I love the poncho pic, too. That's another item that I will love forever!!<br /><br />Shhh...you mustn't tell, for fear someone will steal my idea, but I have a little notebook where I keep random creative ideas. Last year I decided to write a children's book called The Secret Life of Socks. You see, for all of us, young and old, it's a mystery as to where they go!! I can't divulge the answer, but don't feel bad. They're quite ingenious with their schemes. :-) <br /><br />HAVE A FABULOUS DAY AND GIVE EVERYONE A HUGE HUG FOR ME!!!Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-85584166787942599022013-04-10T06:34:59.272-07:002013-04-10T06:34:59.272-07:00I too couldn't give a shit about cleaning.

Yesterday I swept the floors and did the dishes. OMG I also did two loads of washing and changed two beds. I spent the day in my pyjamas and turned the phones off. That's it for me for the week. Twenty-two socks? Aaaaah well, I have long given up stressing about such heinosities. You look WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too glamorous to worry about housework. Don't you know by now the most boooooooooooring people on the planet have spotless houses? Course you do! I'll have you know that when I get a knock on the front door I cannot hide because it's a fecking seven-metre wall of glass!!!!!!! It's taught me not to care;) I will be thinking of you and the poncho pals honey!! xoxoxoPull Your Socks Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14147274267016718793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-38919838614585460062013-04-10T02:09:56.359-07:002013-04-10T02:09:56.359-07:00I LOVE your dress, beautiful.

It's weird but it makes it seem not quite so boring.<br />And I so agree with you about the unscheduled visitor thing.

They leave their other half here with you to fondly remember them by..of this I am mostly certain. ;) I can't tell you how many times this happens to me..lol<br /><br />Garden photos are lovely.
