2 Hats Are Better Than 1

Diamond-point X-mas Bow Tie o’ the Day is simple, yet festive. It’s a practical choice for wearing around the house all day, which is exactly what I did. Bow Tie isn’t flashy and it’s not bigly. Even if Skitter is the only person— yes, she’s a person— who lays eyes on it, it improves my mood to dress up for my day of whatever it is I do with my days. And I, myself, am worth dressing snappy for. I don’t have to leave the house to be worthy of a bow tie.

I’m also wearing Hat o’ the Day inside, to warm the shaved side of my head. It is my latest hat acquisition. Suzanne brought it home from the office last week, but Suzanne does not wear hats. We made it a law. Hats do not work on her, and she knows it. They make her look like she’s in a funhouse mirror which warps the shape and size of her head’s reflection. It isn’t pretty. I, of course, benefit from the No-Hats-For-Suzanne Law by immediately inheriting any hat that comes her way.

I had to search my Christmas prop box for my tiny red-and-green teeny hat. My Spock ear was extra cold this afternoon, and my new beanie alone just wasn’t cutting it. Soon after I gave my pointy ear its own Hat o’ the Spock Ear, it warmed right up with the rest of my head.

It’s kinda fun to have a Spock ear. And I still think it’s my sexiest feature.

A Cry For Help

In the cartoon, Linus’ baby blue blanket around the base of Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree gave it the love it needed to become its best tree-self. Around our house, Chuck Brown’s X-mas tree thrives by being wrapped in Tie o’ the Day’s rendition of the famous tree.

Skitter and I are especially hoping this tree photo will nudge Suzanne into getting our “real” fake Christmas tree into the house. She has said absolutely nothing about a tree this year, and the tree is her assignment. Skitter and I hope this post will remind her we’re on the countdown to Christmas Day, and we’d like the bling of a decked out tree ASAP. Hint, hint.
