finally, being a bad girl has paid off!
i know i get snarky during the holiday season. there must be something about the gluttony and the greed of the season that pushes my buttons and sometimes allows me to produce some funny rants. (or at least i think they're funny.)
every so often though, a well-intentioned gift or event manages to break down my bitter walls. this year it was two things that touched me:
1) a donation made to the aspca in lieu of a gift;
2) and, oh my goddess - an OhMiBod vibrator!
seriously, apple should have thought of this one years ago. i'm not sure if my death of a pocket rocket rant inspired my husband or my none-too-subtle bitching did the trick, but mam outdid himself this time.
tune in, turn on is right. all little jokes aside, this new incarnation of pinky can not only be synched to your ipod (and now that mine received a new battery from santa as well, works good as new) but can work, ahem, alone as well. (rubber veiny sleeve sold separately.)
just think about this for a minute.
do you need a little "mood" music to get you going? now, you can listen to and FEEL barry white's barritone growl. if r&b isn't your style, i know a little electronica with it's steady thump-thump rhythm might do the trick. the only music style i can't imagine being too receptive to use is country. honestly, how does one consider a pick-up truck and your cousin-sister-bride leaving you a turn-on? then again, if you drive a beat-up pickup truck and have a cousin-sister-bride, there probably isn't an ipod or a vibrator in your life. wow, that thought is sad on sooo many levels!
i promise this will be my last holiday post for at least 300 days. we had our final holiday soiree last night at renee's holiday re-gifting party which was a great party to end the season. on the drive to her house, mam asked me what i considered the best gift i received this year considering we had spent the afternoon debating the truly horrific gifts and which one was most worthy of being re-gifted at the party.
("thanks, nan, i loved the mint green pearl necklace and earring set. yes, of course i wear them all the time. why didn't i wear them today? they, uh, didn't match my outfit... because how freakin' often do i wear anything that warrants mint green pearls?!?" mam chose the bottle of manischewitz, the plastic sumo wrestler and the two sleeves of pink golf balls as his gifts to part with.)
without a doubt, my new pinky is the best christmas gift i ever received. simply, it's the gift that just keeps on giving.
