Snuggies are awesome.
I love them.
I own two.
One was for my Halloween costume. (We went as “Direct Marketing Family”)
I won the other at the infamous CheeseburgHER party at Mom 2.0 in Houston.
These suckers are handy to have around.
You might need one some night.
Like when you’ve been alone in the house all day and realize you are out of Diet Coke just as the baby goes down for the night but then talk to your husband who is finally on his way back home from work and talk him into bringing you one home and you are so grateful you decide to say “THANK YOU” with some YEE HAW! NAKED TIME!!! which is pretty dang easy since you were already in your underwear dancing around the living room to “Thriller” because having the house to yourself for the evening usually involves the shedding of clothing in your world and then you get all sexy and coyly poised on the couch but then realize that OMG! you are SUCH a girl and are freezing your rear end off laying there all alluring-like and that as magical as your boobies are, they just don’t look awesome covered in goose bumps, so you slip into your leopard print Snuggie JUST before your husband walks in WITH YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW to watch “The Game” and you are sitting there trying to mentally telecast to your husband that YOU! ARE! NAKED! UNDER! THE! SNUGGIE!! and that they can’t sit down and watch the game because you can’t stand up without it being totally obvious that you are utterly commando even though that is what they are sitting there staring at you expecting to to leave and HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET OUT OF THE DAMN ROOM WITHOUT YOUR VERY NICE AND INNOCENT BROTHER IN LAW SEEING YOUR CELLULITE RIDDEN ASS?! but then you have no choice but to announce that, “UM. Hi. I am naked under here so could you turn around so I CAN FLEE IN HORROR?!” before you finally get into your bedroom sanctuary trailed by your husband who is laughing his ass off and you and holding your netbook so you can hold the thing standing between you and stripperdom together in the back.
The Snuggie saved us all from mental scarring I am not sure any of us would EVER recover from.
I expect a fruit basket from my brother-in-law’s retinas in thanks.
So, if I were you?
I’d consider purchasing one.
Just sayin’.
OK that’s hilarious. Thank goodness for the snuggie!!
Funniest thing I’ve read all night! You know, if it hadn’t included your humiliation. I will imagine someone else in your place and continue laughing.
At least you got the DC, right?:)
So Snuggies save lives, really.
Pretty much.
Awesome post! Thank you for a late-night (early morning) chuckle. Too dang funny! You should be a spokesperson for Kristina’s (Pulsipher Predilections) and Stephanie’s (@sahans) Snuggies for Seniors drive going on right now!
Stephanie was my roomie at Mom 2.0 and I will have you know that I was willing to make the SUPREME SACRIFICE of giving her the McDonald’s Snuggie.
BECAUSE I WUV HER.
Alas, she didn’t have room in her suitcase.
She took it like a man. Er…bumpit-wearing-Snuggie-worshiping girl. :)
Thank goodness you were cold, is all I can say…between laughs
I’ve had garlic hanging around my neck to ward off that bad juju when it comes to the Snuggie. I don’t see that changing in the near future, however, now that I’ve seen you modeling this frock I have one question.
How does it stay on when you’re standing upright? I swear in all of the commercials the people are sitting down — especially when they’re in the bleachers cheering on their favorite team.
Is it like a hospital gown that opens in the back? Are there velcro strips? Are there two strings at the neck, like a reverse cape?
Do tell and thank you in advance.
Bwahahahaha!!!
That is exactly the reason I could never greet my husband nekkid. Because as soon as I did, he’d have his dad with him or something. Thank you for reinforcing my already fervent belief :-)
First, your costumes were AWESOME. Second, HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE!! I love my snuggie even more now. :)
That should be one of the customer testimonials on the snuggie site.
Hy-ster-i-cal.
You are obviously a gift from Baby Jeebus sparing your BiL from your ass cheese.
I want a Snuggie! I start work at 4am & it’s cold in my office. I work from home & type so a Snuggie is perfect for me. I will make my own though so I can choose my print from the fleece at Joanne’s. It’s on my To Do list along with a gazillion other things.
That’s is awesome! The Snuggie is my favorite purchase of 2010 (so far) and my husband hates it! In fact, I don’t think we’ve had naked time since I bought it.
He calls it birth control.
I’ve been there. But replace the snuggie with bubbles in a bath. And the bathroom placed in the apartment as the FIRST room by the front door where you have to pass it to get to the living room. And BIL with home teaching companion. Good times…
Lol, Loralee, you rock xD
As for snuggies, the two of them that I bought last Christmas for my parents? They totally love them (my mom likes to work wearing hers; she is a chief accountant and oftentimes bring her work home. My dad, on the other hand, loves to sleep in the snuggie on his chair behind his PC xD). Thanks again for the idea ;)
ciao,
Amy.
You sooooo should turn this story into snuggie…they could have a new found marketing tool!
I checked with my hubby who said HE would leave his brother in the Living Room/Family Room while he took advantage of my, um, assets. Then he’d go back and watch the game. So it would be a win-win, right?
That was way too funny!
That is so hilarious!!! I am just imagining your embarrassment, hubbies delight, and BIL’s what-the-huh-why-didn’t-we-call-before-we-came-in??????????
Good times, good times!!!
I am pretty sure I died a little from intense hearty laughter at the mental picture of your hospital gown shuffling to your bedroom in horror. That’s not to say I’m picturing you naked per se…Um…I don’t even know how to back paddle out of this mess. Can’t wait to meet you at Phoenix Bloggy Bootcamp??
Hilarious.
Been there. Barely recovered.
That was absolutely hilarious! Absolutely love it.
Too, too funny… That is something that would happen to me!
I love my snuggie! Now that I know it is an ass cheese savior – I love it even more. There is NO ONE on the earth that needs to see my ass cheese!! Lord help us all!!
You are such a freak. I love you.
Now I must have one.
Hey, I have an idea. We are in Autumn now, so you can send me yours for our winter months and I will return it to you for yours!
Then we can have a very chic INTERNATIONAL snuggie!
Oh God I love my snuggie and I have imagined being all nudie under it before cause it seems like it could keep everything warm ya know and I could then surprise my hubbie (and it would be a shock since I just had a baby – I have a far away body). He’ll take it though – its been awhile. But I have a fear of forgetting that I am nekked and standing up and having either my rear or or boobs catch a stiff breeze, flash the neighbor I opened the door for and then my girl parts just fall of. So no nudie snuggie time for me. I am impressed by you though. Props!
Thank you! This post has me cracking up at work, which I’m SURE my coworkers really appreciate. Great story…and I love my snuggie too, even though it was purchased as a joke :)
So funny! It’s stories like yours that keep me from ever attempting a welcoming-my-husband-home-with-nakedness moment.
I have a pink snuggie and love it, when my husband got it for me at xmas I was at first thinking just what I don’t need but I love it!
No Snuggie Sutra?
Can’t wait to trade my blue Snuggie for Peter’s sister’s pink one!
THAT. Needs to be in a sitcom somewhere.
Omg I think I almost died laughing.
I included this in my round up of favorite posts I’ve read recently. Because it’s awesome.

Now THAT was funny.
I would have farted, and then they would have left the room pronto, which would have afforded me enough time to escape. Just sayin’. Keep that up your sleeve for next time…
Ohhhh goodness. I’ma laugh this baby right on outta here!
(39 weeks preggo. Woo!)
