orange and maroon effect day

Yesterday, I was reading Are We There Yet?and found out that Friday is Orange and Maroon Effect Day. I commented there about my lack of orange and maroon outfits. Kim jumped in and said that to make up for the lack of orange and maroon clothes, she would go to the crafts store and get orange and maroon ribbons.

We have spent the afternoon putting together orange and maroon ribbons that we will hand out at the JJB dinner Friday evening.

I then went out to find out who else is doing what with orange and maroon effect day. New MexiKen, Salon and Gather, even Microsoft and Free Republic are talking about it.

So, please, wear orange and maroon tomorrow. If you’re going to the JJB dinner, look for Kim and I and we’ll be handing out orange and maroon ribbons.
