I did my Christmas shopping today. All of it, which only took 15 minutes although it had previously seemed like an insurmountable task. Then again, today was one of those days when everything seemed overwhelming but still got done.

So, I decided to reward myself. Remember how I’d been asking for gift suggestions that would satisfy my pratical side, the one who wants to spend less time cleaning and more time swilling martinis blogging or finishing my novel?

Well, much like the sex life of someone married to a video game addict, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I bought the Simple Clean Indoor Extension Cleaning System, which comes with a 13-foot telescoping pole and 6 attachments designed to get into every nook and cranny ordinarily beyond my 5′ 1″ reach. And thanks to Amazon Prime (which has not only paid for itself but saved us a fortune in shipping fees!), it’ll be here in two days.

That’s right: Christmas is coming early for me. And it’s coming with attachments! As Tim The Toolman Taylor would say: Uh! Uh! UHHH!
