So, Brandon has this pair of socks- his very favorite socks. They are thin, nylon running socks by Nike. Apparently they make all of his shoes fit perfect without cutting off the circulation and are the perfect ankle heighth. Anyway, we have tried to find more of this same kind of socks without success. Because we only have one pair, I have come to HATE this pair of socks. I always need to wash darks because he wants his one pair of socks washed. And if they don't manage to make it into the load of darks that I do, I get in trouble. And if he can't find them, we have to tear the house apart looking for them. Last night, as I was searching for his blessed socks in the dark, trying not to wake the baby, I mentioned in a whisper that I was starting to hate his socks. Do you know what his suggestion was? He said I should be more persistent in my shopping to find this EXACT kind of sock. Are you SERIOUS??? Now, while I usually love having an excuse to shop, taking three children around Las Vegas searching for a SPECIFIC pair of socks is NOT my idea of fun. So, if any of you out there DO enjoy sock shopping, here is a picture:
I would be happy to even throw in a tip to the shopper who actually finds the sock. And no, no other kind will work-- believe me, I've tried. The various stores at the mall have come to hate me, because I buy socks and then return them several days later.
Okay, I feel better now that I have gotten that off of my chest. Thanks for listening.

It always makes me feel better when someone else's hubby is picky about certain things. Good luck finding the perfect socks.
Is this it?
Sorry, I don't know how to make this a link, try cut and paste.

A lot came up when I searched "mens nylon running socks by Nike." Whenever I don't want to shop for something, I look for it online. Maybe that is the answer. Kudos to the dedicated wife roll that you are playing, I hope you find the right socks and stock up so he'll never be without a clean pair!
Takeshi used to be SO pickey about his socks that he wore. He would have to put his socks on and off about 5 times until he got it right. And he had to have a certain type of sock too! This was when he was 3 years old!! Thank goodness he's not that picky now :)
