Retro - My Life







Nowadays it seems that nearly every company has a casual dress code which is very convenient. Well, my hubs isn't one of those lucky ones, he wears shirt and tie to work everyday. For years now we have been taking a weekly armload of clothes to our dry cleaner as he likes his shirts crisp and we both hate ironing, this works all around. Two weeks ago when I did the dry cleaning pick up, I had to fork over $25.00! I realized this was an area that needed to be cut, not willingly mind you, but necessary. Ugh!


Last week I picked up a can of spray starch and did my laundry. I set up my ironing board and my new iron (woo hoo!) in the family room in front of the tv. My days are fun filled, little pockets of heaven. As I stood there cursing under my breath I had this sudden urge to watch As The World Turns! Is that still on tv? I had this vision of my mother ironing in the living room watching her "stories" with a sprinkle bottle on the ironing board. Who remembers sprinkle bottles? I'm really showing my age I fear. Anyway, for now, this is a piece of my life. I have reverted to the 1960's.






And yes, that's how I dress ever day at home! No stretch yoga pants and t-shirts on this woman, ha!
