this is why we can't be friends: which one of these is not like the other?

I'm anal...errrr ummm... detail oriented. But Andy takes it to a whole new RIDICULOUS level:

This is Andy laying out all of his socks...

Then meticulously inspecting and matching them up so the "right" exactly the same pair of white socks get paired together.

You wouldn't even believe me if I told you how much time is spent on this.

oh wait, there's more. The above matching method is for white socks only.

Wool socks get special treatment. They are "marked" so that he KNOWS FOR SURE which sock goes with which.

This pair each has a black line on it...

I was told that this pair didn't need to be marked because you can look at the heels and according to Andy, "you can tell that they are friends"...

These are wool sock liners, also privy to the "special treatment"...the one of the right has a faded red dot, the one on the left, 2 black lines...


Okay, so I knew about the anal laying out the socks matching thing...but I just found out about the wool sock coding system last night...although apparently it started when we lived in Estes Park.


Andy, this is why we can't be friends..

Wordizzle from Baby J: cold feet

Word to the wint-ah, yo.

It is fa-rizzling.

Unsizzle Andrizzle went deer hunting this weekend...when he got back he had feet that were shiverizzling.

I saw him trying to warm up his feet and thought,

"what a great idizzle!"

fancy brights

Last night I found this box of vintage "Fancy Brights" (BEST NAME FOR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS EVER!!) in my basement.


(salvaged from the cleaning out of my grandparents' house)

I love these old lights with the plastic flower things on them! But the best thing about them is the plethora of instructions on the box....

especially the how to hang lights on a tree part...which said you should hang them

"like women dress."

I'll give you some time to mull that over...provide any guess as to what that means, before showing you the instructions.
