In my last post, I was complaining about the cold.
Temps actually broke into the 20s yesterday and I was thrilled. It felt down-right balmy. We’re supposed to have temps above the freezing mark tomorrow and I can hardly contain my excitement.
There’s only one thing that’s gotten me through this brutal weather.
It’s this…
Why, yes, that is a leopard print Snuggie that I’m sporting. And, yes, I do look like I weigh 800 pounds. You got a problem with it?
I’ll admit that I was an avid Snuggie hater once upon a time. But then my friends, Jessie and Evan, blessed me with one of the ginormous, hideous frocks as a gag-gift. It was supposed to be a joke, but it didn’t take long before I fell in love. At this point, I can’t even remember how I got through the first 31 years of life without it.
The main level of our house is super-duper-freezin’-jeebers and I spend each day walking around the house freezing my hiney off.
But, alas, the Snuggie has saved me. I use it just like the commercials suggest – while reading, on the computer, or watching t.v.
So, now’s the time where all of you closet Snuggie-wearers come out of hiding. Go ahead and admit your Snuggie-wearin’ ways. It’s o.k. We’re all friends here.

Love it! I laughed so hard when I saw your post. Then I promptly sent it to Dave. Sorry… ;)

Are you kidding me? Heather – the fashion guru that I so look up to??? Okay, okay, I admit it, I got a pink one for Christmas from an undisclosed source. I’ve been sworn to secrecy ;) though and can’t disclose where I got it. BUT, you are SO right…the thing keeps you warm. You know my downstairs – it’s as cold as yours. The only problem I have is that it is SO dry in NM, the thing sparks with electricity non-stop. Folding it at the end of the evening is like watching a fireworks display. Your story inspired me….Ah, I feel liberated…as if a weight as been lifted. Thanks for helping me come out of the Snuggie Closet. hehehe
PS – I told Brett I was definitely and proudly a grammy these days…not only do I own a pink Snuggie….I also bought a “Twin Door Draft Guard”….just like in the commercial. Hey, don’t laugh, I do believe it is keeping my super cold downstairs a bit warmer these days ;)

Texas Tech Snuggie wearer right here!!!!! It has actually been cold enough down here to need it! I wore it when I waited outside in the freezin’ snowy weather to see Sarah Palin. I love, love, love it!

I can’t admit to being a Snuggie wearer, I’m still sporting my sweatshirts and fleece in our meat-locker of a house. HOWEVER, grammy blessed me this Christmas with footwear equivalent in humiliation…. Dust Mop Slippers!! For those of you with hardwood flooring, these are the greatest! They’re slippers with mop-like bottoms that sweep and shine your floors as you walk through the house. Not only that, the bottoms velcro off and are machine washable! They are unflattering and embarrassing, but I wear them constantly and am enjoying my dust free floors =)

I think it is quite glamorous in leapord skin with your updo and dangle earrings.

My sisters-in-law gave me one for Christmas and I admit, it’s the best thing I currently own!

I just don’t understand why they don’t make them to fit, even a LITTLE bit.
I keep thinking I’ll try to take Tobi’s up a little. She loves hers!
Your’s IS the cutest I’ve seen.

Bite your tongue, Jami Nato (or fingers, or whatever) – that leopard print is foxy, and was a very special gift. :)

Oh my goodness! You made me laugh out loud. I am glad I had already swallowed my drink or it would have come out of my nose wihen I saw that picture. I can’t believe you own one of those. The leopard print was stylin though. :)

I’m so glad I have a place to come out and feel safe with my confession. I too have a Snuggie. I got it as a gag gift for Christmas and soon after started wearing it like it was my idea. I was not as fortunate to get a beautiful Snuggie like you. Mine is BROWN. The worst kind of Snuggie. However, I’m down with the brown and wear it while cheering on football, or chatting on the phone. Thanks for giving us a place where we can share Snuggie love without feeling judged.

hang on a sec….
Still wrapping my mind around this. I actually have friends that really wear these? What is this world coming to? (Here is the terrifying thing: This is what I say about most “trendy” things right before I purchase one.) Brian will dis-own me as his wife.
