I just found a great way to use my ironing board. I've been trying to find a place to use my laptop and have been having trouble. The dining room table is too high, the coffee table too low. I can't sit on the bed with my legs crossed like Carrie Bradshaw - the legs just won't cooperate. I was ironing some shirts for my husband today, (only because he bought new ones) I ended up blowing a fuse because the A/C is on so I stopped.

Well, guess what? You can lower this thing to just about wherever you want it. The heck with the shirts. I'm online instead. If you notice a lot of typos, it's because I can't see the print on the laptop as well.

Louisa, you're so funny. Great idea. ALl you have to do is drape a pretty fabric over it and voila...a new piece of functioning furniture.

My ironing board (I wish I didn't have one) also adjusts. I bet we could use it for other things too. Hmm, my son and his friends play poker like crazy people. Maybe I could set them up around the ironing board at their preferred level. Too funny!

Okay, let's go....
