Over the weekend

My mom (who rocks and is better than all y'all's moms put together--sorry, the truth hurts) bought me a really cute wool winter hat. It's warm, but it won't smush my hair. And it goes with everything. And it's got little wool flowers on the side.

The only downside to this adorable hat is that I'm terribly allergic to wool. The second it touches my skin, it's an itch-marathon.

I look cute in the hat; I look considerably less cute in the hat when I'm constantly scratching my forehead where the hat doesn't have a hair buffer.

I mentioned this to Mom and she said that I could just sew a little piece of fabric in there to serve as a buffer.

The thought of finding fabric AND a needle and thread (ugh, threading the needle alone!) disheartened me a bit.

Then--EUREKA--the old light bulb went off!

But Mom frowned at the idea of sticking a pantyliner in there, so I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Sigh.
