Shoes and Sox

We've been asked to show our favorite shoes.  These aren't my favorite shoes.  They're my only shoes.  I live in a retirement home that is being remodeled, and I'm assigned to a temporary room.  These are the only shoes I have with me. I hope I don't step in a puddle.

I notice that my socks don't match.  That's okay, they rarely do.  I have a wooden leg, so I don't bother to change the right sock until it wears out.  It is a matter of convenience taking precedence over fashion.  A pair of socks lasts me twice as long as other folks.  Until the fashion police catch me, I will limp along unmatched.  Hah.

Hey, I caught your entry from Scalzi's page and thought you should know that mismatched socks are now the cutting edge of fashion.  There's a company starting up that is selling socks in packages of 1, 3 or 5, all guaranteed to be mismatched.  You can be the most fashion forward person you know, despite one pair of shoes!

I have only about two pairs of shoes that I wear on a regular basis.  
That is so funny that you wear two different socks!  
I am really enjoying your journal! -Krissy
