A little over the top

So I went a little overboard.  The people closest to me are used to this.  With me, it’s never over.  Even when it’s over.

After my description of yesterday’s shopping trip for inauguration weather gear, you’d think I had reached the summit of  Mt. Kilimanjaro when it comes to arctic accessories.  But that was yesterday.  Today I came home with one last item.  Possibly the best of all.

Just in case I forget, it even tells me what’s inside.

We’ve put a man on the moon…and now this.

You tuck your ears inside the little black rubbery covers, click them shut, and they stay there.  On your ears.   No one even has to know my secret.  I’ll just keep it under my hat.  LOL.

I couldn’t resist.

In fact I bought an extra pair for Daniel.   And he was very appreciative.  Not for the earbags.  For the laughs.

We’ll see who’s laughing Tuesday when we’re out in the cold.

Maybe Barack would want the extra pair to wear while he makes his speech.

    Why do I have a feeling this item will end up on Click for Clutter? 🙂

    Enjoy D.C.!

    If they do, I fancy them. I am a Martyr to my Ears.

    Actually this was probably pretty smart even if you didn’t wear them!

    I was at the inauguration and it was unbearably cold. I don’t know why I didn’t buy Uggs just for that day. Sunday was 10 degrees warmer and my feet were fine. But I lost all feeling on Tuesday, which lead to a moment of panic prior to the ceremony.

    Good to know you made it back, one way or another.

    You were there too??? Amazing that we didn’t connect–LOL. I think the walk helped thaw me out—my coldest part was my hands but mostly what helped keep me warm was all the adrenaline.
