okay
guess we can go ahead um well i guess you know it's you know since living in Dallas it's always so hot so in the summertime i just i wear lots of shorts so because i don't work during the day
um-hum
so do you work
yes uh-huh yeah i do work um
oh
and but i work at a manufacturing plant so i wear a lot of blue jeans and T-shirts
uh-huh uh-huh
but occasionally i have to get dressed up and wear panty hose and a dress and high heel shoes and i feel really uncomfortable doing that and in the plant so uh it's it's a problem for me
uh-huh
yeah
uh-huh
but normally i just wear blue jeans and a T-shirt very very comfortable i like that so much better than having to wear dress clothes
uh-huh
yeah yeah and buying suits and stuff yeah because just being at home and i work at home so
um-hum
i just have you know i just wear my you know my shorts and stuff like that i don't go out and spend lots of money on uh different you know suits and stuff you know
um-hum um-hum
but when i before i got married you know i was working so i uh
you know i had more suits and stuff then but
right
worry about all that kind of stuff
well i have plenty of suits and dress clothes because i'm like you when i first started working um
uh-huh
i have all these suits and blouses and skirts and mix and match and that kind of stuff
uh-huh
but now that i you know work in the manufacturing plant then it's just it's so much more difficult for me to to actually get dressed up to come in to work like that
right
um but occasionally i have to because uh part of my job is teaching and training and uh so you have to look just a little bit nicer than your normal grab
uh-huh
when you're training right yeah
than your normal garb but i'm like you too uh i moved from Ohio down to here
uh-huh moved somewhere i mean
and i had mostly polyesters and wools and winter clothes and buying all these cotton clothes and then of course you have to iron them all the time that's really that's been a problem for me
winter
uh-huh
uh-huh
yeah because i came from Wyoming and i had wool suits and wool skirts and
you know i've got all these clothes that i never wear because you can't wear them here and um
right
right
the seasons are just so much different you have so much summer
um-hum
and uh so then when i you know i finally get a chance to go out with my husband it's like a real chore to find something nice to wear
that's true that's true
yeah
well i know i was just now um uh putting away a lot of my winter clothes
uh-huh
and i was going through here and i was thinking i haven't worn this in three years
yeah
and because it's a wool skirt and there's just not that many opportunities to wear it and i have five or six wool skirts
yeah
uh-huh
so i was thinking well maybe you know i need to think about getting rid of them but
no i folded it up neatly and put it away maybe next year
yeah you hate to get rid of it because you know how much you spent on them
um-hum um-hum
and it's real hard to get rid of some of that stuff i know
i know i agree with you
so
well i know last year uh well this past winter it wasn't that cold
uh-huh
but the previous winter we had more uh cold weather where i was able to actually wear your double and triple layerings of uh clothes yeah like you would when you're up north so
uh-huh
clothes yeah
uh-huh
that's really interesting
yeah yeah and i i just don't spend you know right now my clothes come from Target you know
yes yes yes and they're all one hundred percent cotton and
yes and they you take them out of the drier and they're wadded up in a ball
yes yes i know so i uh i have my ironing board sitting out all the time i never put mine away
oh i'm so glad to meet somebody that that their iron board is their permanent fixture in their house
it is it is
you know i have very little furniture but my ironing board is part of my decor so
that's true and and i've been looking at these um uh like in Home Depot where you can go and they've got that ironing boards that will just flip right down off of the um uh
what the the the door and uh and then you can have actually have one where you can put it inside of a wall you know to have it permanently attached and that's what i'm thinking i'm going to have to do because mine's sitting right out in front of my bedroom and it's just
uh-huh
uh-huh
it's just an eyesore i think with all the
well yeah it is it is but it's like uh i just don't want to do it
hum-um hum-um no i've been thinking about putting the ironing board in the closet
yeah
uh-huh
and and running you know a line in there for my iron so i could do it in there and i wouldn't have to have that eyesore
yeah
that's an idea oh yeah
yeah so i have a big closet
yeah i you know if i have if i know i'm having somebody come over to the house and there's a possibility they might be going back into my room i will put it away but
um-hum yeah
i iron our clothes as we go along so you know
um-hum i no longer do that weekly thing because i have so many and i'm like you i the night before or that day i will iron whatever it is that we need and that's it because it's too many hundred percent cotton
right no
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh you can't iron it all and
um-hum
yeah and then with my kids they're always getting into you know they can't decide what they want to wear so they change their minds you know i know i mean my oldest is only four but she's
um-hum
um-hum
changes her mind two or three times before she figures out what she's going to wear so
right right oh i know i know
and then they never put anything back
no no of course not no that uh that would be too simple
so
uh-huh
yeah that that that's called smart you know they don't we don't do that kind of stuff you know
absolutely not
that's called too easy on mom
that's right
our lot in life is to make her life miserable so
uh-huh absolutely absolutely
um
oh
yeah well that's it's been good talking to you to see somebody hear somebody that does the same thing i do because i tell people what i do and they just go oh how do you do that it's like it's easy you just do it you know
that's right that's right you do you do so uh but yeah i uh i know several of my girlfriends though we uh we all keep our ironing boards out and just uh an ever present thing in our household so
uh-huh
yeah yeah i don't think i'd know what to do if it wasn't there you know my husband wouldn't know where to hang his dirty clothes
you know
there you go things that need to be mended things that have to get ironed um-hum um-hum um-hum that's true
yeah he wouldn't know where to put things so
yeah so
oh well it was nice talking with you
oh it was nice talking with you too
okay take care uh-huh bye-bye
take care bye-bye
