I’ve alluded to this before but in case you missed it, I have a big head. It’s not Guinness Book of World Records sized but it’s bigger than the average noggin. Everyone in my family has a big head too. I happen to find out a friend of mine also has a big head, so we often joke about our plight. She even ordered a catalog from here and had one sent to me. Thoughtful, no?
Last week, I won a handmade headband from Sara at The Plaid Post. In truth, I don’t even remember signing up to win, but I’m not one to turn down hair accessories. As soon as I found out I’d won, I e-mailed my big-headed friend speculating about whether or not the headband would fit me. A few hours later, I got an e-mail from Sara in which she wrote:
Thanks for reading The Plaid Post, and congratulations on your new headband. I come from a big headed family, so I’m hoping it’s not too big for you!
Surely only destiny could’ve brought us together – a perfect match!
P.S. If you haven’t had a nectarine recently, go immediately and buy some. The two I’ve had this week have been perfect. Bonus: It looks like you’re eating a little butt.
P.P.S. I don’t want to alienate people by prattling on about politics but I have to say that this morning when I prayed, I added thanks for being alive during a time when an African American is a Democratic presidential nominee. It seriously brings tears to my eyes. Just imagine what MLK or Rosa Parks would say. Amazing!

My husband and I are also bigheads! When our daughter went in for her 9 month old check-up, her head size was in the 97th percentile. You should have seen her father beam with pride as if she were a National Merit Scholar of Head Size.
Oh, and I appreciate your comments about being alive during this momentous time in political history. It’s pretty amazing.

Oh, thank you for the big hat links! I have a gigantic head, too; compounded with an enormous amount of thick hair. Maybe one day, my dream of wearing a baseball cap will actually come true.

I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts on Obama. I just wonder what the political future holds for Hillary.

Do you have any idea how terrible I’m going to feel if the oversized headband doesn’t fit your head?!! So much pressure…

@ Sara – just think how mortified I’ll be!! Hee – I’m sure it will fit!

I agree with your P.P.S. I preferred Hillary, but still, a black man or a woman–historical either way.

My head is not unusually large like Mymsie Fricknhugenoggin. Size wise my head is probably average, but the amount of pure knowledge and creativity stuffed into it is incredible! I am surprised that it doesn’t just explode from the pressure. Oh, and I am modest too.

I too have a large noggin (even without hair), and I recently came across a new website that has a free online resource (www.bigaussiehats.com) that anyone with a big head might be interested in. It looks good.

I have a size 8.5 head and have a hard time finding hats until I came across Lamood big hats.
