I made it work by making a Muenster cheese and avocado bagelwich. (Yes, the avocado was leftover from last week and a bit brown.)
On the side I enjoyed a sliced cucumber and a banana. The cucumber was partly frozen because apparently my fridge gets confused sometimes. It was only okay, but I still ate all of my slices.
And, since it is negative five degrees in my office today, I also sipped on a mug of Mighty Leaf chocolate mint truffle tea which helped me go from this…
to…
this…
Much betta!
I think I may have to bring in a fleece blanket to leave at my desk at work. Two other women I work with have blankets at their desks and they look warm and cozy.
Maybe I should kick it up a notch and bring in a Snuggie.
Speaking of Snuggies, did you know they make them for dogs?
I bet less than 2 percent of the dog population would actually enjoy this product. Sadie will let us dress her up all day long, but if her legs were stuck inside a blanket, she’d go ape caca on us!
Back to work I go. Let’s hope this hot tea that’s sittin’ in my belly keeps me warm until closing time!

FIRST!!! (haha – for those of you who watch Tosh.0 )
Dog snuggies are hilarious. I couldn’t imagine what my dog would do if we subjected her to wearing one.
It’d be hot pink, though… that’s her color 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
sadie would totally rock the hot pink, too.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
oh my gosh, my dogs would try to eat the dog snuggie! haha…so cute though and i hear that vizslas really need them!
peanutbutterfingers says
for real! she needs to be all bundled up in the winter.
Lisa says
Thats so cuteee! I had no idea they make a snuggie for dogs! =)
I hate when fridges get confused. That always happens to my cucumbers too. ITS THE WORST!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
HAHA, my best friend’s westie has a snuggie and it goes NUTS in it. Hilarious. Not sure that you could even get a dog as big as Sadie into one though- there’s definitely some wrestling that occurs!
Exercise and Eat says
I CANNOT imagine a dog liking that, especially a big dog like Sadie! Glad you’re warm now:)
Tiffany S says
My dog would love a snuggie…if you leave a blanket, towel, pillow, or anything soft on the floor, you can bet he will crawl under it and take a nap.
Charlie says
I love Mighty Leaf’s chocolate teas! 😀
Silvina says
My mom bought a dog snuggie for one of our dogs. He hated it. He just sat there whenever she put it one him and my mom ended up returning it. Too bad, they look hilarious. The inventor of the snuggie must be laughing their way to the bank!
carlee says
I think you need a jacket girl!
But I hear ya! I live in the ‘ great’ ( not really) northwest and its sooo cold!
your lunch looks like my kinda lunch! so simple and yummy!
I love absolutly everything on your plate.
My lunch was boring becasue i was running behind on packing thsi morninig.

Shanna, like Banana says
I would totally snugg-ify my dog. She’s so sweet that she probably wouldn’t even mind!
Babs says
I love the mug 🙂 Dog snuggies may be taking it a bit too far, because last I heard dogs had something called fur to keep them warm & cozy.
Erin says
I actually got a snuggie for my Pug last year, my husband thought I had gone crazy. I ended up taking it back because it didn’t fit him good 🙁
Jenna says
My office is freezing year round, it is horrible! I honestly have to dress like it is winter every single day. I need to stock up on tea though, thanks for the reminder!
Hope says
I am always cold, especially at work. I usually end up wearing my jacket the entire day. It’s even worse in the winter when I have to put on my winter coat and scarf. I got my dog a snuggie but he wouldn’t wear it and it didn’t fit him right. They are super cute though. 🙂
Melissa says
I totally have a snuggie at work! I’m a teacher & have the most freezing classroom in the building. I feel a little ridiculous standing in front of my class in it (I wear it robe-style, though), but it gets the job done. I think I need to invest in a cute, pink one though. The one I have has the Cincinnati Reds logo all over it! One of the guys I teach with felt bad for me & brought it in! 🙂
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
I wear my Snuggie all the time at home (the cheetah print one!) and I wish I could wear one at work. I am always cold!
I do wish Snuggies had a hood and mitten attachments — that is all they need!
Lindsey says
I love your blog but I’ve always wondered – is your work ok with you blogging at work?
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
i’m very lucky in that my work awards employees 2, 15 min. paid breaks daily, so i usually use that for my lunchtime blog post. my breakfast post is often complete before i get to work (i may just fill in a picture or two).
Melissa says
Oh my gosh–dog snuggies! What else will “they” come up with? So funny! And you should leave a hoodie on the back of your chair for those cold days. A blanket would make me a little too comfy and want to fall asleep. But I don’t have that problem because my classroom temp is controlled with my two window ac units.
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
nothing wrong with dressing up doggies 🙂 they look sooo cute all snuggied up!
Jamie @ Food in Real Life says
I think a dog snuggie is a great idea. Where else will she keep her bone while she is watching tv? Hands free!
Your lunch looks pretty fresh for being all leftovers. Lots o’ green in there!
mm says
My friend bought a snuggie for each of my Jack Russell terrires before we moved to Alaska, and they LOVE them. They typically can’t stand any kind of clothes or anything, but they love those things. 🙂
Lauren says
HAhaha, no lie, I totally brought in my snuggie to work the other day. And I wore it all day and LOVED it! 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
My dogs both got snuggies for Christmas last year!! You know, it was mostly a gag gift from my sister…but I think they kind of liked them!!
Angie - My Life in Bites says
My parents’ dog (a labradoodle) totally has a Snuggie! Even though it’s adorable on, it’s actually counterproductive because the poor thing gets overheated!
Chelsea at Striking Balance says
Oh my gosh, that dog snuggie is too funny!!
And the brown on the avocado would not bother me at all. A little colour isn’t going to stop me from eating the creamy goodness of an avocado 🙂
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says
snuggies for dogs? crazy! but cute 🙂
Mellissa says
We have a snuggie for Clifford that was a gag gift at a party. You should see the look he gave us when we tried to put it on, anger! We will not make him wear it again but it was so cute.
Meghana says
I’ve never commented but I’m a huge fan of your blog!
I work in an infant research lab and four of my lab colleagues bulk ordered snuggies last week because it’s always soo cold in our room!
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
Dog Snuggie is the greatest invention ever…you know for humans to enjoy and be entertained by…Something tells me that dogs do not actually like being wrapped up in them!
Amber K says
I have heard that snuggies are actually quite uncomfortable, so I have never had plans to get one. And I’m not a huge fan of dressing up animals, but mostly just because so many of them seem to dislike it!
dog snuggies says
The dog snuggies is just what my mother-in-law was looking for. She loves it! Great Product!
