(Iron count, now I have 4.)
All in all, no fabrics were harmed. Nothing reeks of garlic or cat food. No, the boxes wern't marked :-( ; it was all a surprise to me. At least I have dinner and clean clothes to wear tomorrow.

This is so funny, but I just read your post to my DH and he said it all made perfect sense to him. The fabric makes perfect packing material for those more precious items like green beans, beer and cat toys, etc.

You might be right. My older daughter, who is very smart, used to screw up any household task I asked her to do. She knew how to do every one of the things I asked her, but she didn't want to do any of them. So she always screwed up.
I called it 'planned incompetence'. She figured if she did something wrong often enough, eventually I would stop asking her to do it.
She really didn't know her mother very well...the word stubborn was invented for me. Of course, I use the word 'persistent' to describe me.[/quote]
"Planned Incompetence" I love it! that describes an assistant I had a several years ago--she didn't last very long. LOL
