Being Thankful

This week is one of vacation for some of us in the states. I have the entire week off to rest, relax, and think about what it is I’m thankful for. Naturally, I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been thankful for this year; without the following I wouldn’t be who I am nor where I am today.

So, with that said, I’m thankful for…

My massage chair from Wal-Mart

Sure, it cost me a solid three C-notes and it took over 20 minutes to setup but it’s what makes my room worth coming home to. Long day at work? Set everything down, kick off your shoes, lay back and relax. Fight with the girl? Turn the massage up a bit more. Feeling a bit feisty? Turn on the butt massage function and giggle the worries away. Plus, the heated massage function is much cheaper than actually turning on the furnace; the thing has practically paid for itself.

Dell monitors

Nothing makes my eyes happier than my LCD monitors. They take up nearly three feet of my six-foot wide desk. I’ve named them ‘Biggie’ and ‘Rotated’ and combined they display over 3,614,720 pixels. That’s over 3 million unique light sources designed for me and my eyes. These monitors have brought me such memories as: Lost Season 2, countless episodes of Mythbusters, The Office, that one time that girl poked me on Facebook, oh they were also there the whole time I downloaded The Fray’s new CD. These monitors and I have been through a lot and I can’t think of any better friends to share my life with.

Slippers

Perhaps the most overlooked article of clothing, slippers are my new ‘winter flip-flop’. You slip them on, head out the door and now you’ve got warmer lazy footwear keeping you company. I can’t think of the numerous inappropriate occasions I’ve worn my slippers. To work at Six Flags, skiing, Chipotle, to work in Boulder, to school in Boulder, to AKPsi meetings. They’re so fashionable it’s not until I’m leaving that someone finally looks down and asks ‘are those slippers’? This Thanksgiving I’m proud to say, yes, yes they are. They keep me dry and fuzzy and I’m thankful I can enjoy those sensations this winter.

That’s just a taste of what I’m thankful for this year. What is it you’re thankful for?

About Devin Reams

My name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts). I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.

    Those are very solid things to be thankful for. I wouldn’t have guessed slippers, but if they bring you comfort, that’s all good too.

    I’d have to say I’m thankful for my subwoofer that has made my living room, football, and gaming so much more enjoyable. Then theres my Xbox 360 and 20″ iMac!

    My apartment got the major media upgrade this year.

    I dont have really fancy things like a massage chair from wal-mart. I guess I’m thankful for my cell phone… it keeps me in touch? I guess. My laptop is cool too, it plays movies that I watch from the comfort of my bed.

    I wish I had a Xbox 360 like this J Phill guy… but I only have a “old school” normal one that never gets played. Oh well…
