I was ironing my father’s clothes yesterday and the iron was acting up. The auto-off thing keeps kicking in when it shouldn’t be. It’s a good safety feature to have but the iron isn’t supposed to turn off until left standing for 8 minutes. Sometimes, I’m plugging it in and having the auto-off kick in within a couple of minutes, while I’m still waiting for it to heat. What the hell?! -_-X It’s been doing this for several weeks and I’m not amused since I only bought this one a bit more than a year ago. (I got it when I was working on my red Ayame and everything broke down. -_-) Plus, it’s a Rowenta iron that I got for about $50-$55 so it wasn’t cheap. Some of my needlework friends had recommended the brand and I had really liked this iron, too, so I’m annoyed it seems to be breaking down so quickly. >_<

So, what irons do the rest of you use and how do you like them? I tend to use a lot of brocades, satins, and fancy fabrics for costumes so I really want to avoid dripping irons and might have to consider replacing the current one if it keeps being so annoying. With the auto-off, I sometimes have to shake it so hard to get it going again that some of the water spills out. Plus, it seems to be leaking a bit, too.

In other news, I should be seeing Sunday in the Park with George next week. Just bought my ticket. Yay for Playbill discounts!

Off to continue plowing through a mountain of paperwork…
