I wear two kinds of socks.

Ankle socks - that don't go above the ankles. I wear them when my feet are cold, or with my tennis shoes.
Knee socks - because they're fashionable, and when I don't feel like wearing hose or tights during winter they keep my legs warm.

I don't have very much in the way of heels or clothes. I basically wear the same stuff each week.

ALTHOUGH, once I get this bonus for being smarter, I'll be SHOPPPPPINNNNNG!

Went to work.  Came home.

Needed Officer Roscoe at one of the Dollar General stores.  When I got there the manager was on the phone with the cops, some guy had just shoplifted something.  Some dude that had been with him was still in the store buying stuff.  The manager tried to get him to stay and wait for the cops to get there, but he got all hateful and left.  A cop came and took a report or whatever.

I wear socks.  And thanks to my wife buying me shoes- she seems to be in love with the shoe, no matter who in the family they are for- I have more than I ever wear. I have work boots (daily), Cowboy boots ( old and beat up, and usually worn in conjunction with my overalls),good tennis shoes, work tennis shoes, two or three pairs of black dress shoes, a pair of brown Doc Martins ( I think that's what they are called) , and a pair of flipflops to wear to the mailbox.
Out of those, I wear the work boots and cowboy boot, and occasionaly the tennis shoes. And of course the church shoes.
If you ever catch me further than my driveway in flipflops, you will know I have either been kidnapped or am dead. For years, although I never heard it taught that they were wrong and am sure they are not, I always looked on guys wearing flipflops or "Jesus sandals" as being kinda light in the loafers.  Weird, yes, I know. I don't know if it was something Daddy said when I was a kid, or maybe just a personal conviction....at any rate, I am extremely uncomfortable wearing any of the sort, so I don't. My weird sharing for the day. 

[Chseeads]

All your sharing is weird, every day. 

[Roscoe]

All your sharing is weird, every day. 

Perhaps, my dear Cheese, you are so abnormal that what is actually normal SEEMS weird to you. Ever think of that?

Wing-tipped loafers, I'm sure.

Morning

It's Friday

[kkay]

Been feeling a little down since last night. Hoping it's just a phase.

But it's Friday And I'm going to my mama's house this weekend.

[Heather]

I don't have to be back at work til Tuesday! Thank ya Jesus!!!

Actually with moving I took a long weekend so I won't lose my last vacation day and we can do more cleanup around this place. Plus Brandon took most of it off and I'm taking him to church with me on Sunday. He hasn't been to a sunday service yet.

I'm gonna rent Whiskey [my dog] out as an exterminator. I woke up to 2 dead mice this morning. We're out in the country and it's getting cold. I'm sure you know what happens if you've been there.

Hope you all have a marvelous day!!!

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Good job, Whiskey.  When I read it on facebook, I was thinking you were trying to give away your cat.

[Lynx]

Here it's spiders who try to come in out of the cold.  Big ones, what my mother calls wolf spiders.  I don't think they're really dangerous, but when you get up at night to use the bathroom and one skitters across right in front of you it can make it hard to go back to sleep. 

At work for some reason it's crickets.  Every late fall I keep seeing crickets on the factory floor. 

[kkay]

We don't have big spiders - just the regular annoying ones. Biggest one we had was on the outside window. It was maybe 2 inches.

I miss Christmas when I was little. We always had some guy (I'm guessing my mom knew him) dress up as Santa and bring us extra presents. I never found out who he was. He came for at least 5 Christmases.

[Heather]

The cats are not out here yet. There is still one bedroom that looks like it could be on an episode of Hoarders. I don't know what's in there and don't trust my cats not to get in there and into something. The dogs can't hide and get through places so easily. Plus if my cats went anywhere other than to live with me, I'd take them to Mel's 

[Lynx]

Besides, unless the cats are familiar with their surroundings (particularly where the litter box is,) they might LEAVE something in all that mess instead of getting into something.  And you'd probably be weeks trying to find it by smell.

I guess we're kinda lucky even though we live in the sticks. Our house was built in the eighties, but it was by an old couple who really paid for quality. with the slab founsation, double pane windows and storm doors and brick and siding exterior, we don't have problems with things coming in- except ants.  For some reason a couple times a year I have to spray for ants.

While we never did the whole Santa thing- my mama didn't feel it was right to teach children a lie....her feelings and it didn't hurt me. We don't teach Chey there is a Santa either, she knows it's daddy and mama that works for those gifts. I DID kinda fudge a bit on the whole lie thing recently. We'd been having a battle getting her to brush her teeth, so when she lost her first tooth I had her hide it for the tooth fairy and left her a two dollar bill with a note from the tooth fairy telling her that she had to brush her teeth after every meal if she wanted to get that kinda reward. Greedy little brat ain't missed a brushing since. 

But back to the point- yeah, I miss Christmas Past. And Thanksgivings.... I've said it before-since Mama went in the nursing home, holidays ain't the same.

And finally in my daily book o' sharing- I dropped Chey off at school, got my newspaper and harrassed/invited the clerk to church again, and went by the butcher shop. I've got some nice porkchops in the crockpot , covered in a brown mushroom gravy for dinner tonight. And if I get this house clean in time I will make some more fresh cinnamon rolls just to be sweet and perfect that recipe. Yes, I am being a househusband today. It is dreary and slightly overcast and I don't feel like doing much.
My list for the weekend is to change the sparkplugs in Lou's car and change rusty's taillight. I ain't just overloaded. 

[Melody]

LOL @ Roscoe!  People get riled up about the Santa bit, seems so simple to me.  My kids knew about the pretending of it all and thought it was cute but were always uncomfortable going along with it for other kids.  Our "just us" family Christmases are precious and full of gratitude.  Kids didn't miss out on anything and I kinda feel like they really got more in the long run for it.

wolf spiders eat brown recluse spiders, Isaac.  That's the worst spider we have here. 

And as soon as it cooled down up here, a few mice found a way into our house.  *shudder*  I am so glad to be moved!  None at the new place and we're like 3 min. away.  I think it's just an old house thing.

Grocery and errand day.  Hooray. lol 

I'm so ready for Thanksgiving.  I have half a mind to just swipe a turkey leg and go in another room to eat it to my heart's content... lol

Welp, NOT to get political or start a conversation, but I just ordered the book Obamacare survival guide on Amazon in hopes to make sense out of that complexity.

Nothing new here. Just popping in again. Kinda fun here.
