The Hat

I am not a "hat person". I don't look good in hats. But a year and a half ago I bought a straw sun hat that would help keep the sun from my eyes (migraines) and the off my face (pre-cancer spots). I tried on zillions of hats and finally found one that I would actually wear consistently, however it was found at Nordstroms. You know where this is leading...it was way to expensive.

This hat is a joke in my family. The boys-mostly Jay- tease me all the time with comments like, "Mom, don't forget your hat" as we are leaving a restaurant or something. He has even hidden it, and then asked, "Mom, where's your hat?" I HAVE misplaced it before, so the jokes are somewhat fair.

I wore the hat all the time and even took it with me on the Australian trip! Well, it began to rip as some stitching came loose along the brim. Oh, I was crushed! But what to do? When we returned, I hopped in the car and drove to the mall, of course!

Well, thankfully I had purchased it on my Nordstrom credit card, because they looked it up and said, "Oh, this hat should have lasted you a lifetime." Well, the long and short of it is, I have a brand spanking new hat! No wonder I love to save up and shop there.
