Socks

It has to be said...

I figured out why I love summer so much, besides the obvious; warm weather, beaches, flip flops, shorts, tank tops, sunshine, vitamin D, hot sultry days sipping iced tea with my feet up because I am simply too hot to want to move...

What it really comes down to is that I don't have to wear socks!

I HATE them!

Now, I know, some of you out there may be saying to yourself, "hate is a very strong word"  Yeah, it is, and it has muscles when it comes to my feelings about socks!

Let me break this down. All summer, I spend so much time trying to keep my feet looking nice and pretty, painting my toes fun colors, (sometimes spending a little too long in the polish section because I can't decide which colors I like best). Sometimes I even decorate my toes with rings, and it's fun!

We pay other people to pamper and spoil our toes, even giving them the pleasure of painting them for us. Hmph!

Right now, as I type this, I am barefoot and I love it, even though my toes are freezing.

I HATE socks.

A few reason's, and I know I am not alone in this. The dryer eats my socks, they don't come out in pairs, folded and ready to put away neatly in my drawer, my cat is playing tricks on me and has a secret stash of them somewhere inside my house or there is a sock thief in the neighborhood. Believe it or not!


I have a pair of Vibram Five Finger shoes, and I love them!  I feel more connected to the earth, but best of all... I don't have to wear socks with them! :O)   This makes me so happy!

Now, I just need to find some Five Finger rain boots, and winter boots.

I mean come on! all summer long, and now I have to hide my toes, with mismatched socks because I can never, never find their mates... Im holding out as long as I can. If you should ever see me with different socks on, you will know why.

Thanks for coming by. :O)

I just had to get this off my chest.
