Who needs a boost?

Today's sloth, as well as yours truly here at slothoftheday. It's been a slow day, with much-needed assistance from others. And now it's time for sleeping once more.

It's a day for your best blanket

Today's sloth has the perfect strategy for dealing with the mountains of snow that have been piling up here on the East Coast: a sloth-sized fluffy white towel, and an indulgent pair of hands hand to hold her. She'll help you find your own cuddly way, if you only close your eyes and think of her.

Sometimes you just have to ask yourself:

"What would I look like if I hung like a bat?" If you happen to be today's sloth, you already know that the answer is g*ddamn adorable.

If you're anyone else, we here at slothoftheday urge you to go ahead and try this at home; we promise you joy and delight no matter which direction you face. For bonus points, add a little swing to your dangle. Wheeeeeee!!!

This little sloth is going to Spa Castle!

And she can't wait to go diving in those roof pools and stretching out in those saunas... right after she takes just one more nap. Shhhhh; we'll see you tomorrow.

And the snow keeps falling

and the sloths keep crawling! Here's another photo of the creature who visited our Costa Rican correspondents on New Years Day. As January comes to a close, we offer you this beautiful image in the hopes that you will, too, keep your eyes peeled and choose your tree wisely.

Hold on tight!

And don't forget your pink eyeshadow! Today's sloth can show you how.

Get ready, it's SLOTH MASSAGE!

Just when you thought your week couldn't get ANY awesomer, we here at slothoftheday are here to push the envelope a little further. What do you get when you combine a sloth with a head massage? You get SLOTH MASSAGE! For reals. We aren't even joking. Watch it and weep tears of joy.

(Thanks to Jenna for the video.)

Sometimes we have no words.

This, dear readers, is one of those times. Happy snuggly-sloth Thursday.

You *can* judge a video by its title

This one has been named "the cutest baby sloth in the world ever." We think you'll agree. Happy adoring!!

What's that sound?

The sound of a teeny two-toed baby sloth crying for love! Won't you give her a little nuzzle?

It's baby sloth video week!!

Kicking off our first themed week here at slothoftheday, we are thrilled to present to you: Baby Sloths Gone Wild!! Check it out and we'll give you 5 dollars if you aren't drooling by the end.

You're welcome. Happy Monday.

Because it's Friday and we love you

we here at slothoftheday have decided to give you a treat. (Also because next week is Baby Sloth Video Week, and we wanted to drum up the appropriate excitement.) Here you'll see an adult Costa Rican sloth slowly crossing a road. Keep an eye out for the narcoleptic middle bit!

Everything's better with friends!

Especially hanging. Today's sloths have got it down, and encourage you to do the same whenever possible.

Did you know?

Today's sloth is hard at work at her weekly activity - climbing down her tree for a brief sojourn landward. Sloths spend the rest of their time in the trees, only venturing south to relieve themselves. If she hurries, she'll be back among branches by nightfall.

Knees are for loving.

Today's sloth understands the complexity of the body's largest pivotal hinge joint and embraces it with vigor. Loosen up those lovin' arms and hug your favorite knee today!

Lime green or kelly?

Choices are hard, and that's why today's sloth isn't making any. She's curling up with all her favorite pillows and taking it easy. You should too - it's Monday, after all, and the skies aren't getting any sunnier. What would sloths do?

Mmm. Breakfast.

Today's sloth knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That's why she's stocking up on fresh green leaves, to keep her fur shiny and her metabolism leisurely. Take a cue from her and start your day off right!

Do you want a rug with that sloth to go?

Very well. That'll be $17.99. Please drive around.

Free at last!! Free at last!!

Today's sloth is thankful that the holidays are over, his family has returned to their dwellings and he has nothing left to do but rest. In sunshine. On asphalt. Because it's warm. Mmmmmmmm. Slothtop.

Sudden sloths are twice as sweet

Today's sloth showed up on New Years at the house of our Costa Rican correspondents, who have been kind enough to send us some pictures of the unexpected visitor. Surprise! Sloth for you!

(Thanks to Jenn Landry for the photo.)

Amazing new astrological discovery!

There exists a thirteenth house - the house of SLOTHS! No matter where it falls in your chart, you won't be able to miss the onslaught of positive energy and sudden happiness it brings when anything even resembling a planet moves into it. You'll feel like today's sloth all the time - upside down and loving it, ready to take on lots of new challenges, and just inches from sunlight!

You're welcome. Happy 2011 from all of us at slothoftheday.
