Snuggies

Who knew? Who knew that in the midst of a grim recession, someone would dream up a bizarre blanket with arms and other people would actually buy it? Yeah, I’m talking about the Snuggie. Everyone in my family has a wonderfully warped sense of humor. For weeks my son and I have had fun mocking the Snuggie infomercial, so I shouldn’t have been surprised when he mailed his dad and me a mystery package containing two sage green Snuggies.
On my Facebook profile, several friends goaded me into posting a photo of myself in my new Snuggie. But since I have no pride whatsoever, I’ve decided to share it here with everyone. My only regret? I don’t have the red Snuggie, which would surely make me look like a member of the Emperor’s Royal Guard in Stars Wars. Maybe I’ll order one, and while I’m at it, I’ll get myself a Shuffles Shoe Mop. — CL
