Default Overheating

Alright, I was coming home from work today and I noticed my car was running pretty damn hot, the needle was ta the "L" of normal on the temp gauge. So I Pulled over, popped the hood and sat tehre and let her cool to below the "N". Then I started her up again and drove home. Now nomaril the needle says between the "N" and "O", and all the way home it was between the "O" and "R". It never got higher than that point all the way home. Now could this overheatin be becauise of a dreaded head gasket failure, or something simple such as the fan not working or low coolant, which i checked and it wasnt low at all. I know its not the T-sat because I just replaced that like a month ago, so I dont think is that...ALso, it is 46*C degress today, so that may help

**** man, that would blow if it is that, is there any other way to check/confirm the head gasket is gone?
