I'm really happy with the way this hat turned out. It's so springy and bright! Thanks again for the yarn, Michelle!
Want to know another great thing about spring, besides my amazing hat? It no longer makes me want to rip my face off because of stuffy noses and migraine-y headaches. I have had really bad allergies for the last 2 years after what I thought was a lifetime free pass, and I finally did something about it- I got a neti pot.
In case you don't know about these, this is how you use them:
If you're like me, you will spend 2 years looking at that picture and going EWGROSSNOBADTOOCLOSETOMYBRAINAUGGGHHH, and then avoid thinking about it some more. Also, most people describe the first time as "feeling like I'm drowning."
Seriously, the idea that my sinuses and my brain separated by so little is really hard for me to take. I'm still recovering from learning that the Egyptians removed the brains with a HOOK through the NOSE before preparing bodies for mummification AUUGHHGHHGROSSSSSCHANGESUBJECT-
ANYWAYS, I finally overcame my UNDERSTANDABLE hesitance, and I'm so glad. Hot weather still makes me cranky, but now without a headache along with it. Also, it's less like drowning and more like getting knocked underwater by a huge wave. Not that bad.
So, we went on vacation last week to Montreal and New York, and it was fun, and I fully intended to post about it, but what's the fun in that without pictures? And we have almost no pictures of this trip at all. All pictures fall in following categories:
1. Waiting for the subway.
2. Buildings
3. Watching Dumb and Dumber in the hotel room
4. Damien eating poutine in Montreal.
THAT'S IT. I also look really pissed off in most of them. Or drunk, which was only true about half the time.
Here's one of me, waiting for the subway, only a little bit mad, with maybe one glass of wine under my belt. (PS: NEITHER IS TRUE, MY FACE SUCKS.)
Besides neti pots, I've been really into:
This American Life podcasts. Nothing I can really add that hasn't been said hundred times before, but SO GOOD. This one made me wish I had gone to summer camp.
Doctor Who on Netflix. Cheesey sci-fi with some British historical figures added in. It also has an awesome theme song, IF YOU'RE INTO THAT KIND OF THING:

I feel like the fact that I'm not really all that into This American Life (or shows on NPR in general) is proof that I'm not really that smart and shouldn't really be in school.
I don't know why it's This American Life and not, like, all the theory I haven't and probably won't read, but there it is.
Also, I have become obsessed with the words google makes me type to prove I am not a robot. This time it's

I love sending you yarn to make cute hats! Montreal?! New York?!? Look at you, doing stuff... I am SO jealous!
The Netti Pot has been coming up in my life way too much lately. First Stephanie has been trying to get me to use it, then my mom sent me a link to an Oprah article about it, and now YOU? I know it will most likely cure my allergies and change my life, but I just can't get excited about pouring water through one nostril and having it come out the other. And that Doctor Who theme is pretty sweet. Thank you for the serious post. Glad to hear things are well.
Did you intend to make your hat match your Netti Pot?
"Beef gravy on French fried potatoes and fresh cheese curds."
NO FUCKING WAY!
