It was cold out there

This is more about my DC trip....just a leetle rant

When I was in DC for inauguration festivities, they say the temperature was in the 30's but honestly, it felt like it was in the teens. Attempting to prepare for the cold was ludicrous. Word to the wise - you can't evah prepare for that type of cold. EVAH! Rarely do we see those types of temperatures in the south and when we do, we do much prepping for it. Because we drive everywhere, cold days go a lot like this; out of the house into the car, out of the car and into the building. No standing allowed. To top it all off, people were calling me like crazy wanting to know where exactly I was, who I had seen what were my plans etc. Answering the phone was....well...tricky. Sometimes, depending on where my iPhone ended up, under all those layers after the last call - in my jeans pocket,  coat pocket or even my purse, it was races to answer. Some calls were simply not answered because by the time I actually got to it under all the aforementioned layers or figured out where the ringing was coming (phones were ringing al around and obviously none of us were very original, we all had the same ring ) from then attempt to touch the answer button or slide the answer bar on the phone, only to remember that I can't do that with GLOVES on, the call would be gone.  I was looking through the web version of the Wall Street Journal today and I see this article. The article is about gloves and to add insult to injury, it was written over two weeks ago! The article isn't about gloves in general but, get this - gloves for iPhone users! Who woulda thunk it? IPhone compatible gloves!  If I had only seen this before my trip. Have a great Wednesday everyone.....
