Esso Si Que Es? (S O C K S)

You know how when you're dating someone you love all their little ticks and their little "twitches" that make them unique from all the other stupid people in the world!?

For example... you start dating John (which I don't know how you could the way he treated his ex is unbelievable... and that hair of his ew... so gross ... anyway) so you dated John and after a week (I still don't know how you made it that long) you noticed that every time he makes a point that he finds cool and which makes him feel superior in knowledge... he "slurps". Like he does this quick inhale using only the sides of his mouth doing in intake of air making a slight hissing sound. In sync with the slurping hissing noise he makes he also raises his eyebrows and kind of nods his head to show how superior he is.

As your friend I notice it too but since I'm not all head over heels for him I think this move and hiss feature is a defect. So I tell you about it in a nice way and my hopes are that you too will notice it and think in time his "cute"ness will ware thin and then he'll just be STUPID.....

OMG Poor john I'm sorry I shouldn't be so mean... Moving on.

So - My boyfriend has this thing that I only recently have noticed keeps growing... Sounds dirty right? ... It is!

His use for socks!

The first was on one of my visits to his home area of Washington. He took me to a Thai restaurant in Tacoma and before we headed in... he had to blow his nose... so yes... he reached under his seat in the car and looked around but only found a sock - he blew his nose in it. I of course am not good at being coy and thinking "Oh wow maybe that's just a one time thing I won't comment and make him embarrassed." Oh hell no!

I was like "Um that's sick shit! Did you just BLOW YOUR NOSE in that? Is that a SOCK?!"

He said yes and we both laughed at how gross it was.

On the drive out to move Mike from Washington to Colorado one morning our windows were fogging up and he reached into his bag of extras... grabbed a sock and wiped out the inside window of the U-Haul truck! (Different sock or that could have been messy!)

So I thought WOW this guy is amazing - he has socks not only for his feet - but for tissue - for foggy windows. Of course I gave him a hard time and joked about it.

I thought that would be the last of it because of course it's been a few months now since the socks have made their appearance as anything new. UNTIL NOW!

OK so check this out... Mike took my car in to his work on Saturday to change my oil and fix my tires for me which had one huge screw and then a staple of some kind causing two tires to have slow leaks. Little did I know until we had out family Christmas that he also installed a new face off CD stereo that hooks up to my ipod so I can completely control my ipod from my stereo controls without having the buzzing of the FM transmitter that I used to use.

So the face comes off - (Hence the name face-off right? Duh!) but it didn't come with a case... for the face I mean of course... anyway so Mike says... he says.... "And we'll get you a case to hold the face for the stereo but until then you can STICK IT IN A SOCK when you take it off! Then it won't get scratched or damaged."

He's brilliant. I love him! Did I mention he got the stereo as a complete surprise and I didn't know until I unwrapped the box he tricked me into wrapping (to me, from him?) Hmmmm.
SOCK PUPPETS! YAHHHHH!!!!
