Thank you for the shoutout! Regarding #9, it has to be an American thing but I have no idea what it is! Can you guess I don’t watch TV? Cute name though. I’m sure you could come up with an interesting description. Slinky blanket, slimy blanket, slimy American pet…

I will happily send you 2 snuggies both his and hers in matching royal blue! My husband and I can’t wear them around the house no matter how cold it gets… we wouldn’t be able to look at each other all day without laughing our heads off and feeling like slouches 😉

I was so pleased to see that you took this and ran with it Janine! It felt a little weird for me too, but in the end it was great fun. So, how rural are we? Not THAT rural – just 45 minutes out of downtown Ottawa (did you know that Canada’s capital is ridiculously huge in terms of the geographic area it covers, but it only has about 1m souls), on the edge of a small town. The wildlife we get is truly amazing considering that we’re not in the backwoods (it just sounds like it at night!). I need to go check out Diana’s blog now, sounds interesting. Keep an eye on that lung!

Now I get it … I think we call them a Snuggie … no don’t have one … although considering our last winter electricity bill was $1500 I may have buy one for each us for the next cold season. Thanks for clearing that up.

I believe Slankets are a US thing…of which I for one am not proud of!!! It’s a snuggie/blanket to wear and keep you warm but looks like a modern day Friar Tuck robe… minus the bad hairdo… It comes in every awful color combination imaginable. Not cute. So not cute.

I love the name “shambolic”, similar to a method I put together called “symbolicoaching”… talk about similar plays on words and combos. You are now starting your day in Australia getting your kids breakfast, we are putting ours to bed here in Italy. Have a great one!

In reply to Judy. Oh good so it's not just me. I'm going to have to go and google it.

Always a good idea to stick with your area of expertise – no-one else can be as “good” at being you as you.

In reply to Diana Dentinger. That's been the biggest discovery in blogging - just how alike we all are. Thanks for stopping by.
