I need a valet

Did I mention that I didn't get any socks for Christmas? I really wanted some since my dryer seems to be particularly hungry for them lately (and oddly, it never seems to gain weight!) and it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to wear one green one and one blue one if I want both my feet decently covered.

Even if it wasn't winter I can't wear sandals to work--I have too much respect for my little toesies to expose them to the dangers of hot oil or suicidal projector parts. Plus, I think there's probably some law about naked feet in places that serve "food" since there seems to be some law about everything.

Now I have to go see if I can find a navy and a black sock that might be mistaken for a pair--as long as my legs aren't next to each other...

Here you go, sweet Susie - one violet. Actually it's a bunch of violets.

I don't see how that's going to help you with your socks though.

I got socks for Christmas, but they're argyle, and somewhat annoying. You're not supposed to get angry at the sight of your socks, but that's the predicament I've found myself in. I hope my dryer eats them.

Now I'm picturing your legs being not next to each other.

Just tell everybody your middle name's Dobby.

Take Stephen Wright's suggestion. When someone asks why your socks are different colors, tell them that you match yours by thickness.

Maybe you should put up a tip jar and label it "Susie Needs a New Pair of Socks." I'd donate to that!
