Something about an empty hamper and fresh vacuum tracks in carpet that fills my heart with happy. </p> <p>Lazy: my haircuts - I’ll go months in a messy bun if it gets me out of a haircut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031650 Fri, 31 May 2019 22:14:44 +0000 Belladogga 2031650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fussy: about ironing. &nbsp;I quite enjoy ironing once I start doing it and&nbsp;I must iron woven items before wearing them.<br />Lazy: about ironing. I've relaxed my standards on how crisp an ironed item must be. After living for six months after a hurricane with a portable generator as our only power source I accept that, in the grand scheme of things, the precision and sharpness of a crease really doesn't matter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031645 Fri, 31 May 2019 21:50:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2031645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lazy: nearly everything except my actual paid work?<br /> Hairstyle: lazy: wash, comb and go.<br /> Ironing: lazy, got the board out for the first time since we moved in here 6 months ago, to iron 3 things for the vintage consignment shop.<br /> Bag: lazy, use the same handbag until very battered and then donate it, buy another and do the same.<br /> Polishing shoes: nope. Guiltily wondering about donating the fringed black boots with 88 wears instead of bothering polishing them...<br /> Fussy: removing stains and mending. Somehow wearing stained clothing or clothing with holes makes me feel poor which I don’t like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031625 Fri, 31 May 2019 20:59:35 +0000 LaPed 2031625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, definitely the buttons. I've been known to snip all the buttons off a jacket and make it "open-front" instead of sewing back the one that fell off!</p> <p>Hemming pants is another one... I always say I should just do it myself. But my sewing table got turned into a "home improvement" table, which shows you where my priorities lie. In my defence, there are only two professional tailors within a forty-minute radius of my house, and they both get so backed up this time of year (weddings, proms, graduations) that even if I did want to pay someone to do it for me, I probably wouldn't get my stuff back 'til August.</p> <p>I'm good about taking things to consignment, but the donation bags just sit and sit. I need a monetary incentive apparently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031564 Fri, 31 May 2019 18:30:16 +0000 anchie 2031564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could be lazy just about everything except can’t stand when things are not organized and everything is not in its correct place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031553 Fri, 31 May 2019 18:12:14 +0000 bella 2031553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sitting here and literally eating my words. Yesterday, I spilled coffee on my new white denim jacket (its first wearing out!) Oh the horror! I washed it once and it didn't come out clean, I washed a second time with bleach, still not clean. Of course, I can't just throw a&nbsp; brand new and beloved denim jacket in the thrash. So I spent a fair bit of time brushing out each stain with bleach. It does look pretty clean. But I also came to realize that with a casual white jacket, I should increase my stain tolerance threshold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031533 Fri, 31 May 2019 17:01:42 +0000 Gretchen 2031533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lazy - Ironing. Updating sleepwear/loungewear<br />Fussy - Purging, and (lately) folding - I want my shelves to make me happy when I see them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also.... Fussy about my work environment - can't have too many papers or things lying around. Lazy about my creative environment - lots of extra thread, material, etc all over in case I need it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031468 Fri, 31 May 2019 12:52:18 +0000 celia 2031468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I could write a book on the things I am 'lazy' about. To be honest once I am in the middle of doing something (work, projects, rehearsals) I have a bit of tunnel vision and don't see anything else around . Which I don't worry much about because once I move task I also devote my full attention to that.<br />The great exception are stains. I can't stand to have stains. My mother tells me that I am like that since I was a child. She says that if I had a stain I would barely enter the house before stripping out of the offending item. I don't recall that, and thankfully don't do it anymore :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031463 Fri, 31 May 2019 12:35:16 +0000 April 2031463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my -- this is such fun to read.&nbsp; Shevia, if your hair is the result of laziness then bring on the lazy, please.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>ST -- I too am extremely fussy about leg shaving.&nbsp; I can't bear the feel of even one day's prickly growth, whether I'm leaving home or not.