Electric Bling
Most of us like bling that has a lot of wattage. You know, the kind that jumps off your neck and has everyone pawing your decolletage, the earrings that make you want to go for the up-do, the ring that forces you to have a manicure or the bracelets that you can always self- admire (although not recommended while driving…future blog on that later).
For my up coming birthday, anniversary and all holidays combined, I have some serious bling on my radar. Don’t like to brag, but it’s more than 10,000 carats. And…it promises to bring me much happiness in years to come even though people may never see it.
Drum roll, please…It’s a stationary, outside mounted, generator.
Panties in a twist would be an understatement.
For the first time ever, I’m not looking for something subtle. I want the biggest, mother f**ker in the store. It’s the new bling for the hurricane and ice storm challenged.

You go girl! Living on the sunshine state We are always under the threat of no electric. My husband says” no generator” Our neighbors caught fire and We live with a camping lantern and go to Dunkin Donuts for liquid the only place open here. My husband said ” go to your daughters she has a generator” save me a room if we get hit again!

As I said before and here , I bitched a blue streak about this small and noisy little red ….whachamacallit. But the first time we lost our power for 3 , I repeat 3 days ………… I said seven Hail Marys and sang Hallelujah 6 times because while my neighbors were freezing and worried about showers ……….. I WAS IN the shower and it was hot baby . So my new song is … come on baby light my fire , bring that generator in !
