Sweet Catastrophe

…and I want my electric blanket. But let me tell you a story. I went on a rampage, organizing all our junk in both closets a long time ago. I pulled the cord off my electric blanket so I could fold it up more easily. At some point, the blanket got moved and the cord did not. I spent all last fall and winter searching for that cord at random times with no luck.

Sometime last Spring, I found the cord, I remember finding the cord and being incredibly annoyed with myself.

So of course I moved it and put it with the folded up electric blanket.

WRONG. I left the damn thing where it was and now I can’t find it again!! I’m not going without it again!

I was thinking about snagging one on sale this weekend, but I ended up avoiding stores as best as I could. I wouldn’t even go out for groceries.

<<< Mine is just like this one, only in green. I think now I’ll upgrade to a king size for our bed.

I keep it cold in here even in the winter, I can’t sleep when I’m just hot, and there’s nothing more relaxing than being cold and crawling under a warm blanket to slowly raise your temperature.

I think we’ve always had blankets from Sunbeam so I know they won’t burn up and they’ll warm up just as quickly at the end of the year as they did at the beginning. And I think all the ones I’ve ever had have come with an auto-off feature after a certain amount of time so I don’t have to worry about it overheating if I’m bunkering down to catch up on sleep or I forget to turn it off.

Yeah, I’m definitely not doing without my electric blanket again this year. Ryan is warm, but a blanket is better.
