One-sock wonder

Late in the week, my friend Aneesha and I met for one of our quarterly dinner/shopping dates - our last one of the year and the perfect opportunity to present her with her Christmas gift.

And even though I was the one who set the date weeks before, I completely forgot about until I was snugged down in bed the night before. As a result, when I got up in the morning, I scrambled to get it all packaged up amid my usual morning rush.

I am not at my best in the morning, so I try to get as much ready the night before - much less chance for disasters... such as this one

That, my friends, is just one sock.... amidst my morning flurry, I must have dropped the other one before I got it in the bag... and totally didn't notice. (In my defense, socks don't make much noise when they hit the floor.)

Of course, Aneesha is a fantastic sport, and she thought the whole thing was hilarious... and just another reason for us to get together sooner, rather than later. Though I think I need to whip up something extra for giving her just half a gift....
