I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

not your mom's socks.

Happy birthday, Calli! Happy birthday, Burrell! (I missed board birthdays so much).

Amy, I want you to come adventuring downtown, maybe in December when Javachick is back?

I started doing socktober because my back, left knee & right hip have gone all crazypants & annoying (thank you childhood orthopediacs Drs. Jeckyll & Hyde) and I needed something to look at during PT that would cheer me up, but about 1 day into it, I realized it could be useful too... so every time I post socks, I set aside a new pair to go to the shelter. A couple of other people are doing it also, so hopefully it will help with winter coming (supposedly).

I need to make it 9 more days. I've got my Halloween socks already, and I have today's and tomorrow's. I am hoping Atomic sells socks :D.

Happy birthday, ladies!!

The socktober situation is getting a little dire. I didn't count before I started ... may need to go store soon.

If you get to town early enough Thursday I have some recommendations of places in my neighborhood you can check out.

I wish I could join you for sock hunting but I have meetings all afternoon. :( Kiss n Makeup has awesome novelty socks. Ma Petite Shoe has fun and serious socks. And Milagro has some beautiful fashionable options. All on the Ave.

Because books.

hippocampus, I really do need to come adventuring downtown. I haven't explored Philly at all, and it's shameful.

Sure. I believe you had no idea before you started. Hm.

Your mother apparently contacted my mother about getting together. I suggested Turkey Day, since I know you go elsewhere, and this year we will be in Chile.

Which reminds me - meara? Vortex? Any place we should try to go in Chile with a 7 year old?

Happy Birthday Calli! Happy Birthday Burrell!

I didn't bc I had zero plan when I started except socks pretty PT bad.

My mother did more than that, I am taking away her facebook so she cannot stalk weddings any more. ARGHHH.

This is a cunning plan.
