Snug Life

November has been trying its best to be a depressing thirty days in the lives of us G's, what with the people getting sick, days getting dark, winds getting chilly and trees getting barren. That's why we've had to launch an all-out counterattack. How, you ask. Simple. Return to the past.

I'm talking Snuggies and episodes of The O.C. 

I'd forgotten how much I love my Snuggie. It got a lot of use when I first had it, but then, somewhere along the way, I smashed it alongside J-Man's UW one in the linen closet and completely forgot. Then when I had one of those moments where I wished I could be completely warm and cuddled while simultaneously perusing facebook and sneaking sips of juice while my toddlers were distracted, I remembered just the merchandise created for that purpose.

I've been kicking myself for having forgotten how awesome this backwards bathrobe is in the first place.

So, a few days after rediscovering snuggie heaven, I saw some stupid listicle about fashion on The O.C. and thought to myself, "hmm, that was a teen drama I watched some of once upon a time, I need to watch the rest. Stat." Netflix doesn't carry it, and neither do most streaming sites, except for this one oddly selective compilation on cwseed.com.  Weird name, weirder options. Not only does it carry The O.C. in its entirety (with limited commercial interruptions) but it has classics like The Ben Stiller Show, or Whose Line Is It Anyway, because those are clearly other shows that a teen drama lover like me would want to binge... not!  But whatever, CW. I haven't fully understood you since you stopped being the WB. I'll shut my mouth, stop complaining, and curl up under this snuggie for another 48 minutes or so to soak in some Seth Cohen nerd jokes, terrible lady-hats, and that song about California which is bound to be stuck in my head for days.  

And, should I get bored of the Ryan and Marissa wrong side of the tracks love story, I'll just switch back to letting Pretty Little Liars string me along with teases about who A could be.
