Good socks are very important.
Have you given this much consideration? You've probably thought about it more than you realize. ( I was going to say "more than you think," but you can't really think about something more than you think. Its impossible.)
I raided M's sock drawer today and found a wonderfully comfortable pair.
I own woolen socks, which you can't really wear with shoes because they're too thick.
I have striped socks with individual toes. Those can't really be worn either. Although they are very funny. They have pink stripes.
There's socks with holes,
and socks that have lost their better half (can we call them 'divorced'? Maybe there is hope for them to be reunited...which is why I have a drawer full of them. I am a hopeless romantic.)
and socks with that annoying seam across the toes....
My sister, Amanda, use to call that annoying seam by a funny name. She would say that her "limbs" were bothering her, and she would sit down and start adjusting. She meant the seam in her sock and not the end of her leg. She was, like, 3 at the time, and maybe 18 inches tall. I don't know why she called them 'limbs,' but it was very amusing. She named her pacifier when she was little, too. She called it Myrna.
I was talking about socks...
A girlfriend was just yelling at her kid to put on shoes. He was running around outside in his socks, and she was afraid he'd get holes. Darn it! (if you got that joke, I am very proud of you.)
See how often you think of them?
Uncomfortable socks can be so distracting. They can ruin your whole day.
You must wear socks the right thickness and color for your clothes.
They have to be washed and folded, somehow. I hate folding socks!
You see them every day. They are a huge part of your life.
Who knew?
Socks could be the Key to True Happiness.
So, the moral of this story is:
Spend more on socks.

Yeah, I get it.
You know what I hate? It's having to find the matches to socks, sorting them by style, size, brand, and level of wear and tear, and then, figuring out who they belong to. The result is a big bucket of socks in my laundry room.
I like doing laundry, but socks I hate. Unless I'm telling one of my children that it is necessary to wear them with shoes.
Who knew that this blog would draw such a long comment out of me?
I hate wearing socks. My feet get too hot.
I also hate that my husband insists of wearing two pairs of socks at a time every day of his life. When I fold laundry, his pile of socks is always twice as big as everyone elses.
Ridiculous.
If you moved to Florida, you could get rid of socks altogether. I rarely wear socks, but am looking forward to winter so that I can don (is that how you spell it?) the ones I do have.
