What a week! Between the election and the election, I barely had time to spend hours on Facebook. But I did have enough time to find some of my favorite things. This first one I initially missed because of a little thunder cloud called Sandy (which, obviously was not little at all and only an asshole would say it was).

Anyway, Ellen took on Bic for Her; which is to say Bic makes pens just for the ladies and who knew that all along we have been using “man pens.”

This week I found the time to turn 100 and get an electric blanket. Even though it’s leopard, it’s incredibly uncool. But it feels so good. Like, hot damn it’s toasty in here good. Or, did two little bastard kids just throw me in an oven when all I was trying to do was give them candy? Yeah, this electric blanket is that awesome.

It’s worth noting that mine only looks like this. Apparently people spend $90+ on an electric blanket. If I had that kind of money, I would just turn the damn heat up.

I shouldn’t consider my own writing my favorite, because that would be blatant narcissism. So, here is where you can find me this week:

At EveryDay Family I wrote about The Great Princess Dilemma and how no one would help a mother in Staten Island even though her two sons were probably dead during Sandy. People feel very strongly about this story over there. As they should. It’s been shared. A lot.

Then I wrote, kinda, the same thing I wrote here about the election, but it was totally different for iVillage. Can I just say add that I love to wait and see what photo accompanies what I write. They nail it every time. Oh, and then I did a video reaction about, no shocker here, Obama winning the election.

And how funny is this? Mittens felt so sure of himself he made a website about his transition to president. Yet, in case you didn’t hear, the guy never wrote a concession speech. I couldn’t be more happy that this douche bag was sent packing  self-deported.

What’s your favorite thing this week? C’mon, I know you’re a sharer. Please feel free to say me. Or boobs. Who doesn’t like those? Or, confess that you also have an electric blanket and love the shit out of it.
