Huh. Sears lets you pay with Paypal. Way cool. That's a pretty big contract.

Matching Christmas jammies is definitely a fantasy of my mother's. We've never actually pulled it off.
I am totally following my agenda for today! I was out of the house by noon, having done a load of laundry, and now I am home doing my nails by 2, as planned! Unfortunately, I only got two presents, but I did get a real (table-top) tree, so that's nice. I think I'll do better shopping in Harvard Square tomorrow. My local independent book store is almost impossible to shop in, due to also being a cafe and being small and cramped and not having a great selection of the kind of stuff I want to buy (ie, mysteries). And the rest of the stores in my neighborhood are too upscale for me.....
I have friends who get pjs for Christmas every year. Even now as adults. The tradition is that they open their pjs on Christmas Eve and wear the new pjs for a family stairstep picture. (Don't know that they still do the photo.)
Anyway, after my fall that was due to my overlarge slippers, I've taken to wearing my zori around the house despite the cold. This has me thinking that handkit tabi style socks would be a very good thing. Despite finding toed socks generally more amusing than useful. (And I've never knit gloves - I really wouldn't wouldn't want to knit five toed socks - but mitteny tabi socks wouldn't be a problem.)

We did it when we were little. And one year my grandmother got me, my sister, and my mom matching A-line terrycloth robes in pastel colors. My brother put one on and we took a picture of us 3 kids from the back - he was the only one with long hair.
Sumi, I'm seen scads of tabi-sock patterns available online for free. I was thinking of making myself a pair, as the most comfortable shoes I have for wearing around the house for the combined neuroma/plantar fascitis issue are orthopedic flip flops. They're comfy, but they're effing cold.
Exactly.
We could have a tabi-sock kal!
Ooh. That sounds delightful. Sumi, are you on Ravelry?
Yes, as sumik.
Friend me!
JZ is in my front room taking pictures of stuff we hope to sell on ebay and Craig's list, which is just awesome.
Less awesome is the fact that she is making me look up stuff about Fluevog shoes online when I am not allowed to buy anything.
Thanks, sumi!
