Sunflower favorite

So, it looks like sunflower picture # 3 got the most votes, closely followed by # 1. Thanks to all of you who voted. It helps amuse me and amusing me helps pass this bed rest time.

And, thank you to the brave souls who signed up as "followers" of my blog. I know there are more of you... don't be shy! I'm thinking of having a contest, possibly involving everyone who is signed up as a follower, by a certain date....hmm, have to think on that some more. It would include everyone already signed up of course. Maybe even extra chances in the drawing for those who sign up BEFORE the contest is announced.... I'm sneaky that way.

Hidden Treasure Blog Awards

Go on over to Everyday Mommy, and read this post. Don't stay too long... I'll miss you! This new blog award contest is a great idea! Don't be shy, nominate your favorites. Just kidding. (or not! Ha!)

And the Winner Is.....

I said I would pick a winner today for the funniest/most unusual place you ever found a sock contest. Easier said than done! They are all such great stories! Many thanks to all of you who were brave enough to share your funny stories!

I have decided to award a tie for first place. Why, because I couldn't choose between these two! The winners are:
Kim C. and the sock in the frig
and
Anonymous and the sneaky "shoulder pad" sock

Honorable Mention goes to:
MamaK's story of her "friend" who put her own mismatched sock pile into MamaK's without her knowing! Too funny!

You will all have to read through the comments section below the sock story contest to read all the entries. Really, they are all great!

By the way, the picture above is mine. It was staged, really. I just put it in for fun.

Sock Funnies

It is time to have some fun with this all so serious topic of laundry! Just this morning I found a sock in a snow boot that had been hiding out in our snow boot box in the garage since Jan. 2nd! (note the duct tape around the boot - this was DH solution to worn out velcro closures! Mighty effective, till you want to take them off! LOL!)

Socks are such sneaky creatures, I thought it would be fun to hear your stories of the funniest/most unusual place you ever found a sock. Post them in the comment box below. Get them posted soon and on March 17th I will pick my favorite one and post it on the blog.
