The three little kittens lost their mittens . . .

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Yeah, so I manged to lose my new wool hat somewhere in my travels today (which for my rockstar lifestyle entails: apartment, subway,work, subway, apartment). This marks the third time in about 4 weeks I lost a hat, scarf, or gloves for no apparent reason. It’s getting to the point that I should just buy them in bulk from Costco. I can put a hat dispenser near my front door and just wear each one until I lose it.

Or maybe I need to start pinning them to my jacket with directions to my house, like a developmentally-challenged child. At this point, theseĀ  are my only options. The life-span of a hat in my possession is about 2 weeks and dropping.

I thought I hit a low point three weeks ago when I managed to accidentally leave my scarf in Burlington Coat Factory while coat shopping (it was too cold and I was too lazy to go back and get it). And I didn’t even buy a coat! So my net output for my shopping trip was negative-1 scarf. Although I do wonder what happened to the scarf. Do you think they tried to re-sell it? Burlington Coat Factory does sell random items it buys in bulk from other stores, and it’s the kind of place that could have one of something. I like to think the mimimum-wage stockboy wandered around in confusion for about 45 minutes trying to figure out what to do with the scarf, then just hid it somewhere so he didn’t have to deal with it (and this will go on and on for eternity).
