"pride goes before the fall"

In an attempt to update you on the mundane happenings of our home, there is something I must confess. I have lost a sock.

Ever since we got married, I have been priding myself on not being one of 'those people' who can't keep track of their sock pairs. "I mean really!", I used to think, "There are only two of them, and you have to wear both of them and if you wash both of them, how hard can it be to put them both back in your sock drawer again---Right?" Also a house is finite. There are a limited number of places the missing sock can be. So, if you loose a sock, then just FIND it! Socks don't dematerialize!

As in all things, this sad little single sock sitting on top of our dresser illustrates very clearly that I am one of "those poeple" and pride does indeed go before a fall!
