Experiment with Denim

I hate to iron. I try hard to buy wrinkle free garments and wear things that are forgiving of wrinkles. But there is one culprit in the laundry that drives me bananas. The auto-cuff feature of most jeans. I refuse to iron my jeans, so for years I have accepted the fact that the stupid seam on the bottom cuff of denim will always fold up.

A few weeks ago, you'll remember that I was in a HUGE rush and had to do last minute laundry to get to JA in time. My mom used to get after me all the time because my dirty laundry was always inside-out. As an adult, I have tried hard to take my clothes off without turning them inside-out, but it still happens, only now I tend to turn it the right way before tossing in the washer. That was, until a couple weeks ago.

See, when I threw that laundry in, I didn't have time to figure out what may be inside-out. I just washed and dried in a hurry. I did notice that my jeans were inside out (and dry!) but there was no cuff at the bottom. So for the past few weeks I have turned ALL my jeans inside out before washing and drying and guess what....NO MORE STUPID CUFFS AT THE BOTTOM! It actually cured the problem.

I waited to blog it because I wanted to make sure it consistently worked. And maybe none of you have this issue, and if you do, maybe it doesn't bug you like it bugs me...or maybe you really like to iron!

From now on, I wash jeans inside out.

A little relaxation

As I write this, I am sitting on the love seat with my wonderful husband, watching a little HGTV with coffee in had. It's an hour of relaxation before day two of hard work begins...or is it day ten? I guess it depends on perspective.

Our move was EASY! Movers were at the apartment by 8:30, loaded everything up, drove the 45 minutes to Highlands Ranch and had everything unloaded by 1:00. Not too shabby.

While I unpacked the kitchen, Chris went to Home Depot to buy a Weber grill so that we could have great steaks for dinner. The kitchen and living room are DONE! Today I tackle my office and the master bedroom.

Our washer and dryer will be here between 10 and noon today and I can't wait to do a load of laundry.

Also on the list today is shopping. Grocery shopping, curtain shopping (bedroom gets a little toasty in the afternoon/evenings), dog bed shopping, etc. etc. etc. Maybe when the sun sets tonight I can veg out on the love seat.
