One Sock, Two Socks, Red Sock, Blue Socks

Just let me remind you of how often I leave the house. I'm practically homebound...a shut-in I tell you. About 1-2 times I leave these walls. And one of those is usually church. The other is usually a visit to Walgreens for my rebate-frenzy habit.
So imagine my delight when last night I got to travel to THE BIG CITY to do a research study on gum. That's right, I got $60 to chew different kinds of gum for 2.5 hrs. Not only was I being paid to get to chomp like a grazing cow, but I got to do a little magazine catch up between chaws.
All day long I planned my departure, the time, what I'd need to have done by then. Jeff would be literally walking in the door as I walked out. So I had to write notes on when whom ate last & who last pooped, etc.
I even put on a bra & fixed my hair in something other than a ponytail.
I got to talk to OTHER adults...people who are potty trained & didn't yell, "NO!" back to me. I got to go the bathroom alone, without someone watching me & saying, "Hold me Mommy...Where's my cup?"
I did my chewing & my question answering & when the timer went off, I happily collected my cash & went about my way.
BY THE WAY, IT'S FREEZING UP IN THE BIG CITY & THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND!
On my drive home, I didn't have to hear one of Flynn's movies piping from the back of the van... I actually got to listen to the radio & sing to my heart's content.
When I got home, and found the disarray, I procratinated getting the house "Alex-ready" (clean for the 6:30 am arrival of our dear sweet Alex). So, I sat in my chair & checked e-mail. My legs were tired from sitting, so I stretched them out & propped my socked feet up on the arm of the couch.
That's when I saw them....
TWO
DIFFERENT
SOCKS.
One socks was tan the other very brown.
This would only be noticeable you say, to someone sitting there staring at them? You mean, like someone sitting behind me (more like 20 people) chewing gum & killing time... w/ nothing to look at, but other people (& their socks)?
Further reason I shouldn't leave the house more than twice per week.
