My Snuggie Bunny

Enough of this weather, I say. I'm not able to shake the chill, wearing several layers of sweaters and sweatpants under several layers of blankets when going to bed at night. The master bedroom in our house is the coldest in the winter and the warmest in the summer, being at the end of the ventilation, so lately I've been chattering and complaining. Usually the first to bed, I complain until the crew joins me. My girl doesn't usually start her night in our bed, but when it's this cold, she understands the mathematics involved in 2 times body heat under the blankets. Even with her and my husband-the-radiator I couldn't shake the chill last night, so I finally caved. We stopped and bought Snuggies this morning. It is a great invention to wrap up my cold teen during a chilly car ride to school, but when I put mine on in the afternoon I found I was tripping and dragging. It's only meant for sitting still, and that's something I rarely do when home. It's practice, laundry, fuss in the kitchen, run here and there. I'm glad we have no steps in the house. If I tried a staircase in that thing I'd likely be found at the bottom in a crumpled but warm pile. So it occurred to me. The freaking thing is less practical than a bathrobe. A simple, fleece bathrobe would "snug" and it would allow me to move too. I'm such a sucker for advertising.

But your baby girl looks so cute in that pink snuggie. I wonder if there will ever be a cashmere snuggie?

Oh, always a sucker for physical comedy, I like the "crumpled but warm pile" line. I'd make sure you were ok before I laughed or even thought about taking your snuggie.

I went from flannel sheets to sleeping between two micro-fleece blankets this season. The "kids" only provide so much warmth.

98.6 Degrees x 3 + cats = Warm enough to go to sleep!

We may mock or criticize the Snuggie but the creator of said cuddlywear might be buying that villa in Tuscany right about now. One more cold snap and he or she can pick up the other one in the south of Spain!

Snuggies need to have feet...but then they would look like sweat pants...I remember Allison sleeping in sweats in the winter...you didn't mention sleeping with socks..men sleep in underwear, why are they so warm?
