It's in the 40s and 50s here at night. I know, I know, you guys are all playing a tiny violin for me. But our whole 1st floor is tile. I'm cold.
Don won't turn up the thermostat past 65. He is going to win the Jimmy Carter Lifetime Achievement Award.
It's too late to start up the fireplace.
I have decided that I need a Snuggie! It's a blanket... but with sleeves! Ingenious! OK the red one makes people look like a monk. But this is the thing that I really need for the holidays:
- I don't have one.
- I'm cold.
- Similar products sell for up to $59.95!
- You can eat snacks and answer the phone! Unlike a cumbersome blankie.
- The Snuggie would be here. The blankets are upstairs.
I don't understand why my family is holding out. I think they were ticked that it's $15.90 in shipping. OK that does seem excessive. But you are getting 2 Snuggies, after all, AND the book light. And I'm cold.
PS - if I DO get the 2 for 1 Snuggies, you people living with me are not going to get to use the extra one. Only Becca, who is not making fun of me.

Samantha, Danielle, and I were looking at the snugglies, too! They were hysterical when we watched the commercial and I told them in advance that the company was going to say "but wait!" and offer 2 for the price of 1! Those commercials are pretty predictable, huh?
BTW...We keep the house at 63 in the day and 58...brrr...at night. Don's got competition for the Jimmy Carter thing! David's 1st comment when we're having people over is..."That means I have to heat the house, right?"
OMG. I am not telling Don about the 58. That's radical.
I was at the ice arena today - apparently when it's cold outside it's colder in the ice arena - so I actually NEED the 2 for 1 snuggies, I need to keep one in the car for the freakin ice arena!
YES! SNUGGIES! Zac and I saw that commercial the other day and he said, "Why can't you read or eat when you are under a blanket?" I said, "your arms would be cold if you had to take them out from under the blanket." To which he responded, "If you're cold, why wouldn't you just put on a sweater?" So smart at age 5.
That is exactly what Don said. Almost exactly.
When the teenage girls in the Quest program get too cold because the air conditioning is set so low, they put their sweatshirts or sweaters on backwards, leaving the back open. Same idea, I think. And no additional outlay of cash!
But then your legs are not covered. It's not the same effect as having a blanket.
