Hats.

Had lunch with [livejournal.com profile] cimmerianwillow today, when we found that there's a sure-fire way to get noticed, and possibly flirted with, when one goes out in public: wear a hat. Hats get noticed, especially when one is female.

Our waiter at Applebees quite liked our hats, and proceded to flirt with us throughout the meal. He said he rarely saw girls wear hats, and wondered if we were in a club or gang or something, then seemed amused when Willow informed him no, we just had a hat fetish. He was cute, too.

One of the divers at the aquarium flirted with me too, when I was wearing the same hat.



This shall be my lucky hat now, I think.

I have nothing else of interest to say, really. For the past two weeks at work, we've been giving the TCAP (the TN state assessment test), which my boss and I had to read aloud for the special ed kids, and it's worn me out. My poor brain is dead. *mourns for the brain* Good thing we get Easter break next week.

Oh good LORD, the TCAP. I hated that test. Every year, another week of insult to pretty much everyone's intelligence. Bleh. Although come to think of it, I got a whole lot of extra-curricular reading done that week during the times between each portion of the test, so perhaps it wasn't all bad.

*mourns for your brain as well*

You're getting spring break on Easter week? Nashville started doing it in March four years ago, I think, after another Easter that was in mid-April, three weeks before school got out. Yeah, that was useless. ;)

Oh yes, me too. This is a horrid test, and it hasn't gotten any better through this year's revision of it. Some of the questions (ok, a lot of the questions) are just terrible. Horribly done, IMO. I'm very glad it's over.

We've actually already had our Spring Break, but we get Friday and Monday at Easter as well. I think they're moving Spring Break to around Easter next year, though.

I'm so glad that I have almost no memory of what was actually on the test, just of the books I read after each section.

Ooooh... Nice. Wish my college would do that. But we don't even get public holidays (Labor Day, MLK Day, etc.) off. Sigh.

Nice hat...

It's different which is probably why the guys are noticing.

Hmmmm maybe I'll go out wearing my SU hat and see what happens, probably nothing, I've worn it out a few times.

In this case, then, different is good :) I love hats. People should wear more hats.

Glad the hat's working for ya! It reminds me of how my mother used to yell at me when I was a teen/20-something about my hat-wearing habit. I don't think she was really anti-hat -- it was just an excuse for abuse LOL. Shrug.

Gotta watch out for those flirty waiters. On my first date with my husband, the gay waiter was really after him. It was freakin' hilarious.

You mean she yelled at you for wearing hats instead of for setting things on fire? Strange :)

Hee. I didn't mind, since I'm single and all. Willow's got a girlfriend, so really, all the better for me.
