Today Randy surprized me and came home during the day with a gift for me. A Valentine's Day gift.
( I know, I know, a little late) He had it wrapped in one of Sampson's blankets. He had a big speech ready to give me on how he knew I would love this gift and it was useful as well...and on and on and on. I just KNEW it would be:
- something he wanted or
- something incredibly crazy
He said he had to go to TWO stores to find it and even had to get on his phone web browser to prove to the lady in the store that they had some in stock. They were in backstock. (I wonder why?)
FINALLY he gave me the blanket wrapped gift and I unveiled.....
A SNUGGIE
Have you SEEN the commercial about this contraption? A blanket with arms?
Randy and I saw the commercial a few nights ago and we both could not stop from commenting on it. Not in a good way commenting. It looks like an outfit one of those creatures from Star Wars wears.
Or even a Jedi Knight.
All I know is that I thought it was one of the silliest things I'd ever seen. Grab a blanket already. Put on a sweatshirt. I know-turn up the heater! (oh wait, you don't have to turn on the heater wearing this!)
I honestly thought the gift was a joke. It wasn't. My dear husband told me I could wear it while I was using my laptop (I have no laptop) or while I was watching tv ( I usually do that while in bed, under covers).
He got one for my mother, too. (because they were ONLY 15 dollars! On the website they are two for 35.00!) I suggested he give MINE to my mother and take hers back. Not going to happen.
I do like the cool little booklight that came with it.
