Crazy Socks

Am I the only one to be creeped out by this picture? I’m no fan of snakes at all but I’m quite fond of snacks and kitties are cute so part of the picture is cute while the other half  is creepy and together they just scream odd so I guess it’s fitting that I put it here among the oddness.

So I’m a girl that wears socks daily like I would imagine pretty much everyone else on the planet but I’m thinking not so many people actually have socks that slide down somehow like someone just reached for my foot to pull the sock down. I went to the store and found my sock slipping down like someone took it and pulled it down like a pantings only with a sock which would be called a socking or socksing. No it would be socking because it only happened with the left foot.

This isn’t the first time but I’m glad that I wasn’t off to the library which is farther away and led to some cuttage on my heel since bare feet in sneakers just don’t work together. Sure there are some shoes that work just fine without socks but sneakers just aren’t one of them. So I have a strange sock that has gone into the laundry which means this is likely going to happen again.

Attacked By!

So I got some new stuff including pajamas after all one really should get new ones when they are inches away from becoming a crotchless pair of bottoms. Oh joy I got some new underwear too since it is always good to have nice undies minus holes for that time when I get hit by a car. How embarrassin would that be to have a hole in them and get hit by a car? So I got some stuff and even managed to take care of some Christmas shopping at the same time. Since the items were in a package I of course went to open them since I can’t just will them to come out of the bag. When I was opening the bag of underwear I got scratched which means my underwear scratched me which I found amusing and maybe you will too.

You might just think what kind of screwball gets scratched by underwear. Ok it wasn’t the actual underwear but the packaging that did the actual scratching. It’s not like the underwear sprouted claws and reached out to scratch me because they didn’t want to be touched by my hands. They just lay there while the other stuff did the job for them. Maybe it was a security system gone wrong. I was able to crack it and pull out the items without suffering too much. It didn’t even leave a mark or draw one drop of blood.

Dropped It

Filed under:oddness — posted by bardgirl on November 24, 2007 @ 4:58 pmEdit This

So I admit that I sometimes drop things which includes food and sometimes the spilling of a drink but we’ve all done something like that at one time or other. Come on admit it even if you admit it only to yourself. I would think it’s impossible to go through life without some spilling or dropping. So yes I dropped something which tends to lead to that should I or shouldn’t I follow the five or ten second rule. That’s very tricky when something falls face down like pizza. I’m sure many have dropped a cookie or something and have picked it up especially if no one is around to see it. Come on admit it at least to yourself.

So I was having graham crackers with chocolate frosting spread on them minus the marshmellows but still yummy. I spread it on and of course it broke which often happens. Maybe I have a lead hand but that’s not the odd part. I dropped a piece which isn’t so unusual since I’m no stranger to dropping things but this time it was different. It didn’t fall on the floor face down which has happened before. It’s not like I can dip the cracker into the frosting container like you can with a Hershey’s bar and the peanut butter.

Now I have a ottoman with metal legs or whatever the hell you call them which is where the cracker landed when it fell and it just stuck there. Yes I had a dangling cracker that was sticking by the frosting. I’m guessing not many people can brag about having that happen.

Lost It Where?

So this is odd which is why I’m putting this here since this will be my odd blog of things that have happened to me. First I’ll start off with something that just happened the other day. I went out to the garage where there’s an extra fridge where there’s water and soda. I was just grabbing some and my ring slid off. Yes I lost my ring in the fridge. I’m pretty sure that I’m one of a very slow number of people who have had this happen. I could even be the only one.

People drop things in various places but I could very well be the first to do this. I knew it fell in the fridge because I heard the dingy sound it made so I knew it didn’t fall on the floor of the garage which would have made a different sound. It was night so I didn’t really look for it too hard but it was found the next day which is good. The great thing about losing your ring in the fridge is the not having to get out any tools to do something tool like that you’d have to do if the ring fell down the sink. I wonder if anyone’s ever dropped a ring in the toilet. No that hasn’t happened to me at least not yet.
