History of my Blankey!

Last night I was thinking how jacked up , torn and tattered my big purple comforter is that lays on my bed. Then it came to me, OMGosh, I have a "Blankey"!! It really is my "comforter", there is some serious history with this thing.

So here it is, history of my Blankey:

2000- parents tired of me using old quilts, was given to me as Christmas Gift
2000- Didn't have sleeping bag used for camping out
2000- traveled to my new home LA with me, especially when I was homeless sleeping in my car.
2001- Moved back to Omaha, used for bedding and on occasional picnics
2003- Slept in a tent all summer as a camp counselor in Park City, UT
2004- Took it camping to Canada with me
2005- Had a home but no bed, so I slept on it( on the floor of my SLC ,UT bedroom)
2006- Moved back to Omaha, had no bed but did have a couch...and my Blankey :)
2007- Bought an expensive new Comforter. IT SUCKS! So I go back to Blankey!
2008- Blankey gets ripped during a move to my new home
2009- Blankey accompanies me overseas to England and Prague
2010- Near its death, Blankey is clean and stain free, but is shredding to pieces ,with loss of cotton bits.

Essentially, that Blankey speaks volumes about my life in the last decade too. hahaha
