10 Minutes - steam press dress
25 Minutes - wash car
25 Minutes - Flat iron hair in Posh Spice approximation
Leave house looking like a million bucks.
Sit in car. Ruin dress.
Drive to work in light rain. Ruin car.
Walk to door of work in high humidity. Ruin hair.
Why, why, why did I buy a linen dress?
Stop Me Before I Shop Again!
Oh, wait, it was on sale.

Have you learned NOTHING from our Shopping forays??! How many times did you watch me turn down FABULOUS pants and skirts simply because of that evil word "linen"??? I can see you so clearly in my mind's eye, the wrinkles!!!! the wrinkles!!! (And my younger, slimmer Girlfriend, I am not even being catty and referring to anything OTHER than that dress!!!) Do the "Squeeze Test" next time: Love the garment? Grasp it on your fist, squeeze it as though it were a half a lemon over your Baked Cod; release. If it stays wrinkled, that is the way it's going to look the minute you put the iron away.... forever after.....
The car: You must grow out of the Black, Dear. Silver is much more forgiving.
And your hair? Certainly you must know how your hair acts by now... Besides, anyone who has grown up with fine, American Indian-straight hair would give a pair of Prada shoes to have naturally curly, wavy, bodified hair!!!! ENJOY!
Besides, you only spent 25 minutes on the car? You're either just spit-shining it, or you really have it down to an efficient science.....Louise
