Half-Scratched

delicious shouldn't be difficult

If you’re going to do it, do it in leopard print {GIVEAWAY}

by 177 Comments

This Thanksgiving we decided to escape the frigid temps that are Utah and visit friends living in Arizona. A week in 65-degree weather, t-shirts, flip-flops and hours at the park? Total no-brainer. We left the Saturday before the holiday week started, stopping in St. George overnight to visit the in-laws and break up the trip a bit.

Late Sunday we arrived in Queen Creek, a miracle in and of itself considering we hit a cougar just outside St. George (I have the dent in my car to prove it) and were misdirected (thank you, GPS) through a very snowy, non-plowed Flagstaff.

After a week of eating, gaming, playing and laughter-induced crying, we headed home, choosing to make the full drive on Saturday to avoid the treacherous storm predicted to hit Utah on Sunday. We woke up Sunday morning to inches and inches of that white stuff skiers and snowboarders like but with which I have yet to fall in love. I find it’s only good for curling up with a good book and mug of hot cocoa—Stephen’s Candy Cane Cocoa to be exact. (Sorry, Utah. I’m a California girl at heart. (I actually think I’m a San Diego girl who was mistakenly born in the Bay Area.))

But this year I’m going to be super stylishly warm, and no, I didn’t break the bank and buy a pair of Uggs. What I did buy is a leopard-print Snuggie. Yes, you read that correctly. A Snuggie. In leopard print. My good friends and fellow Sassies Steph and Kristina have convinced me of the power of the Snuggie, especially for warding off frostbitten toes and fingers while sitting at my computer. I mean, just look how toasty-warm and happy I am!

WARNING: When working in a home office that includes one of those plastic mats for rolling office chairs, be careful not to step on your Snuggie. You might slip and have to catch yourself on your husband’s office chair.

What better way to kick off this crappy festive holiday weather than with a Snuggie-fied giveaway? I couldn’t resist buying an extra one for my fabulous readers!

That’s right—I am giving away one (1) leopard-print Snuggie!

    Is it shameful to admit I kind of need one for when I work in my basement office? Also? I love you for always commenting on my blog. It means more than you will ever know. Glad you are okay after hitting that cougar…perhaps he was trying to say something about your HOTNESS. (Not saying you are old or going after younger men…just that you are mighty fine.) xoxo

    I would most definitely wear it while doing my reading for school in our cold apartment because we are too cheap to turn up the heat

    I loved your snuggie conversion story. I have only tried on a snuggie once and it was leopard print as well. I would love to own my very own and would lounge around the house in it!

    I may be the only one in Utah that does NOT own a Snuggie. Could this giveaway change that for me?? And you, my dear, look fabulous in any kind of animal print! (even Cougar)

    How’s this for motivation . . . If I win the Snuggie I will give it to your mother. With her new Snuggie she will consider visitng her daughter, son-in-law, and wonderful grandkids during winter WITHOUT using four letter words to describe her feelings about the snow.

    With my new work schedule, I leave the house before everyone else, and so sometimes sleep out on the couch. This would help with those chilly mornings! Thank you!

    We’ve been keeping the heat low in the house to save $ because I recently lost my job.. it would be nice to be able to wrap up in a snuggie as opposed to trying to find all the blankets in the house!

    When we eat or when we sit to dinner or when we watch tv we are usually cold. Our home is in a wind tunnel and I think a lot of times the wind doesn’t stay out of my house.

    Meeeowwww! Loved your comment about being born in the wrong place. I am a San Diego wannabe stuck in the midst of the Midwest. We hate to pay the bill to heat our house to “toasty”, so I’d wear it basically from late Oct thru Mid-April…just hanging out!

    If I win the Snuggie I will be wearing it as I watch TV in the evening while chatting online with friends on my laptop. Thanks.

    I use it in the livingroom couch playing on my laptop or watching TV with my husband and to use outside in front of a firepit.

    Since I don’t work, I just sit on the couch all day. It would keep me warm and give a nice kitty snuggle base.

    I would wear my snuggie while sitting and working at the computer. Washington is a very wet, chilly state with occasional snow and I seem to be cold all the time.

    I would wear my Snuggie while working at home and also when watching TV. I have several hospital treatments monthly and will also take it with me to stay bundled up and warm during that time. I simply hate the cold. Hmmm may even tread out to the mailbox in it on very cold days….lol.

    I have a recliner I sometimes fall asleep in, and when I wake up its usually because i’m freezing or cold, this would definitly help when I try it on before I sit back.

    I’ll will give the snuggie to my wife who is a 911 dispatcher and the room she sits in is always drafty and cold to her. She would be very comfortable with the snuggie keeping her warm.

    I plan to wear it just as above: either at my home office desk or on the couch on my laptop
