[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so do you work
[speaker001:] yes uh-huh yeah I do work um
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] and but I work at a manufacturing plant so I wear a lot of blue jeans and T-shirts
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah yeah and buying suits and stuff yeah because just being at home and I work at home so
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] worry about all that kind of stuff
[speaker001:] well I have plenty of suits and dress clothes because I'm like you when I first started working um
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I have all these suits and blouses and skirts and mix and match and that kind of stuff
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh-huh when you're training right yeah
[speaker001:] than your normal garb but I'm like you too uh I moved from Ohio down to here
[speaker002:] uh-huh moved somewhere I mean
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right right
[speaker002:] the seasons are just so much different you have so much summer
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] that's true that's true
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] well I know I was just now um uh putting away a lot of my winter clothes
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and I was going through here and I was thinking I haven't worn this in three years
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah you hate to get rid of it because you know how much you spent on them
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and it's real hard to get rid of some of that stuff I know
[speaker001:] I know I agree with you
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] well I know last year uh well this past winter it wasn't that cold
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh-huh clothes yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] that's really interesting
[speaker002:] yeah yeah and I I just don't spend you know right now my clothes come from Target you know
[speaker001:] yes yes yes and they're all one hundred percent cotton and
[speaker002:] yes and they you take them out of the drier and they're wadded up in a ball
[speaker001:] yes yes I know so I uh I have my ironing board sitting out all the time I never put mine away
[speaker002:] oh I'm so glad to meet somebody that that their iron board is their permanent fixture in their house
[speaker001:] it is it is
[speaker002:] you know I have very little furniture but my ironing board is part of my decor so
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] it's just an eyesore I think with all the
[speaker002:] well yeah it is it is but it's like uh I just don't want to do it
[speaker001:] hum-um hum-um no I've been thinking about putting the ironing board in the closet
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah that's an idea oh yeah
[speaker001:] yeah so I have a big closet
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] I iron our clothes as we go along so you know
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] right no uh-huh uh-huh  uh-huh you can't iron it all and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] changes her mind two or three times before she figures out what she's going to wear so
[speaker001:] right right oh I know I know
[speaker002:] and then they never put anything back
[speaker001:] no no of course not no that uh that would be too simple
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] absolutely not
[speaker002:] that's called too easy on mom
[speaker001:] that's right
[speaker002:] our lot in life is to make her life miserable so
[speaker001:] uh-huh absolutely absolutely
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah he wouldn't know where to put things so yeah so
[speaker001:] oh well it was nice talking with you
[speaker002:] oh it was nice talking with you too
[speaker001:] okay take care uh-huh bye-bye
[speaker002:] take care bye-bye
