I'm one of the suckers

I admit it.

I sit here at my desk at work wearing my new poncho. I bought it this weekend. I have received many many comments about it. Mostly, people have been commenting on how they had one like it 20 years ago. My boss said I was "rockin" it.

Yeah. I went to a craft show Sunday and was walking around buying cute purses and stuff when I spied a table full of afghans. Being an afghan guru myself, I walked over. It was a senior center selling their wares. All the money collected would go towards buying more supplies for their crafting group.

This one sweet woman showed me an afghan she had made, and then she said "I make ponchos too". And then she opened the box. Oh, they were fantastic. All these different slightly psychodelic colors. She admitted to being slightly myopic and color blind. I thought that made them all the better.

So, I bought one. My friend Sheri just looked at me like I was kinda crazy. Mine is different shades of blue and has tons of fringe. I love it!!

I'm rockin the poncho today and will be doing it most of the winter. Look out for me!
