snuggie-2-of-1

Yes that’s me. In my Snuggie.

A few of my friends (and a few new visitors - hi there!!! :) left comments saying they wanted to see me actually WEARING the Snuggie. So please disregard the horribleness that is this photo and enjoy a laugh at my expense.

I’ll add that it took Nick and I about 10 minutes after pulling it out of the box to decide the only thing that would make this gag better would be recreating the ridiculous photos on the box.

You know, in which paid actors (those poor souls) are wearing the Snuggie to read in. To knit in. To surf the Web. TO CHEER ON THEIR KIDS AT A FOOTBALL GAME.

At the Werner house, I had to draw the line when Nick started hauling in all the other props from the garage he wanted me to pose with while wearing the Snuggie. (This included a barbell, a fishing rod and — no joke — an axe.)

“What, am I going to be chopping wood in the Snuggie?” I asked him.

“Now Gail,” he said, all serious. “You never know when this thing could come in handy.”

My husband just might need a Magic Bullet for his birthday. We’ll call it payback — by infomercial gluttony.

    1. I am an infomercial junkie and if you get a Magic Bullet, I will die of jealousy.

    2. As a result of #1, I totally want a Snuggie.

    3. I was doing a wedding this weekend and the bride was trying to put on makeup without getting it on her dress, and they went through this huge thing of putting a table cloth over her shoulders with her arms sticking out the side, and I was like, YOU NEED A SNUGGIE! Seriously, the applications are endless. (Although I wouldn’t wear one to a football game. That, to me, would present The Hospital Gown Problem, which is to say, exposed ass.)

    Hahaha - yes, we DID get a booklight! Okay Miss Bets, now how do YOU know that or have you been watching too many late-night infomercials? :)
    And secretly, I do love having that around. An old booklight I did have ran out of its teeny-tiny battery a LONG time ago so this was good timing on the Snuggie’s part!

    Gail, I am REALLY disappointed that you didn’t get a picture with your bonus book light. I mean, that was probably a $9.99 value and it was FREE! I bet if you are unhappy with your Snuggie you can return it and KEEP your book light! Where is the love for the book light? :)

    I think Andy likes this post because he’s hoping I’ll get him that stupid jerky maker, which btw, IS NOT HAPPENING!

    You guys really bought those things?! Unreal. Does your book light make that ‘ding’ noise when you open it like it does on the commercial?

    Haha is all I can say…
