I wouldn't have guessed had you asked my opinion 10, 5, or even 1 year ago, but today I find myself thinking that, yes, the world --especially my world -- has been in much need of red, white, and blue basket weave for far too long. It may not ever be the perfect pair of … Continue reading Woven To Perfection

I put these on this morning because it was dark and Monday and I was tired and they matched what I was wearing...even as monochromatic as they are. Looking at them now, though, I'm struck by the angled pattern of the stripes. Pretty sure I've worn a similar pair before, but seeing them on my … Continue reading Venom-less Variations

Sunday calls for doughnuts. I wasn't about to let it down. And now I want a cruller.

As it turns out, I had yet another pair of Valentine's Day socks hiding in my sock drawer. That might have been somewhat inconvenient if not for the fact that Middle Son had another archery tournament today, making a pair of anything with arrows suddenly quite appropriate.

Sure, I could have gotten a pair of socks with actually maple leaves … Continue reading Oh, Canada!

Having done all that, I came to realize this afternoon that the splash of Limon Green at the … Continue reading Argyle Verbena, Private Eye

I got to make up for yesterday's somewhat more restrained "approved for customers" stripes with the wacky jigsaw pieces I'd been waiting for. And now we have definitive proof that Tuesday > Monday.

Had to visit a customer site today. While they doesn't specifically call for lame socks, it does kind of require something on the more respectable side of the fence. These black striped puppies rep'd me just fine, even though I was dying to wear a pair of wacky jigsaw pieces or something. Which just goes … Continue reading Work Dictates
