I have some clothes that have needed to be dry cleaned for over a year and I finally took them in.When I went to pick these clothes as well as my winter peacoat up from the cleaners, I was told that the coats were not finished yet, despite their giving me a ticket when I dropped them off that said they would be done two days prior to when I showed up to get them.
Oh, well.
What really bothered me when I got home (Other than the excessive plastic wrap on my clothes - how wasteful and unnecessary!) was the hangers.
I can't stand wire hangers. Perhaps it is due to the fact that I think they look cheap.
More likely it is more due to the fact that I watched and rewatched and rewatched "Mommie Dearest" so many times in my life.
I fear that a woman will come at me and yell at me for putting decent clothes on wire hangers and then make me scrub the bathroom floor with powdered Comet begin thrown all over me after beating me with the bent wire hangers.
I can't even say the words "wire hangers" without screaming out the words of Mommie Dearest at the top of my lungs (well, at least in my head if I am around other people) - NO WIRE HANGERS!!!
I loved that movie.
The siblings and I started calling our mother Mommie Dearest when she would do things we didn't like. It was fabulous until we finally made her watch the movie and she got mad at us for ever calling her by that title.
This week, my goal is to get my 4 year old nephew to call my sister that a few times during my visit.
That and to finish catching up on my blog reading. I barely touched the surface yesterday!
Wish me luck!
I call my mom Mummy Dearest in a fond British manor even though neither of us, or anyone, is. I hope you can get your nephew to do it. That would be a scream!
ReplyDeleteI love that you call her that!! I hope it works with my nephew.
DeleteThat is hilarious! Just last night my husband was saying he wanted to get wire hangers. I'll have him read your post!!
ReplyDeleteShow him the video. Then he may never want wire hangers.
DeleteI always pile up the wire hangers and take them back to the dry cleaner to be reused. They can NOT be in my closet!
ReplyDeleteI need to take these ones back to the dry cleaners ASAP. I don't even want to put them in my closet.
DeleteLOL I hate wire hangers also. AND... the second I read your title I mentally screamed "NO WIRE HANGERS!"
ReplyDeleteSo happy that others have seen that movie!
DeleteSo funny...I thought the same thing when I read your post title..Scared me as a kid watching her scream with the coldcream face and the hangers in hand. I don't use them either as I don't like now they can mark your clothes sometimes. Thanks for starting my day with a chuckle.
ReplyDeleteGlad you feel my pain with the hangers! That cold cream was really frightening!
DeleteI don't like wire hangers either. My clothes keep falling off.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is one scary looking movie!
Good luck on your mission!
Thanks! The movie is quite frightening, especially knowing that it is based on a true story and the daughter has come forward saying it was really accurate.
