, grab it
quick and hang it up on a hanger before it wrinkles method. That is how I deal with most of my clothes.
Eventually
things wrinkle to the point that you have to give them a proper press and that
is when I start accumulating a pile. I
can procrastinate like nobody else when it comes to the ironing pile. Unfortunately I waited so long with some
items I had to rewash them because they were dusty. Not a thrifty move there to be sure.
Once I
get it all done though, I feel a ton better about the fact that my closet is
full and there isn’t that daunting task nagging at me waiting to be done. Plus, I love how nice a well pressed blouse
or a pair of pants looks and feels when I put it on. You would think that would be enough
incentive to get right to it, wouldn’t you?
But alas, no.
What is
that one chore you absolutely despise doing?
How to get motivated to get it done?
I must be your kindred spirit since I loathe ironing. I was made to iron as a child. Nothing in our home was off limits to the iron except bath towels. Aaaack.
ReplyDeleteI don't iron and I won't. So as far as something I don't like to do but do it anyway, cleaning the inside of the fridge. I do it regardless.
The only things I iron, are my handmade creations, so I don't mind it at all... now, vacuuming and scrubbing the bathroom, well that's another story... ;) lol!!
