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.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I didn't count before I started ... may need to go store soon.
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!

not your mom's socks.
Sure. I believe you had no idea before you started. Hm.
I didn't bc I had zero plan when I started except socks pretty PT bad.
Your mother apparently contacted my mother about getting together.
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.

Chile? That's awesome! What part(s) are you going to?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It is too warm for socktober here.
Ha -- I rely on knee socks for just this kind of way-too-warm October weather, when it's really too warm to wear pants every day (plus, let's be honest, several of my pre-baby pants still don't quite fit yet), but I flat-out refuse to shave my legs again. So, skirts and knee socks it is!
Can I say how good it was to see Lee and shrift? They are the first Buffistas to visit me in Melbourne (I did catch up with meara in Sydney lo these many years back), and the first to meet Biyi and Ryan.
Yay for intercontinental Buffista meetups! I'm so glad you all got to see each other. I have dreams of going back to Melbourne one day (where I hung out with Angus, back in 2003!), and would be thrilled to see you and your lovely family if I ever do make it back there.
Happy birthday, Calli and Burrell!

I wonder if anyone in this meeting would notice if I skipped out to take a shower.

What part(s) are you going to?
So far, no plans except to fly in/out of Santiago since the DH has work meetings there after we are done vacationing for a week. Tix were cheapish, so we booked, and now we have to figure it out.

In loving socktober from a distance, but personally I'm clinging to my flip-flops a little while longer.
