I was once at a work event in Chicago and was going to visit a friend rather than fly home. There was an intimacy kit in my mini bar and because she was newly single, I thought it would be a fantastic gift… Until it showed up on my hotel statement. Which I had to turn in with my expense report.

OOPS!

Men fomenting anarchy, now that’s something I need to see.

Nothing says sexy like “obstetrical towelette.” I hope reading those words didn’t kill your sex life for the next five years.

So nice that you had a getaway to celebrate 5 yrs of your blog (still pretending;))…I’m actually quite jealous of your staycation.
I am cracking up about the TV guide. Hysterical. What a job that must be to write those ultra-concise descriptions….

Enjoy BlogHer!

I’m guessing you may have stayed at a W hotel (at least that’s the only hotel where I have ever seen intimacy kits). We stayed at one in New Orleans for two nights while on our way driving home for Christmas. My mom booked it for us as a wedding anniversary gift, and it was a lovely posh room, beautiful decor, rose petals strewn about the room, champagne chilling on the counter- and an x-rated “Spin The Bottle” kit. Apparently, she had let them know that it was our anniversary, and part of that package included this intimacy-inducing game, which, unfortunately, had the opposite effect. I couldn’t stop giggling, and then got very seriously disgusted when I thought about the hands that may have touched this thing, and the other places those hands may have gone…

So yeah. That’s my “What’s This Weird Thing In My Hotel?” story.

Wait … “Two Jedis enter” sounded so fabulously Shakespearean that I immediately believed you had crafted it. Am I to understand those are actual TV guide summaries? Because if so I must admit I am a bit disappointed. Here I have been earnestly reading your blog for, well over a year, and now I learn I could have acquired hours of endless amusement simply by scanning TV Guide. Er, not that your blog isn’t endlessly amusing (it is), but at the risk of sounding like your mother, I’m guessing TV Guide is updated more frequently (no offense … really, I do hope this comment is coming across as tongue in cheek as it is intended … I love your blog!!! But OMG: “Two Jedis Enter?” Or tell me you did make those up and I’ll be yours forever).

Oh, that was funny. Seriously, I am up for anything to bring on labor right now (due on Sunday!), so I think I will have to read that again. Two Jedis enter? How does that sum anything up?

Congratulations on starting your 5th year! So impressive. Have a great time at Blogher.

“Bill buys bedspread”? Woo, set the Tivo. I don’t know what people are going on about, claiming the quality of TV is in the toilet.

I also liked “Clone: Two Jedis enter.” Presumably one Jedi leaves?

Work DOES cause woe. See you in Chicago?

Obstetrical towelettes? Geez, you know that one wasn’t the female intimacy kit. Nothing like the smell of the ob/gyn’s office to make a woman’s libido run cold.
