I may have to find a job after the holidays unless the real estate market picks up... alot. My husband is great, God is Good, I am Blessed.<BR/>Warmly,<BR/>DebGARAGE SALE GALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196934302729907272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-52172612069865115982008-11-12T22:39:00.000-07:002008-11-12T22:39:00.000-07:00My goodness dear, who knew you would wax so rhapso...My goodness dear, who knew you would wax so rhapsodic about the WORST CHORE IN THE WORLD!<BR/><BR/>But you're right -- I do love the fragrance of ironing with starch.

I wish I had your passion for it. I do the ironing and I like everything to be ironed properly. I just don't enjoy doing it.<BR/>If you get time, pop on over I'm having a 100th post giveaway.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>KerryanneKerryanne @ Shabby Art Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092818124651152546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-52513055486822752012008-11-12T16:23:00.000-07:002008-11-12T16:23:00.000-07:00OK Connie I LOVE being at home but I'm drawing the...OK Connie I LOVE being at home but I'm drawing the line at ever saying I enjoy any part of ironing....hate it.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273462493495795568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-13880610872830822522008-11-12T13:58:00.000-07:002008-11-12T13:58:00.000-07:00Hey Connie, This is a great post...I hope the mom...Hey Connie, <BR/>This is a great post...I hope the mom you mentioned does find her passion. I know she will. I too love being at home and taking care of everything.... I'd have to say that finding trash and making it into treasure is one of my many passions....and yard sales are my passion too...yes, really! You know I love those yard sales, that's where I find all the trash LOL! I also love finding out more about antiques and collectibles in my many books that I have. BTW...I love your iron with the robin's egg blue...now it doesn't get any better than that honey!<BR/>xoxo,<BR/>QueenieChristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640761348681987412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-41979611316481762932008-11-12T07:53:00.000-07:002008-11-12T07:53:00.000-07:00I have so many passions but the housework of any k...I have so many passions but the housework of any kind is not one...

I understand exatly what you mean about ironing. I sometimes think that ironing is a lost art. Two of my daughters and many friends do not iron. When my daughters' children stay with me overnight on a school night, I love to iron their school clothes. If any grandchild leaves clothing at our house, I iron it. It just gives me a good feeling to see the finished product. I really enjoyed your post. Please keep them coming.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>SweetieSweetiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216509812299330017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-20433294249298957712008-11-12T07:01:00.000-07:002008-11-12T07:01:00.000-07:00My room-mate at BYU loved to iron.

Usually the toilets get the brunt of that nonsense.<BR/><BR/>Finding passion? What do you think I try to do nowadays? I understand your friends "I don't know" attitude. Next year all Farmers will be in school and I'll have six whole hours to 'myself' everyday they're away. My goal is not to wait until they've officially flown the coop. <BR/><BR/>Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it. Passion doesn't come easy for me! lol<BR/><BR/>~StaceyStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09938175478051352864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-62948977661506316992008-11-12T05:44:00.000-07:002008-11-12T05:44:00.000-07:00Nice reading Connie.

But...that will all change. She needs to be open to finding out what makes her light up!!!<BR/><BR/>My passions are decorating and making our home a refuge...that's soft, cozy and romantic...AND...cooking, baking and entertaining friends for dinner or TEA.<BR/><BR/>~Blessings,<BR/>JanGonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928460355403104172noreply@blogger.com
