Too good not to share

I've been hearing about this website... this site that lets you sign up for weather alerts. It's simple, it straightforward -- it answers the question: "Do I need an umbrella today?" I logged on this afternoon and I'm hoping for my first text alert in the morning.

Best for those of us who go to the trouble of straightening our hair. I don't know about you, but nothing makes me feel more like I wasted time than if I straighten my curly locks -- only to have them get wet and curly before the day is out.

The site is great, too, for folks, like my daughter, who ALWAYS carry an umbrella in their bag for 'just in case' moments. I don't know about you, but I'm hoping to carry smaller bags as I get older, not bigger ones.

So, if you want to check it out, visit umbrellatoday.com. I tried typing in my zip code and found that I needed to use the more central one for my city, not my outlying one. It does ask for your cell phone number (so please don't be surprised -- your umbrella report comes via text message). Theoretically I will start knowing tomorrow morning and every day thereafter if I need my umbrella.

Here's to straight hair staying straight, and handbags getting lighter.
