ISO the perfect winter hat [never-to-be-finished draft]

the theme for my preschoolers this week was HATS! (only so much that 2 yr olds can talk about hats, but whatever.) i mention this now because i had already written most of the next paragraph before realizing that i must have hats on the brain thanks to my little yippers. that made me smile. imagine that--thinking about my job made me smile! back to the post already in progress...

why is it so hard to find the perfect winter hat for my head/hair combination? the hat that i rock best is the cadet-style hat, a head-topper that reminds most of humankind of some pretty unsavory characters, as it was unfortunately popularized by fidel castro and then several hollywood tramps. then again, that style might be cute, but it isn't exactly the warmest thing in the world.

who has got a hat for this girl? my head & ears are cold!
