Rain, Rain Go Away

Today would have been a perfect day to stay in bed. Dark, rainy, and cold. I was super comfy underneath my down blanket this morning. But alas, I got my ass up and into work (thank you coffee, I love you).  Hey, at least it’s Friday!  So anyway I’ve been thinking about this idea for a while now- I really think the umbrella is in need of a desperate update.  I mean the umbrella has basically been the same for like- ever. Here’s what I’m thinking- Something that fastens around your waist and has, I guess, a pole that runs up your back and the “umbrella top” will open above your head. Hands free! The top should really cover you, close to the body. None of that oversized beach umbrella shit. Your own personal bubble! No? Maybe? I think this is a fabulous idea, especially for New Yorkers who walk a lot. I’m also open to the “umbrella hat” idea. We just need one celebrity to sport the new umbrella…and poof! It will be an instant hit. And….i’ll quickly mention that, yes, I got hit by some A-Hole’s oversized umbrella today.
