Random Thoughts IX (The first 8 were probably better)

What makes a sock worth that much?

I don't know. I buy the 6 pair for $10 bucks. Kids buy individual pairs. Mostly decorated. One has school mascots, another is American flag with bald eagles over it. Cheap socks for them are $10-12 per pair. I have three kids and may have a grand in socks it seems.

Tied going into the 4th.

That is in way better shape than the lifeboat I have in the garage from the Lusitania.

Lusitania? I have the book,man. Actually has my dads name inside the cover but bet it was my grandfathers because copyright is 1914 which was before my dad was born. It's an interesting perspective since it was published BEFORE WWI even ended.

Lost. ..

Yeah, don't want to go by that. Doctors told me that I couldn't impregnate my wife. I have 3 kids.

Edit: one is the spitting image of me so he's not deniable.

I always assumed they told you that because you were a woman. Well, we learn something new every day.

Edit: My kids are all way better looking than me so I prefer to assume that is because my wife is way better looking than me.

It was a great game, back and forth. Only lost by 7. We needed to recover an onside kick at the end to have a chance to tie it. I have never seen such a great passing team. We just couldn't stop the big passes and yards after catch. I think the interception in the end zone at the end of the first half cost us.

Anyway, basketball starts next week with 2 games on back to back days.

This is awesome.

Also, 8 o'clock? Just pop open another bottle of wine. No. Change that. Bring that bottle for me to Xcel tomorrow for the volleyball finals. The teenage daughter is going with the boyfriend's family instead of us. Yes, we'll see her there and I do like the boyfriend and his family, but, still.

Also, lots of tall women! Sure, most of them are about 50 years younger than you (Mrs. JCylonee excepted), but I could really use that wine.

I wait for Target to have that 6 for $10 deal, too. Somehow, my wife is a wizard at finding deals on the Nike Elite socks. Sure, they're not 6 for $10 but she manages to get the price to about 6 or 7 dollars each.

I stole one of Dh's milkway's from Halloween and they are only OK.

The wine was a little celebration (hopefully not premature) of feeling a little better. Haven't slept in over three weeks because of internal pain/discomfort. After weeks of anti-inflammatories and another week of strong antibiotics I only woke up three times last night rather then waking every hour.. Woot woot!

I'm tepidly liking this. What hurts? Also, I like to use the word tepid.

Oldest 2 have game socks, practice socks, everyday socks. It's crazy. Oldest wore certain socks for varsity a different pair for JV even. He had a red/pink pair so his mom knew when he was in for varsity. Then 4-5 other kids started wearing similar ones.

 

[cowgirl836]

I wear white ankle socks with ankle boots. cause that's all I have. I should order some dark socks.

You need to buy new socks for every game.

Everyone in a room strikes a pose and freezes like a mannequin in a store and someone tapes it.

Don't tell my kids they might.

Doesn't wearing ankle socks with ankle boots hurt your ankles?

FYI - I had to look up what ankle boots were.
