The 12th month of year has begun. The leaves are no longer changing color, they are now all gone. Leaving the trees looking as frail as a Hollywood starlet just out of rehab. Though a blizzard has not pounded the greater Denver area yet, we all wait in either gleeful anticipation or in dreadful fear. Born and raised in the triple digit January weather of Arizona, I fall under the dreadful fear category.

This year is different though. This year I have prepared. I have researched and stocked up on as many cozy items that I could afford. By research I mean, what I found in Skymall, and by afford I mean, what I was able to spend cause both my parents accidentally gave me money for airport parking after Thanksgiving. It's like when there is a bank error in your favor. You just shut up and take the money. Anyways here is a list of my favorite finds.

1.The Slanket

As soon as I turned my Skymall to page 136 I knew that I discovered a comfort goldmine. In the photo is a male in his early twenties. He is lounging on the couch underneath a fleece blanket, but there is something different. His hands are sticking out but his arms are still covered by fleece comfort goodness. THIS FLEECE BLANKET HAS SLEEVES.

I received my Slanket a few days ago and the only way to describe it is, "Comfort Orgasm." Plus, I can operate the remote without my arms getting frost bitten. In fact, I am writing this while immersed in the comfort of my Slanket.

2.Electric Blanket

I know for a lot of you an electric blanket is nothing new, but being from Arizona the only time I had ever used one was when I visited my grandma in California. In fact, for a while there I actually thought it was something she made.

I just got my electric blanket and used it for the first time. When it comes to improvements made in technology I believe we have made the most advancement in the electric blanket. No longer do they contain those large "warming pod things," (the pods felt like there were glow sticks woven in the blanket) and you do not have to worry about them burning down the house. The new blankets use a system of wires you can barely feel, and have anautomatic shut-off system to avoid fire hazards. I went with the king size so mine also has two warming zones that can be at two different temperatures.

FYI- When purchasing sheets for your bed always buy the largest sheet you can. I don't care if you sleep on a cot, you should still buy a king-sized mattress. This way you never have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night due to a foot that went astray and got cold. Also, when you have sleepovers you don't have to worry about that special someone taking all the sheets. What's worse than having an intimate moment ruined by a Sheet Whorder. (No! I spelled that correctly.)

3.Jumpin Jammerz

Ok, I think of myself as a pretty goofy guy and up for anything but I couldn't even think of purchasing one of these. Although, I am kind of partial to the one with the colorful cross and bones on it.

I really think its better for you to just check out the website ratherthan have me explain.

I wonder if the Jumpin Jammerz has a Butt Flap? I wonder if there is a trechnical term for Butt Flap or if that is the term? Couldn't find any information for that on the website.


Well that's my comfort rant. Hopefully it made more sense than I feel like it did.
