I have a warm hat.
This morning I got out of bed, went into my closet, took out my ghetto-skater wool skull cap and pulled it down over my head and I was in heaven.
But having such a warm hat has started to make me wonder if this hat is warm because it was made to be warm or because it is the only skull-cap wool hat I have ever worn and I do not know any different. Are there other warm skull-cap hats out there that are warmer? Am I living a false life thinking that my warm hat is the warmest hat out there?

This week’s “Words For Your Enjoyment” brings us a quirky little idea from WFME friend Charm, who wonders aloud just what’s the deal with people continuing to wear fanny packs.
Sadly — the fanny pack phenom started in the 80’s when kangaroos became the most popular animal on the face of the Earth, as reported by National Geographic. For some reason, it was the combination of Paul Hogan’s “Put another shrimp on the barbie” Australian Tourist Commercials combined with these Shrinky-Dinks that introduced fuzzy kangaroo animal packs. Between the two, people suddenly started saying things like:
Man, I wish I could be like a kangaroo!
If only there was a way to look even more fashionally-retarded!

Let it be said, I have thought of framing my INXS concert t-shirt.
But then, just like a torrential downpour being shoved out of the way by the glistening sunlight and a brand-new day, I too back down on my latest artistic idea.
I remember the days of concert-mayhem as put on by Def Leppard, Poison, U2, INXS, Depeche Mode, David Bowie that was accompanied by overpriced t-shirts with a cool logo on the back, listing each and every current and future stop on the concert-tour bandwagon.

Everyone has baggage.
Some people have baggage from horrible, psycho relationships that cause them to be overly cautious when finding a new person to spend time with. Some people refuse to play board games (it’s true) due to childhood scenarios with overly-competitive family members. And other people (like me) have real baggage when it comes to, yes you guessed it, trying on clothes.
I know I’m not the only one.

I cannot fold a shirt to save my life.
I’m not talking about taking a shirt, laying it down on the bed (face down), and slowly and methodically pushing one arm over, then the other, then lifting the bottom up to the middle and the neck line down over that. That’s folding for sissies.
I’m talking about those people who used to work in THE GAP and BANANA REPUBLIC and ABERCROMBIE & FITCH and can pick up a shirt, in mid-air, flip this and flip that and lay it back down on a table in the most awesome-ist, perfect shape ever. These people are my Gods.
