Tuesday woes

Sierra524

Its Tuesday. The lamest day of the week (IMO). Its pretty much like Monday to me.
So, I had a dream last night that my brother & I were in the Hunger Games. I was good with the knife & he was good with the bow. Random! I havent watched that movie in a while, so IDK where that dream came from.
I shut off my alarm this morning and didnt reset it, as I sometimes do. This made me wake up at 816am. I have to leave my house at 830am. I didnt even have enough time to get any coffee ready. Thank goodness there is coffee in my office. Although, I cannot wait for lunch time to go across the street to Tim Hortons.
Anyway, I have a random question...how can I get wrinkles out of clothes without an iron? I dont have one (I put a nice one on my registry) but I do have a dryer. I thought that if you put them in the dryer on "fluff" that would help. But, it doesnt. They come out with the same amount of wrinkles.

Have you thought about purchasing Downy Wrinkle Releaser?  You just spray, tug and smooth out the clothes while they are hanging.

You can also try just hanging them up in a steaming bathroom and then pull/tug and smooth out the wrinkles.

Also, with the dryer, I find that it does help to get rid of wrinkles but I can only put in maybe 3 pieces of clothing.  You need to give the clothes a lot of room in the dryer for them to not come out wrinkly.

Finally, when you do dry clothes don't wait to take them out of the dryer, instead as soon as the dryer goes off pull the clothes out and fold/hang them.  This should prevent any wrinkles.

Edit:  And about your dream I have random dreams like that all the time.  Like I wake up and think, "what?  why the heck did I just dream about that!?"  And just last night my H talked in his sleep and said "what you upset about bro?"  I can only wonder what that dream was about LOL!

Ha I don't iron. I'm a huge "that's what dryers are for" proponent. My dryer has a de-wrinkling cycle that lasts for like 20 minutes and it works great.

Do you have a steam option? That's really all you need to get them out.

I love my steamer for getting out wrinkles. I haven't used an iron in ages. To avoid wirnkles though I just take my clothes out immediately when the dryer finishes and then lay them out/hang them up. It's a bit bothersome if you're in the middle of doing something when the dryer finishes but definitely worth it.

I didn't know there were Tim Hortons in the US! I thought we canucks had the monopoly on that

I have some Tuesday woes. Can I play!?

Both my work computers are broken.  The charging cord is broken on one and the VGA port is broken on the other so I can't show my students the presentation I prepared.

AT&T network seems to be down so my phone isn't working.

And our central copying center forgot a page on the student handouts.

So yeah not a fun day.  Going to have to bring things back to the stone ages today.

I guess I did forget to include my Tuesday woe...

My Tuesday woe is that I am stuck at work while an incredibly huge and fantastic parade and rally is happening right now down in Baltimore to welcome home our Super Bowl Champs!  And I can't even stream it live on my computer because my work has tried to block anything and everything that could be remotely fun on our computers.  Hopefully they don't wise up and block TK then I really would go bat crap crazy without anything to do.

Hahahaha. I know the feeling. Between TK, Amazon & FB, my days at work are a little better. If my manager blocked them, I would go crazy!

Maggie, I read the part of your woe with the super fantastic fun parade and thought, "wth silly, you are bad at woeing" then I read the rest and you're right, that does suck.

My woe is that I'm vacuuming at the play school I take the girl I watch to today.  Last time I did it, it was horrible.  The little girl is afraid of the vacuum, so when other people do it we tend to go to the bathroom or outside where she can't hear it, but when I'm the one doing the vacuuming and she has to stay away from me, she clearly thinks it is unacceptable.  Last time she had a major melt down, and I ended up having to carry her and sing to her louder than the vacuum.  It took three times longer than it normally would.  I am not looking forward to it.

I don't really have a Tuesday woe. I'm cuddled up on my couch with my coffee and my dog watching the Super Bowl parade while the baby sleeps. And I don't have to work until 2:00. And I get to go to trivia tonight.  It's actually a pretty good day

As for wrinkles, put the wrinkled item in the dryer with a damp towel. Works like a dream.

Hahaha, yeah, but that is a major woe today when you are a die hard Ravens fan to miss out on something so amazing as the return of our champs!

And I am in no way comparing my dog to a child, but that my dog is ridicuously afraid of our vacuum.  Every time I pull it out her eyes get huge and she runs down into our basement which isn't finished thus no vacuuming needed and stays there for hours after I am done.  I try to tell her that if she stopped shedding like crazy we wouldn't have to vacuum all the time to catch the fur balls floating around the house.

I have never heard of a kid being afraid of a vacuum but I could see the noise being quite overwhelming when they are little.

Maggie, WJZ should be streaming it.  That's primarily a news site, so maybe it won't be blocked?

I'll give it a whirl.  My work stinks and blocks everything, it is ridiculous.

Woooo!!!!!  It works!  So excited!  Holy cripes that is a lot of traffic!

I have a stupid chest cold today and had to stay home which means I am losing a days pay - and that ticks me off royally.  My contract runs through March 25th (my bday, coincidentally) and those butt wipes in Washington seem determined to send us into sequestration which means no contract renewal without an extreme act of God or the Comptroller.  I am the newest and most dispensable contractor right now so I have been saving everything since Christmas "just in case."

We were hoping for a contract renewal so DH could quit his current retirement job.  The hours have taken over our life and the pay is freaking peanuts.  We gotta get him out of there.

And, that, Ladies is my Tuesday morning crabby whine fest.  I think I need a wine fest later...

Maggie, hope you find a way to see your Ravens parade.

I am def going to get some Downy Wrinkle Release. I wasnt sure if it worked at all, but I guess it doesnt hurt to try.

I agree, Tuesday DOES suck. My woe today is that the vet called tgis morning and said our cat will probably need one more night of hospitalization becuase she isn.t eating on her own yet. This will cost well over an extra 100 dollar. Wth, why not, it's all pretend money we don't have anyway. boo

Hiya Stage!  Welcome back, missed you yesterday!

Oh I love the washcloth idea. I usually just hit the de-wrinkle cycle but I bet that little trick would be phenomenal for my clothes.

And sorry to hear you're missing the party, Maggie! If the Eagles EVER win a superbowl, I'm so taking a vacation or something. I was cheering for Joe Flacco since he registered at my work and is a local guy.

A radio DJ in Madison, where I use to live, hates Tuesdays. Tuesdays are usually pretty blah for me. My woes for today are pretty lame too. I fear I won't find a venue that we both like and can afford. I often feel like I have to give up my wedding wants so we will be able to afford the wedding my FH wants. Just want to book a venue so the wedding will feel more real and not some dream. I'm feeling pretty blah with FH on a work trip to Cali for the next couple days and when he gets back, his parents will be coming down on their trip to NC to see FBIL and his family.

<div>I think they're mostly in the north east, and they're a "Coffee and Bake shop".  We passed one in NYC and took a picture.  I totally wanted to go in for a Hot Chocolate, my favorite, but it was August and about 40+ degrees.  Way too hot out.  :(</div><div>
