guatero

i’m taking a break from talking about dating to talk about something waaaaay more awesome!!! el guatero. it’s a  rubber thingy that you fill with hot water and it keeps you warm for hours. i have no idea how to un-awkward that description. oops!

i first saw my roommate using one and she was like ‘this thing is super old school. nobody uses them cause everybody has electric blankets, but i simply cannot part with my guatero’. i had to admit that it seemed a bit archaic, but i was intrigued at it-s power of her.

then, one day, i was complaining to my boyfriend about how his apartment is always like an icebox. i will literally be wearing a parka while he has on short sleeves - guess it doesn-t matter what country you live in, some things are the same. anyway, one day when i was being especially whiny when all of a sudden he whipped out a guatero!

i fell madly in love with that thing. nowdays i sit at work and dream about heating up my guaterito (little guatero) y snuggling with it all night long! oh, how i love thee guatero!

p.s. i would never use a guatero en the united states because we have central heating. in chile, energy is a scarce resource hence the use of gas heaters and guateros.
