If you follow me on Twitter, you might have caught a tweet I made shortly before Christmas about having a certain little something wrapped under my tree from “Vampire Nick.” I was, of course, instantly amused and curious as well.
I opened my main gift from Nick first (an awesome Flip video camera I’ve been playing with ever since and eventually, when life slows down enough, will post something about) and saved this one for last. I opened it and what was inside? Only a gift that caused me to erupt in laughter. Like, tears-in-the-corners-of-my-eyes laughter.
Yes Internet, my husband got me an EDWARD CULLEN DOLL. For real, I can not even tell you how flippin’ hilarious this is to me. I think it even beats last year’s birthday present from him (and don’t hate, I DO actually wear my Snuggie, ’cause you know, I’m cold ALL THE TIME!) So why blog about this goofy little gift now?
Because Edward’s propped up here at my desk and each night as I sit here, working away, there comes a moment I look up at him and laugh. I laugh at how my husband is goofy enough to get me gag gifts. I appreciate the simple fact he’s OK with my obsession with a fictional vampire (“You and every other girl in America,” he tells me). And so, when I look at this plastic hunk of junk (’cause let’s face it — he doesn’t REALLY look like Edward and that’s really what this tiny little incarnation is), I fall in love with my husband all over again.
Nick, thank you for making me giggle on bleak winter days during which a giggle is much needed. I love you for it.
XOXO,
Gail
PS – And for the record, I’ll always be Team Nick
