My Christmas wish list
Merry Christmas? a.k.a. My parents have no idea who I am
Dec 31st
Really. It’s like they have no idea. Most of you guys have never met me but you know how I feel about El Snuggie. I mean I have a category on my blog entitled “Snuggies are awesome.” Well, this year for Christmas I asked for the Deluxe Snuggie (the one with the pockets), and my father bought me (wait for it…) a “Premium Softie” instead.
I’m so not lying.
I joked on Facebook that it was just a lined sleeping bag with arm holes:
But I finally decided to open the box and I realized that there aren’t even any arm holes. It’s just a blanket — and not a very big one — with a couple snaps and a zipper.
Nuff said. More >
The Dreamie — say it ain’t so…
Nov 9th
I think we ALL know how much I heart the Snuggie.
Well, today my friend David sent me this video about the Dreamie:
How am I just now seeing this? It’s apparently been around for a while… Not sure exactly how I feel about it. I mean, I don’t sleep on satin sheets as it is, so I’m not sure this is quite as essential as the Snuggie.
HUSH YOUR MOUTH! The Snuggie is too essential!
It’s about time for me to begin compiling this Christmas’ wish list, so I’ll just throw the Dreamie on there and see what happens (ahem, ahem…)
Why replace your laptop screen when you could just buy a new computer?
Feb 8th
Oh wait… what’s that? I CAN’T AFFORD to buy a new computer OR replace my laptop screen?
Well that changes everything.
Back in mid-January the backlight went out on my Dell laptop just for no reason. I thought it’d be something cheap to repair. Replace a bulb or something simple… But it turns out I’ll have to replace the entire screen because it’s all one piece. Damn technology. I think I can get a new one for about $250… But for just $700 I could by one of the HP Vivienne Tam Digital Clutches. They’re super cute and only as big as my joke notebook. I know I can’t afford it, but I want one. (Yes I know the logic of spending an extra $450 for a new computer sounds dumb… but that’s because you haven’t SEEN it yet.
LUST, GREED, ENVY... I've used up 3 deadly sins on just this one tiny computer
See? I was over at my girl Dana’s house and she was invited by HP and Vivienne Tam to come to NY Fashion Week and blog about the clutch — all expenses paid PLUS they gave her the clutch and I fell in love.
Now, look how cute we look together!
Now clearly, I’m not going to be able to buy this clutch, but I think they have them at a much more affordable price without the designer element… I could do a basic black or purple or yellow… and of course by “I could do” I mean, “I would accept as a gift for my 30-ONE-derful…”
Exhale. A girl can dream, right? One of these days… Enjoy the Grammy’s. SO much to blog about.
Stuff I almost bought while I was buzzed

Snuggie
Blankets are such a pain in the arse! Why didn’t I think of this sooner?
But all jokes aside, I think I might actually want this. Maybe not because it’s functional. But because it’s hilarious. And kind of creepy at the same time. Snuggie, the blanket with sleeves, is quietly moving up on the EJ after-Christmas must-have list!
Kymaro Body Shaper
OK, so I own several pair of Spanx. And they’re great. But then the other nite after one of my shows in Indy I saw this infomercial for the Kymaro Body Shaper and my good ole friends Jack and Ginger were talking to me like, “Go ahead, EJ! You should totally buy that. No need to do a sit up or go for a jog, This will solve all your problems…” I know myself well enough not to drunk dial infomercial hotlines but I did save the number in my phone. I didn’t see it or even remember doing this until this afternoon. Then I didn’t remember what it was so I Googled Kymaro. And I got a bunch of horrible reviews of this product. Some very kind woman actually did a play-by-play on how the infomercial is a piece of crap. I love it. So glad I didn’t buy this. And just in case there was anyone out there who’s considered buying it — check out the chart below AND the online reviews. Her comments on the chart are soooo funny.
You’re welcome.
I did just buy the 30-Day Shred, so we’ll see how that works. Who knows, before long I may not have a need for Kymaro or Spanx… I won’t however be making any New Year’s weight loss resolutions. I’m just gonna make sure all my tags are tucked in ;)
Tee hee ;) Come to a show for explanation on that last sentence :)
My Christmas wish list — Pt. I
Nov 9th
I must have this.
My obsession with this movie has been well documented (see here and here). This board game would probably be the best Christmas gift I could ever receive. Though I have a feeling I’d have a hard time finding someone to play with me…
I saw this in a Borders, but I’m sure if you look hard enough you can find it online too. That’s right, you could make all my dreams come true without even leaving your house.
You’re welcome.
