I bought an IRON!

Okay, c'mon, pick yourself up off the floor, dust yourself off and finish reading my blog...

Yes, I bought an IRON!

And what's more amazing is that I USED IT!

What brought about this transformation you may ask? This did:


This little baby uses steam to make your clothes wrinkle free and, YOU ONLY HAVE TO IRON ONE SIDE and the other side gets pressed too! What busy working mom doesn't need one of these? Tonight I ironed 2 baskets full of clothes (t-shirts, pajama bottoms, and sweat shirts) in less than one hour. If I sound like an infomercial it's because I listened to the lady at the Home Show booth for about 20 minutes--and watched her iron sequinced tops, lingerie, clothes with iron ons, wool suit jackets and 8 table napkins at one time--and talked to 3 or 4 people who already owned one and asked them all kinds of questions before I finally broke down and bought one. And, because I was one of the first 20 people to buy (yeah, that's not a scam or anything) I totally got a cute little travel iron for all those amazing trips I plan to cross off my bucket list in the next couple of years!

I'm going to ride camels as the dawn breaks into the Valley of Kings in a neatly ironed linen outfit, and I'm going to visit the Parthenon in a wrinkle free toga, and I'm even going to show up in Hawaii at a looo-owww (luau? lou-ow? luuu-owl?) in the sharpest grass skirt and coconut bra the island has ever seen. Oh yeah, I'm going to totally rock the travel iron!

Don't worry though, I'm not going to get out of control or anything because I have already showed amazing restraint when I stopped myself from ironing the underwear.  I stood there with the iron hovering over the little briefs, mind you, and then I came to my senses.  And moved on to the socks.

What's next?

Can I iron vinyl blinds? Leather couches? The seats in the car? The children's hair? The mail?

Oh, I feel giddy...the possibilities are endless.

And yes, Anita...feel free to bust out into giggles 'cause I know you're rejoicing over there...

Must run now...the buzzer on the dryer just went and I'm sure something in their could use some of my attention.....

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Happy 20th Anniversary to Us!!

Yeah, so the old man and I have been hitched for 20 years today.  Been together for 30 years (yes, we started dating when we were BABIES!) and yes, I have been with him for more than 1/2 of my life.  That's pretty crazy when you think of it...he's been there for EVERY major milestone of my life, and I for his.  It's pretty hard for either of us to pull a 'remember when' memory from a period of our lives in which the other person wasn't present.  Oh sure we went off and did things separately, like I lifeguarded for 2 summers in a little town in the Interior, and he lived in the Okanagan for about a year, and he climbed mountains with friends and did hikes that I wasn't part of,  but we were still a couple.   We started dating when I was 14 and he was 17--I had to get special permission from my parents to date him because I wasn't allowed until I was 16.  I remember the discussion quite vividly and my parents agreed to allow him to come over, and to take
