i have some great pals.
when i posted pictures of how pathetic my sock situation was, none of them actually made fun of me. not a single one of them (including my mom) took me aside and lectured, “for the love of christ! you are over 30 years old! i think you can make it to the store and buy yourself your own goddam socks. you’ve got arms and legs and means of transportation! get thee to a sockery!”
nay, instead my pals rose to the occassion and bought me some socks. and books. and a recycled bag made from baby seals. and book shelves. and money to go toward a chiminea. but mostly socks:
SOCKAPALOOZA!
there were even more socks than that, but i had already worn them and they were in the dirty clothes basket.
and also, my very first THEMED CHESS SET.
Transformers! (Fergie, you go first.) the cats were VERY interested in the chess.
i know, right? great friends.
asking for socks was a great idea, plus, they’re cheaper than booze so we all win.
the food was great as well. jambalaya, hotdogs, Adult Pizza Rolls, cheese grits, dips, a giant cookie, Clark bar cake (dad totally found clark bars at the hardware store.), crackerjack, and booze.
we also watched (“watched”) the World Series game 1. Phillies are up by one. it’s a shame no one cares.
hee.

Ummmmm, whats a Clark bar cake and where can I get some????
it’s actually a Butterfinger cake, and i was looking online for a recipe link, but all the one’s i found were slightly more complicated than the one mom makes, and let me say, the one mom makes is THE BOMB.
it’s a chocolate cake (a mix) and for the icing the first part is cream cheese and vanilla pudding mixed together. then on top of that there’s cool whip. and then on top of that crunched up butterfingers.
word.
it was the best cake ever! your party was the coolest and i had so much fun…i even forgot the kids had school the next day!
