I spent last weekend with the manfriend’s family at a beautiful cottage in a township called Tiny, in Georgian Bay. Which was apparently named after the pet poodle of Lady Sarah Maitland, the wife of Sir Peregrine Maitland, Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. Isn’t that a fun story?
Anypoodle (get it?), there was major wind and rain last weekend, so I was immediately pulled toward the gorgeous fireplace in the middle of the house, and planned to park myself there for the rest of the evening. See? Here I am playing Monopoly, and buying up Park Place, Boardwalk and all the railroads, while warming up my rear end.
But what’s that wrapped around my waist? I’ll tell you.
It’s a Snuggie.
That’s right. The manfriend’s dad gifted it to me, along with those slippers. How thoughtful! I felt a little like Gandalf wearing it, especially trying to play Wii bowling – those sleeves kept getting in the way – but I was warm. And a bit scared I was going to melt by being that close to the fire. The manfriend was only too happy to capture me wearing my Snuggie. Of course.
Please note: he’s just as uncool as me. Check out his white socks.
In addition to a Snuggie, I really could have benefitted from this Rocker Dave Flannel shirt from Mooseknuckles. Mooseknuckles is a Canadian company that makes those amazing winter coats with the fur bobbles. That aren’t Canada Goose. So even if just by default, it’s a pretty cool company. Because Canada Goose coats are tiresome.
I was really feeling the need to channel my inner lumberjack last weekend and I’m sure that feeling will return many a time this winter. This delightfully cozy shirt with a pair of limited edition Cougar Pillow Boots and I’d have the perfect Canadian winter outfit. That I’d probably live in well into spring.
