domestic failure

who decided that wrinkles are un-good?  (who decided that un-good is an un-word?)

i have a "dressy casual" event this evening.  no worries, i have NEW PANTS (yeah thrift store!) and a NEW SHIRT (again, yeah thrift store!).  they were wrinkled. i can handle this.  i own  an iron, i own an ironing board.  i can do this!

nope.  can't do it.

my dressy pants now have wrinkles ironed into them!  the new pants don't look too bad because they're a heavier fabric.  the new shirt has a bit of shiny ribbon throughout it as well as darts or pleats or whatever it is that is put into girlie shirts to tuck them in around non-girlie places.  it also has puffy sleeves.  blargh!  i have no idea what to do with it.  i tried, but i'm not sure it looks any better.



BUT... if i live my entire life and my concerns are an inability to cook and iron but i have loved and been loved then i have succeeded.  i just may look a bit unkempt.
