Doing it Yourself

I don’t wear a lot of stuff that needs to go to the dry cleaners. T-shirts, jeans, and leathers are kind of “wash and wear”. So the last time I took a pile of shirts (10 of them) to be laundered, I was dismayed to find out that it cost me about $25.

So, last night during Sunday night football I broke out the ironing board and the iron (I’ll admit, it took a bit of searching to find either) and ironed those same 10 shirts on my own. It probably took me about an hour to do get them done.

At $25/hour, I think I’ll be doing these on my own from now on.

(You should have seen the look of total shock on my wife’s face when she saw me breaking out the ironing board and ironing my own shirts — that alone was worth the time spent)
