I Rearranged My Sock Drawer

In the never ending excitement that is my life, I rearranged my sock drawer this morning. I’ve heard of people doing that — I spent 49 years avoiding it. I didn’t find any 49-year-old socks in there, but I did notice that my taste in socks has changed. No, I’m not going with sock garters, I’m not that old yet, but I do like them comfy. And black. Blacker than black. Plus, I want them to go on my feet comfortably. I don’t want to work to put on my socks.

I know rearranging a sock drawer is tough to do. But I did it. To cap off my day, I picked blown trash off of our hill…and wait, it gets better. I followed that up by cutting Snickers the Wonder Dog and Benny J. Cat XXIII’s nails. Yeah, I’m living la vida loca.

My sock drawer (which get's purged whenever I can't get it to shut) is filled with black, thick socks, or white athletic socks. Yes, it's all just black and white.

Damn, we do lead thrilling lives … I know I am going to by a pair of RED socks. You should go for Orange (if your still in your Orange Period). Then we will post pictures of them on our blogs ….

Middle age has sure made me dull.

My sock drawer is in a state of perpetual renewal as some socks seem to run away each week.

Frank, how do you clip Benji the XXIII's nails? Do you give him ice-cream?

@pax I'm heading into my Black-and-White period. Ah, the halcyon days of my Orange Period. Yeah, what thrilling lives, huh? As a topper, I spent the last 9 hours entering accounting data into QuickBooks…what joy.

@rich Funny, I found a few strays. Maybe they're yours.

@jm I trained him to be held upside down. Easy as pie. Then I give him a treat.

Frank, you can always wear mismatched socks if they're close in color, but Judy the mutt took off with one of my gloves. Thankfully winter is over, my hands froze riding the bike to work.
