Are Hats The New Umbrella?

mlerulesI used to have a horrid habit of losing umbrellas. Every few months another one'd be gone. I clearly remember thinking "of course" when glancing in the just-then-slowly pulling out train at Victoria Station in London, only to see my lonely umbrella sitting on the seat. Another one gone. I sighed, unsurprised.
I'd thought that my umbrella luck had turned recently though. There's a nice colorful collapsible one my aunt 'n' uncle'd brought back from Hong Kong years ago that I kept (and used) for ages. Sure, I haven't seen it in a few months now, but I haven't given up hope yet. It's still classified as "misplaced."
But now I wonder whassup w/me and hats. Last w'end, I managed to put down and LOSE my keep-my-head-warm had it for YEARS grey & white & black hat in Ross. I went back and searched for it, fruitlessly, as did the oh-so-kind![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lightfoote. It's just a hat. WhatEVER.
We trotted off to REI and I got a new one. And I liked it. And I'd begun bonding w/it - it keeps my head warmer than the last one, actually, and goes w/my fave scarves. Then I went out to see Burn After Reading night before last...and that's the last I saw of it, despite keeping it on my knees, thinking specifically of taking care so it didn't get lost. Just got off the phone w/the guy at the theater who'll look around the call me if'n he spots it. I'm not holding my breath though.
I'm right now wearing the Best Hat Ever, the multi-coloured made-with-love one byebony_sphynx a couple years back (which matching scarf I managed to Umbrella-Away sometime last year). It's raining. It's also sunny. Kittenheads're purring close-by. I've got things 'n' stuff on the ToDo list to cross off, including both a PDX drop-off and later on a pick-up.
Life smiles. I smile back. My head's warm. Long may the hats last!
