So I've been really busy lately and have been out and about more than usual. Yesterday when I was at Wal-Mart I saw something that has consumed my thoughts in the 24 hours + since I was there. This "thing" has totally rocked my world and I have spent many a minute thinking about #1 - how wonderful it would be to have this "thing" and #2 - how in the world am I going to convince Shawn to bring.me.one.home.please.asap.if you.know.what.is.good.for.you. Wanna know what it was? There in all its glory on an endcap (that is for you, Leslie) was my dream come true (or something along those lines) - a bubblegum pink Snuggie!!! What? Are you laughing... I will admit, when they first came out I couldn't control my laughter either. What kind of a crazy person would want a blanket with sleeves? I mean, come on...what has this world come to, right? Well, I've had lots of time to think about it and I will tell you I was already leaning more toward this idea of a wearable blanket I was just NOT going to be seen in one of those drab colored ones. All it took was one look at that adorable pink and I dove right in to the deep end.
Right then and there I knew I wanted that Snuggie. In my mind I was already picturing myself this winter as I read or used the remote like the lady on the front of the box. It took almost everything I had to leave it sitting there on the shelf with its $14.96 price tag. What a steal. What.a.steal.
I've been dropping hints to Shawn about how wonderful it was and how productive and comfortable I could be this winter with that pink Snuggie. I am not sure if he understands the level of love and attachment I now have to that cute little thing, but I am sure over the next couple of weeks as I continue to bring it up in conversation (and this old blog) he will see the light.

TOO FUNNY - I have been telling my very metro daughter-in-law that we are all getting those for Christmas and having a photo done. She is horrified!!! So cannpt wait to see the pictures of you in your cute little pink one!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! So funny! Jen, you are such a creative writer! Seriously! I was practically hanging off the edge of my seat reading your first paragraph, dying to know what "it" was! I may have to try yours on next time I'm over and have a feeling it may be on my wish list too as I am sure you will have it soon with your subtle hints. =) Confession time... I've totally laughed in and made fun of those silly infomercials though!
ReplyDeleteSnuggies are awesome. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteokay, first-yes, I do call Wal-Mart fixtures by their proper name. Second, I am going to mock you a bit b/c those things are too funny! But, what you do in the privacy of your own home is your business! HA!
ReplyDeleteGirl, why spend the money on one when you can make one that is a one of a kind? You could so make that! Seriously! Good luck with your hints! Hope to see you at Bunco soon!
ReplyDeleteOK...here goes!!!! James makes fun of me EVERY TIME one of the fabulous infomercials come on, because I ABSOLUTELY lllloooovvvveeee those things too! Becca told me this summer that she wanted to get me one for my birthday, actually called to order it, and then realized she had to have a bank card to get it. And YEAH...the colors were not appropriate for the amount of cuddling I was going to do in it. They need happy, fun colors that inspire the cuddlerificness (James' word) of the blanky itself. Yes we could probably make one ourselves. In fact, my aunt made one in "magic pillow" form (has a pillow sized pocket made into it and it folds up into itself like a pillow and stays on the couch--no one would know our secret need to cuddle), but I haven't seen it yet. Let's get together and make them!
