latest obsession

Last week, mid-morning I became obsessed with the desire to make a sock monkey. I wrote it on my palm in permanent marker at work. Then, since I work at a library I put a hold on a sock monkey book. Then I informed my best friend and co-worker Beth who is afraid of dolls and twins that I was going to make her a conjoined twins sock monkey. She replied she would not accept this gift and so I am going to make a sock monkey that has a mutant sock monkey erupting from its stomach. My daughters thought I meant the mutant creature on Total Recall but I was really thinking about John Hurt on the original the original Alien. Beth who is a bit of a fussy-pot said she would not accept this gift either.
