The Next Best Thing

I've suspended my dream of being warm and dry, of finding the perfect coat with a hood. For this year anyway. I'll try again next year. Don't feel too sad for me though because I've found something else to fill the void in my heart. The next best thing - The Snuggie. I might not be both warm and dry, but I no longer have to choose between being warm and being productive (I use the term "productive" lightly). I know you're probably rolling your eyes and thinking to yourself "It's no different than wearing a robe backwards." I'll tell you it is different. If you don't have one already, I'm confident you will soon. It's ok, you don't have to tell anyone about it. It's kind of like 90210 - everyone watched it, but no one will admit it. You can cut holes in your blanket or wear your robe backwards if you want to. As for me, I'll stay warm while my hands are free for the low price of $14.95. And I know your backwards robe didn't come with a free book light. No, I'm not selling the Snuggie or making any money off this blog post. The Snuggie pretty much sells itself. Someday I'll tell my grandchildren about the olden days when we didn't have the luxury of staying warm while our hands were free. They'll probably say "Grandma, how did you survive?" and I'll tell them how tough it was and then teach them to keep believing in their dreams. I'll explain that if we can be warm while our hands are free, Grandma might even find a warm, black coat with a hood in her lifetime. Dream big, children, dream big. That coat might even come with a free book light.
