Me and My SuperFantastico Ribbons

They are so special to me that i even named my blog after one of them. Currently, i have exactly 43, each a little longer than a foot. Now, I'm sure you're all asking why i have so many ribbons. Well, I bite my nails profusely, and so having a ribbon to twirl in my fingers helps. My ribbons always match my outfit because none of them are the same. I don't have any particular order that I use them, with the exception that i carry the same ribbon every Wednesday. Just on the 17th, Bones (a friend) asked why I had a ribbon and I said, 'Because it's Wednesday,' and he didn't get it, but it's easier to answer that question on Wednesdays than any other day. Just in case you want to know, today i am carrying a strawberry red velvet ribbon that was in fact my first ribbon. Now you're all wondering how I got the idea to carry around ribbons to break my habit. Well, I used to know a girl who when she was a baby liked tags because they were soft. Then she discovered ribbons and had like, six shoeboxes full of them. (my collection is nothing next to hers.) So I used her idea and IT TOTALLY WORKED! (so far, knock on wood) So, that's why my blog is called Red Checkered Ribbons. (Tomorrow, I'll explain why it's green)
