I love my Snuggie

by Andrea

I’ve already admitted to owning a leopard print Snuggie (best invention EVER), so I’m admittedly biased, but seriously, this commercial is hilarious. I was laughing so hard I cried and needed my inhaler. Enjoy!

Dry dock

by Andrea

Yesterday afternoon, Kurt and I saw a middle-aged couple, in some egregiously ill-fitting tank tops, taking in the sunny weather in their rather large boat, enjoying a beer and a cigarette.

Nothing particularly unusual about any of that except that their boat was parked in their driveway. They had to have been at least five or ten miles away from the nearest body of water.

I wanted to stop and congratulate them for not letting the whole no-water issue get in the way of their booze cruise.

“Why are you asking me that question?”

“You think I know?”

Pity Party

by Andrea

I have strep throat. For realsies this time. Last time I thought I had strep it was just a virus faking me out, but this time it is really, truly streptococcus, confirmed by a medical professional.

And it’s ouchie.

It’s times like these I take refuge in hazelnut hot cocoa and my Snuggie.

Don’t judge me. It’s perfect for those times when I can’t decide between a backwards bathrobe or a blanket. Also, it makes me look like some sort of weird cult member, which will be helpful in warding off door-to-door salesmen. Or anyone, really.

(My apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to read the rambling first version of this post.  Ambien and blogging don’t mix.)

FLOTUS

by Andrea

I want to be Michelle Obama when I grow up.

At the Healthy Kids Fair held at the White House. I admittedly have a serious case of blind hero worship when it comes to the Obamas, but come on! She’s hula-hooping! Also, is that shade of blue not divine?