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031408 Fri, 31 May 2019 03:38:14 +0000 anne 2031408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do airdry my clothes but I'd say apart from that I'm tending towards lazy all the way!</p> <p>I don't mind ironing when I do it in my work building facility when it's all set up with a good iron and a board - it's the getting it out that's part of the hassle.</p> <p>Same with mending - getting out the sewing machine, finding an extension cord, re-threading with new thread - all significant detractors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness/page/2#post-2031392 Fri, 31 May 2019 01:47:11 +0000 Jaime 2031392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lazy - ironing, going to the tailor<br />Fussy - washing delicates, hanging to dry<br />Lazy - hairstyle<br />Fussy - skin care</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031342 Thu, 30 May 2019 22:41:34 +0000 Anonymous 2031342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww Kyle! And lots of dead toys in my house too-probably under furniture. </p> <p>Dh says I'm the most disciplined person he knows. Utter rubbish! </p> <p>Lazy-my yard, it needs profe$$ional intervention :p<br /> Ironing- I'm the toss in the dryer with a wet rag sort.<br /> Paperwork-I procrastinate it.<br /> Everything when I'm super busy, or its cold, or I'm unmotivated...</p> <p>Fussy-getting everything "back to zero" on Sundays: house tidied, week of outfits made up, laundry, cooking, etc, etc. Lint (cause animals) I lint roll obsessively! Calorie tracking-its a royal pain but so is replacing clothes. Makeup-essential when leaving the house. Shower and leg shaving-essential even when not leaving the house! Hair-has to be tamed into submission, especially with humidity (then panic that I left the flat iron plugged in when I go out). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031341 Thu, 30 May 2019 22:35:38 +0000 Peri 2031341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lazy about: Bags. I buy one about every 5 years or even less often and carry that one daily until I can't stand it any more or it looks awful. The can't stand it takes longer because I'm lazy about caring about my purse. (That said, it's time now and I want a new one.)</p> <p>Fussy about: Jewelry. I want all of it, think hard about putting it with outfits, sometimes decide what jewelry I want to wear and then make the clothes choice match that instead of the other way around, and want to wear different pieces every day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031329 Thu, 30 May 2019 21:50:55 +0000 Angie 2031329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>April</b>, you crack me up.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kyle,</b> LOVE THAT PIC.

I haven’t even put the vacuum away before they take them all out again. And one of them likes to “kill” them, so there are bits of fluff all over the place, too.

My winter shoes badly need polish, and as we are having endless winter, they cont8nue to get a Loy of wear.</p> <p>I’m not sure it is lazy as much as frugal! But workout and loungewear are the rattiest things - frayed necks, Compression shorts! 3 sizes too big, etc. I mostly work out at home and the fam doesn’t judge (out loud). I’m in awe of those of you with coordinated capsules of these.</p> <p>I have OCD issues with stains/spots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031243 Thu, 30 May 2019 14:54:07 +0000 Janet 2031243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I’m right there with you! LOL I straighten the pillows on our sofa, and one (or more) of the dogs immediately goes and pushes them around until the pillows are on the floor. Too funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031236 Thu, 30 May 2019 14:43:59 +0000 Anonymous 2031236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lazy about polishing shoes. I used to not be and blame it on additional step that has been added since we moved. It wanting to get polish on white carpets and not moving any rags, I need to find a designated cloth or towel to lay down under the shoes I am working on. My polish box also needs to be very handy so I don’t need a step stool to get it.<br /> Fussy- pilling and laundry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031235 Thu, 30 May 2019 14:41:54 +0000 Angie 2031235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread is making me smile :)</p> <p>I'm fussy, controlling, and anal about just about everything. It's stress relieving for me, and a mental coping strategy. I straighten cushions and pillows Sam jumps on all day long......*SIGH*.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/annals-of-laziness#post-2031233 Thu, 30 May 2019 14:37:00 +0000 Suz 2031233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fussy: Crisply ironed woven items.&nbsp;<br />Lazy: Ironing. &nbsp; (Like Janet, I don't mind doing it when I'm doing it, it just takes me forever to decide to do it and put it in my schedule!)&nbsp;</p> <p>Fussy: hemmed items, items all in good working order.&nbsp;<br />Lazy: scheduling time to take clothes to seamstress and repair person.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for lint -- in my case that is such a lost cause, I don't even notice it any more. My main neutral is navy; my cat is creamy off-white. You can imagine.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
