PJ Party

I am joining Claudia's PJ Party at Mockingbird Hill Cottage and this is my second  PJ party since Friday.  Crazy eh?  Haven't been to a PJ party in over 30 years and all of the sudden, they are all the rage again.  I don't have any pictures from Friday night at Linda's house.  A roomful of women mostly 50+ for some reason did not want their pictures taken.  Go figure.  Instead of dancing around, watching movies and eating junk food---we sat around drinking wine, eating junk food and laughing so hard we almost....Anyways, we were celebrating Linda's birthday but she didn't want all that attention so we ate birthday cake in honour of Justin Bieber's 19th birthday!

I love pajamas, nightgowns or anything else that qualifies as bedtime apparel (as long as it is comfy - I am not a Victoria's Secret girl).  In fact, I probably own more jammies than regular clothes.  Working as a teleworker, pjs are actually my work uniform.  I spend most of my days in them unless I am leaving the house.  Above is a selection of half of my winter pjs.  I own a much larger selection of summer ones.

Here are my favourite Christmas ones - Merry Kiss*Mas and here's Lucy cuddling on them.

Such a ham.   I say her name and she rolls over.  She doesn't even look comfortable but she sees the camera in my hand and she freezes for a picture.  She loves having her picture taken.  Finn on the other hand...

Don't make eye contact!  Don't make eye contact!

Claudia asks if we've had any adventures in our pjs.  I don't know about adventures but this winter I did see Finn being attacked by a cat one street over and I dashed out of the house and jumped in my car and drove around the block and rescued him...all in pajamas and slippers.  Needs must...I also bought our work group's lottery tickets at the corner store on Friday night when I was heading to my pj party in my pjs.  Of course, the store was absolutely packed with men buying cigarettes and lottery tickets while I stood there in my jammies.  You would of thought I had curlers in my hair, they way they looked - ha!

so disinterested

My favourite pjs of all time were actually a nightgown made of an Ibex flannel blanket from a company called "Nights in White Flannel".  Love their name.  I must order another nightgown for next year.  It was so comfy and washed beautifully.  It just seemed to get softer every wash.  So much fabric that you could wrap your legs up in the skirt like a cocoon and the best part?  very large pockets!  When you are wearing it around the house for long periods of awake time, large pockets are a must for carrying your phone, your book, etc.  Here's a picture from their website (note - I have no financial interest in this recommendation).

And finally, Claudia has inspired me to be brave and show a picture of myself wearing pjs.  This is a warning if you want to stop reading now (the poor postman didn't have that choice!).
