SOCKS!!!


 Last week, during one of my crazy solo dance parties (after having just watched Dancing With the Stars, I might add) I decided I needed to know WHY those dancers wear the silliest looking outfits during rehearsal.  So, I put on some spandex, a tank top and loose shirt, pulled my hair up into a monstrous looking bun, and went to the sock drawer.  At this precise moment, I realized 1. I really should clean out my sock drawer and 2. I have some pretty wicked socks!  I grabbed a pair of toe socks and rocked out.  I've never danced so well before.  Really.  The crazy outfits DO work!  They make you feel like, "Whatever.  I already look like an idiot, so I might as well let it ALL go!"   After my (awesome) dance party, I went back to the sock drawer and marveled at the collection of socks I have.  So . . . I need to tell a story . . .

I have this pretty cool mom.  To add to her coolness, she has this knack for finding "one-of-a-kind" things (not meaning no one else has heard of them, meaning you're the only one who has THAT one).  Whether it be apartment decorations, jewelry, luggage tags, cupcake baking holder thingys, and clothes.  You name it, she's found it.  She really has a knack for finding cute socks.  Growing up in my house, every holiday that Hallmark has a card for, my mom always had little goodies for us when we woke up that day.  9 times out of 10, amongst those goodies were a pair of socks.  They almost always corresponded with the holiday we were "celebrating."  Over the years, I've never gotten rid of a pair of socks (unless they were involuntarily lost, which, we all know they do that).  So, here's a blog, dedicated to my favorite socks.  Thanks mom!  You're the best.
