Some of you have noticed that I tend to wear a particular shirt quite a lot…a particular old shirt to be specific.  Lest you all think that I’m just an old shirt wearing bum (cause we wouldn’t want that now would we) let me explain.  World: this is Old Faithful…Old Faithful: this is the World.  I’ll give you a minute to get acquainted.

 

  

 

 

 

There…now we’re all friends.  OF, as we’ll call him from now on, came to me a long, long time ago.  It’s from a cheerleading competition that my team didn’t even end up going to.  Darlene, being the awesome cheerleading mom that she was, went and bought us all a shirt from the competition anyway (I think that’s along the same lines of buying me a tiara that I didn’t win in a pageant…but that’s another story for another day).

OF didn’t really stand out to me on our first encounter.  Just another shirt.  Although, I’ve always loved long sleeved t-shirts more than short sleeved t-shirts…so there was a little favoritism.  I went all through high school without really getting to know OF very well.  He was always there, but I didn’t give him much thought. 

The years passed by.  I went off to college and moved into an apartment with 3  wonderful friends…two of which I cheered with in high school.  Eventually we began to notice that we all wore OF a lot.  We reminisced about the first time we met OF…the time we went to chick-fil-a in OF…that day that so and so broke up with us and we had on OF.  We realized that OF had been there for us through thick and thin….that no one loved us like OF did…that OF was indeed old faithful.  So that’s what we started calling him…old faithful…like a good dog who’s always there for you…but in the form of a shirt. 

Somewhere along the line I wound up with two OFs.  I don’t know how that happened, but I’m not giving the second one up until I get my I’m A Winner shirt back (again…’nother story…’nother day).

OF continues to be my fav.  He was there at the birth of my niece.

 

 

 

 

 

and more recently at the pregame show before the spewing of my guts.

 

 

 

 

 

He makes the rounds with Katie too.

KQ, Amanda and others also have an OF…like I said it’s a great shirt. 

So if next time you see me I’m wearing a ratted out shirt from 1998 please excuse…I’m just hanging out with my bff, Old Faithful.
