Forever Awesome

This blog must start with me telling you about my soul mate. I'm not talking about my hubby. Don't get me wrong. He's awesome. I love him completely. He's a fantastic husband, partner, lover and friend. But this has nothing to do with him. This is about a person God put into my life when I was in 8th grade and has been by my side ever since. Now, more so, in a symbolic capacity as we live several states apart.

I have to tell you about her because only she would know the absolute best gift someone could ever give me. And I received that gift on Saturday. The other back story to this gift is that she ordered it at the beginning of December and told me I had something "special" coming my way. We don't normally buy each other gifts, but she said she had to get this for me. Mid-December came and went and still no package. End of December came and went and again no package. This past Friday I let her know I still hadn't received a pacakge so she could continue to track it and make sure she isn't charged for it. She spent some time yelling at the company's customer service rep and then called me to finally tell me what I would most likely never receive - a Forever Lazy for myself and the hubby. I enjoyed the thought of course, but was really disappointed that I wouldn't be receiving it. I was hoping I would get one for Christmas. I had joked about it some, but never "officially" requested it. Saturday I went out to check the mail and there outside my door was a package - return address "Forever Lazy". I couldn't get it into my house, opened up and on me fast enough. Unfortuantely I was home alone with the kids so I had to leave the photo session to the 5-year-old so I could text a picture to my girlfriend to let her know the Forever Lazy finally made its destination. After the mini photo shoot I slipped out of it, saving it for later that evening when hanging out with the hubby.

Now, onto my official consumer report of the Forever Lazy. First, it comes in three sizes. Small/X-Small, Medium, and Large/X-Large. She ordered two mediums which claims to fit someone 5'0-6'0 tall, 100-200 pounds. I thought that's what you called One Size Fits All. However, they sent two Large/X-Large. I'm pretty sure the Forever Lazy isn't supposed to be fitted in anyway, but with a Large/X-Large the major disadvantage is dealing with extra long arms and legs. I had to roll the bottoms several times and the arms a little, but the rolls held easily so no harm/no foul. Lots of room in the mid-section. Definitely the article of clothing to wear when going on a good eating binge. The Forever Lazy comes in three colors - blue, pink or grey. She chose blue. I'm sure to bring out the color of my eyes. The weight of the Forever Lazy is the exact weight of a Snuggie. It's the exact same material. It's not incredibly thick, but will keep you warm. When wearing the Forever Lazy , you are transformed into a cross between a Smuf and an Oompa Loompa. So....super hot. One of the major selling points of the Forever Lazy is that it includes a back hatch so you don't have to take the onesie off in order to use the restroom. I doubted how easily this would work. The back hatch is a zipper that runs across the back of the Forever Lazy. It keeps the Forever Lazy sticking out, similar to what would happen if you added the frame from a hoop skirt. The back hatch worked perfectly. The hubby and I sat around drinking beers last night late into the evening and I tend to pee an extraordinary amount when I drink so the back hatch got quite a work out. It was a breeze every time. The hubby didn't sport his Forever Lazy until this morning. I tried to talk him into it the night before, but I guess he felt the room was only large enough for one of us to be super sexy at a time. He was probably right. After the hubby had it on for a few hours this morning, the 5-year-old said he wanted "one of those blue things", too. So we placed an immediate call into the Forever Lazy fairy - my girlfriend.

With the Forever Lazy you're guaranteed a full range of motion. I was able to do physical activites like multiple 12 ounce reps, running up the steps to the bathroom, Wii Beer Pong and Wii Guitar Hero. Plus, I stayed warm and cozy the entire time.

So thank you Forever Lazy and thank you to my dear girlfriend for my new favorite item. I need to check the human resources dress code before the morning to make sure I can wear it to work.
