Have A Very Poopy Christmas (or Stuff I Got After the Holidays)

Ok, ok. So I've been extremely negligent about this blog. Sorry about that. I guess I've been too annoyed or tired to post anything. I promise to be better about it in 2009 although I make it a point to never made resolutions like most everyone else. I had a very nice Christmas and it was good to see the family like usual. Like most people after the holiday, I hit the sale bins at some stores with varying degrees of success. I bought alot of soap again, this time hitting Lush which was having a buy one get two or one free, depending on what you purchased. Either way it was a good deal since Lush is notorious for being pricey. I also visited Williams-Sonoma and got some seasonal cleaning products and candles (who doesn't want their kitchen to smell like a fir tree while burning a peppermint candle), and Bath & Body Works, where I grabbed some Twisted Peppermint shower gel and some of their Sleep line products (best they've had in years). My most interesting purchases were at Urban Outfitters (UO), home of useless but cool and kitschy items no one really needs but wants. I previously had written about Pee and Poo, the Swedish-created stuffed toys/potty training helpers I had seen at a store not too long ago. I couldn't really justify buying two large dolls that are basically cartoon versions of urine and feces. However on the most recent visit to UO, I was delighted to find that all of the stores Christmas ornaments were marked down to $5.00. There was just one Pee left and a couple of Poos so I grabbed Pee and chose the best looking Poo. I finally had a Pee and Poo of my own! The trifecta of bodily function ornaments was completed when I saw a Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo ornament (South Park'singing turd Mr. Hankey), again the very last of its kind. I realized how lucky I was to get the last of two of my items. I haven't had a Christmas tree the past few years but I think next year I'll have to get one to show off my new ornaments. I think if I could find a toilet paper ornament I'd really be set.
