hello snow

When the snow and bitter temperatures make an appearance, so does my Louisiana Tech beanie. I bought this thing years ago to attend one of the football games. This particular game was being played in the elements and the elements were cold. Looking back, the temperature was probably 40 degrees or something but nonetheless still cold to this southern blood. Little did I know that future Amanda, the Amanda living in Indianapolis, would justifiably need the beanie to keep the heat from escaping her head.

Ben came home and said, “Nice hat. You know it’s on inside out, right?!”

Whatever Ben. Just mind your own business and dinner will be on the table soon. For the record, I purposely wore that beanie inside out. Duh.

The beanie stayed on my head all night long. It was warm and cozy and I didn’t want to take it off. Ben continued to make a few sly remarks, but in the words of Puff Daddy “Can’t nobody hold me down.” He offered me one last piece of advice – “Maybe you should get a hat that forms to your head better and doesn’t have the pointy thing on the end. That’s what makes the hat look funny.” I proceeded to argue with him, “the beanie does form to my head.” I even gave a demonstration by pulling the beanie down and rolling up the ends. After several maneuvers I stood in defeat. Alas, the beanie wasn’t truly form-fitting.

I might take his advice into consideration. I think I like this one.
