    ( Kathy - My DIL gave me a small Singer Ironer/ steam press for Christmas. I wasn't sure what I'd do with it but as it turned out I LOVE it ! I've become very adept at steam pressing almost everything, clothing included. And my pillocases are perfection ! )

    Killer Cupcakes - Leighann Dobbs

    ( iron socks......that is very very OCD isn't it? I knew a girl in college who ironed everything as well and had to hang her clothes EXACTLY one inch apart in the closet, all shirts where grouped according to sleeve length with the sleeve of one overlapping exactly the shirt next to it and so forth. Between classes, her coat had to be on a hanger and buttoned all the way. Her dresser drawers were textbook OCD as well. Fascinating to see but impossible to understand....especially in college where slobbery is a high art ! )

    (Wow, Bon - can you imagine having to live like that? I don't think people with OCD tendencies can just decide to be sloppy. I know a lady whose hanger color has to match the clothing color.)
