Pink hats, Ponchos and being Presidential

Prelude to this "P" post - last week, at the doctor's office I tested false-positive for pregnancy. Something of a rarity from what I gather. Let's review, I am 56 years old, had a tubal ligation at age 35, and have not had a visit from Aunt Flo for over 5 years. None of my internet searches found that combination noted anywhere!

Course, the nurse asked the usual question, "When was the date of your last period?" Really? I can't remember the year, let alone the month of that event.

I said, "You can't be serious (laughing hysterically at this point), it is not possible." Serious face nurse did not crack a smile. Apparently, it IS possible. She said, "Maybe it was something you ate." Internet search again - found nothing about food elevating your HCG levels.

By week's end, my curiosity had gotten the better of me and I bought an in-home preggers test. Two tests came in the packet, Friday's results - negative, Sunday morning results - inconclusive. Follow up doctor appointment yesterday - another false positive. Stay tuned for 56 and pregnant possibility results.



Returning to our regular show - I am glad I kept this pink poncho, it almost went back into the Great Thrift Shop Beyond. The Gene Doris was a $2 thrift shop find from last month.

Ponchos were brought in from the fashion darkness by none other than Martha Stewart.  A few years back, Ms. Stewart did some jail time for insider trading or something like that. What hit the news was one of her fellow inmates crocheted her a poncho martha-stewarts-poncho the-new-fashion-trend.

Presidential campaign paraphernalia is also considered collectible Americana.  Save those buttons, stickers and posters!

Update to post - polyps, not preggers, polyps on my gall bladder are causing the nausea.
Do you possess any pink hats, ponchos or presidential ephemera?
