John got me a pink Snuggie for my birthday (among many other things as I celebrated by "birthday week") and I found that I really can watch TV, talk on the phone, read, work on the computer, etc. in a snuggie!
Well yesterday, I was sitting at the kitchen table on my laptop while wearing my snuggie, and John was being especially annoying. So in a fit of surprise to him--well, and to me--I started to say "'know what else I can do in a Snuggie...?" And as I got up to run over and chase him, I slipped on the Snuggie (having stepped on it as I came out from behind the table), and like a cartoon character, my whole body went horizontal, and WHAM!! I hit the floor--hard.
I layed still trying to catch my breath--and then CRIED. It.hurt.so.bad. My left knee and hip got the worst of the fall, though I did reach up to feel if my glasses were broken, not knowing yet if I had hit my face or not on the way down too (I didn't). To his credit, John rushed over to me while holding back his laughter all the way. He checked to make sure I was not broken, though my ego was severely bruised, and when I gave him the okay to do so, he laughed and laughed and laughed. He stopped to ask me if I was laughing or crying, and when he realized I was still crying, he stifled his laughter for just a moment.
As my knight in shining armor, he peeled me up off the floor and carried me to the couch where he proceeded to bring me an ice pack for my bruised and battered body. I felt like I had been in a car wreck! My whole body is stiff and sore. Nothing that a half hour of HGTV wouldn't help, though. I told him that I wished I could have seen his face when it happened, but I just went down too fast! ...Pretty sure I heard John laughing as he walked out of the room.
Now I'm very careful about walking and wearing the Snuggie (it's long and I'm short, and this is problematic). Lesson learned: butt-kicking is not possible in a Snuggie, at least not successful chasing and butt-kicking, that is.
Second lesson: it is never okay for pets to wear Snuggies, or any other clothing for that matter.

haha! that is so funny...and cute!!
That was always my first concern when watching the Snuggie commercials! Having never worn one myself, I wasn't sure of their ankle/foot area design, but as an overly-accident prone individual, I was concerned. Thanks for putting that burning question to rest for me :)
And MUCH credit to John for making sure you were ok before laughing. That's certainly more than I can say for the boys in my household...
Oh yeah, and TOTALLY agree on the pet thing.
This just showed up in my Google Reader tonight, which was alarming because I first hoped the baby was okay! I also wondered - early birthday? Late birthday? I was so confused.
I'm anti-Snuggie. For the record.
