Socks, Socks, Socks-I Love Socks

I started packing today.  I have been putting it off for a couple of reasons.  The first being I don't know where I am going next.  It didn't seem like the best idea to throw the majority of my things into a couple of trunks and send them on a month long journey home when I may need them before that.  The second is that I was having trouble deciding what would go and what would stay.  A lot of trouble.

Today I bit the bullet and started packing it up.  I discovered, that it was easier to make decisions about what would stay and what would go than I had anticipated.  More important to this post than that was the fact that I have over 40 pairs of socks.  Over 40.  I am not quite sure how that happened.  I have dress socks, wool socks, long athletic socks, short athletic socks, funny socks, cute socks, colorful socks, etc.  The icing on the cake is that I primarily only wear one style because of the boots I wear here.  My current boots are a lot lower than my winter/waterproof pair, so I haven't needed to switch it up at all since March.  Oddly enough, I only have one sock that has lost it's better half.   One out of over 40.  Not bad, especially considering I know for a fact that I had a sock get lost for a couple of weeks.  I don't know how, but it turned up in a clean laundry bag 2 weeks after I noticed it missing.  A small miracle perhaps-it was one of my favorites.  It does seem to be a bit much considering the size of my room.  And, I know I didn't pack that many when I first came.  So, at some point I threw a bunch of socks in boxes and had them shipped.  Good grief.  Now you know.  I am a lover of socks.  M.

These are so heavy it is a good thing I am shipping most of them
