Crazy Sock Lady

-
When I grow up . . . ;) . . . I think I want to be the crazy sock lady.
I thought good and hard about being the crazy earring lady, or the crazy glasses lady.Then I thought about being the crazy red lipstick lady, or the crazy orange skinned lady and decided they weren't just for me. Ooooo - maybe I can be the crazy slipper lady? Or the crazy scarf lady? No. Not right. And I think I'm way too cool to be the crazy sweater lady.

But the crazy sock lady? Yes, I think that fits me. As you know . . . I've got the "crazy" part down . . . now I need the socks.

So, I bought myself about 6 pairs of crazy holiday socks this year (I stumbled upon a REALLY GREAT black Friday sale, and was suckered into the penguins, snowmen and Santa on globe designs.) Since then, I can't get enough. I want more. MORE CRAZY SOCKS. I don't want to stop with snowmen and dancing penguins. NO! I want leprechauns and pots of gold.  I want chickies and Easter eggs. I want peace signs and monkeys and stripes and polka dots and cow patterns and, and, and . . .  more!

Yes . . . I want to be the crazy sock lady.

What kind of lady do you want to be? Leave me a comment . . . I'd love to know.

    First of all - I LOVE crazy socks. I have a pair with scotties on them, shamrocks, peacocks and hearts. Yeah = that's as crazy as I get. ;-)

    I will be the crazy lipstick lady. I LOVE color - and i want to be the woman who people say, "Bless her heart..." ;-)

    Ooh! I used to be crazy sock lady when I worked in the ER at the Childrens hospital I worked for. The kids would get a kick out of my zany feet...although I'm pretty sure after 12 hours walking in them they didn't smell so good thus the crazy part comes into play.
    I used to score my socks at the dollar store!
    I think that right now, since I am an auditor (back injury long story) I bedazzle my name tag and lanyard. It's full of buttons or flare if you will ;)

    Seriously, don't you just love crazy socks! My mom is the queen of crazy socks! I love to wear them for preschool in all their seasons!

    Welcome to the crazy sock club! My mother would be so proud!

    My mom is the crazy earring lady so I definitely can not do that. I like hats so maybe...I have to agree on the sock thing though. I have a lot of fun socks and they are addicting. I am a teacher so I figure that's good excuse:)

    I love crazy socks too!! Especially Halloween ones. If it's orange it's mine! Yours are too cute. I have to say I'm the crazy scarf lady. I love wrapping myself in all sorts of fun cozy fabrics and if I could I would seriously be the crazy cat lady!

    good luck with that - the "crazy sock lady" would be even crazier if she didn't wear any socks...Thinking outside the box. That rocks.

    Hello from the lady bloggers' tea-party

    I'm the crazy nail polish lady, with everything from black to green to orange to silver and gold, and even sparkles to throw on top of it all! And when I can't decide which color to choose -- which is most of the time -- I'll wear two at a time, alternating fingernails ....

    Being the crazy sock lady is so much fun! I got a bunch of holiday socks specifically because I know the girls think it's cool to see me wear them.

    love the socks! I'm well on my way to becoming a crazy sock lady, too. I have socks with puppies, socks with stars, stripes, polka dots, duckies. An assortment of socks with cows and sadly, many more. I even have some of those toe socks. Sigh.

    I'll probably be the crazy rat lady though, because I have almost as many rats as I do socks (we're up to 7 now....)

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
