Amazon "Wish List"

My Birthday is coming up this week. Oh man... the 14th anniversary of my 21st birthday.

Where the hell did the freakin' time go??? Seriously????

Anyway, I thought I'd come up with an Amazon "Wish List". Why not, right? It's a wish list for a reason.... it's like a little pipe dream...

Working on website content

I'm working on the content for my new website.... okay, so I've been working on this content for a long time. Have you seen the site yet? I love the illustration! What do you think? Troy from 3twenty9 Design did the illustration and the company is helping me with the site itself. They're an awesome group of folks!

Check out the website here.

This Dating Thing...

Back in January I'd decided, that after months and months, I was going to dip my toe back into the dating pool. But after just two dates - one of which resulted in me wearing a wrist brace for over a month and the other revealing just a tad too much information up front (including that he had Googled me and found out what I do for a living), I kind of pulled myself out of it for a bit.

I don't want to discuss what I do for living right away because I want someone who wants to be with me because of me. And if he doesn't want to be with me, I want it to be because we're not a match. I don't want it to be because I am the "sex toy lady" for either case.

I began thinking that dating just requires too much of my time. I'm looking for someone to fit into my life with ease. Someone who doesn't whine about my independence, my work schedule, and my undomesticness (I know that's not a real world, but just go with it). Someone who actually likes toys and doesn't think about trying to get me to quit. Someone who's the support that I need and will be there if I need him to be.

Actually, part of me just doesn't want to put the work into dating. Is that bad?

This is the longest that I've been single since I was 17 years old and I've been enjoying it.

Gees, what am I going to do when one night I have to share a bed with a straight boy? What if it's my bed? I like sleeping alone in my bed. I've FINALLY just started to work my way into the center of my bed!

If I wanna get my snuggle time in with a boy, I have a boy I can snuggle with and not worry about him trying to poke me somewhere. I mean, it's nice to snuggle up to someone sometimes.

It'll be back to the drawing board sooner or later... I'll have to see...

Oh, njoy "Eleven"...

I'd like you to meet the "Eleven" from njoy. 2-3/4 pounds (yes, pounds) and 11" long of gorgeous and cool stainless steel. 2" on one end and 1-3/4" on the other. This stunning piece is a monster of a piece.

"For Your Pleasure" used to carry the "Eleven" as a Hostess Exclusive Item in the last catalog when we picked up a large portion of the njoy collection.

I do love stainless steel and was absolutely ecstatic when njoy was added to our catalog! I had always been curious about it and this would be my chance to try it out. Since I've always been a big fan of glass, stainless steel naturally seemed like the next step.

I can tell you that I have both the "Pure Wand" and "Fun Wand" and I especially love the "Fun Wand".

So if I'm a big fan of the smaller "Fun Wand", how did I come into possession of this fine piece of steel that is the "Eleven"? I actually won it at a "For Your Pleasure" convention. Lucky me!

I'm going to be honest with you, it intimidated me. Still does. The piece comes in its own leather clutch for Pete's sake! And it did sit in my car as weapon should I ever needed it. (imagine the headline if I ever had to fight off an attacker with a huge stainless steel dildo).

The "Eleven" has moved from the car to my bedroom and it's been giving me the eye lately.

Can I handle a piece like that??

I've spoken with one of the peeps from njoy and he told me how someone he knows absolutely loves the piece and she gets off so quickly with it.... soooo.... I'm very, very curious about it.

I have this piece, so how can I let it go to waste, right?

I'm going to let it give me the eye for a bit longer and I may wink at it... And I'll let you know how it goes when it finally goes down. I am "Pleasure Pamela" and it's all about the pleasure after all, right? ;-)

Sperm-friendly

I wanted to write this from my laptop but it decided that its theme for the night would be "not responding". I seriously wanted to throw it out the window.

I was finally able to get my uploaded Vistaprint images onto various products for work (after having Troy from 3twenty9 Design send me several versions of my illustration to me) and then it froze. Well, Firefox and then Internet Explorer froze. Grrr... I had Party invitations that I had to send out. Even Tweetdeck froze.

I'm going to keep MacBook-dreamin'. And then perhaps punch my laptop in the face when I do get a MacBook.

Anyway... I wanted to write about a question a recent Party guest had for me the other week.

She asked if the lubes I show (Sliquid Swirl, Sliquid Silver, and the For Your Pleasure Waterslide) were sperm-friendly. Huh? I'd never been asked that question before. I knew they were spermicidal lubes since we don't carry lubes like that because they can be irritating to a lot of women, so they didn't necessarily kill sperm. What in the world was she talking about?

She began to fill me in on her situation: she and her husband have been trying to conceive and were told that for couples who have had more of a difficult time getting pregnant, everyday lubes can be bad for sperm. They were told to use a specific brand that's sperm-friendly. But they don't like it because it has a bad smell. I can understand why she would be looking into other lubes. If something smells bad to you, how is that suppose to help you stay in the mood for sex, right?

I went home and scoped out the lube she's been using, "Pre-Seed" and did a little research but I found a lot of jargon that I didn't get, so I knew I would have to ask a medical professional about this.

Have YOU heard of sperm-friendly lubes? The lubes I show are glycerine-free and some are also paraben-free so they are more healthy for the female body, but sperm-friendly is certainly a first for me.

Is it a date?

So I'm getting together with someone for lunch today. It's someone I've known for a little while and he's asked me out on dates before -- correction: he's asked me if he asked me out on a date if I would go.

Anyway... I've agreed to go to lunch since that's all I have time for today.

So is it a "date" or is it just lunch?

Cupcakes and vibes

Does 2 cupcakes and a milk count as lunch?

And it was great to walk thru downtown with an "OhMiBod" in my hand and no one thought it was weird. :-p

Stopped by "Sugar On Top" today. Had a pancakes & bacon cupcake (my favorite) and tried the white chocolate & macadamia nut cupcake. Both so yummy.

Got to sit and chat with Shaunda, SOT's owner and do some catching up. She's always so bubbly and hopeful. I can't help but smile when we talk. Or maybe it's the sugar high. :-p

If you haven't heard of "Sugar On Top", they were featured on Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" - Cirque episode. Their cupcakes are yummy and I'm so happy to see a local biz get some exposure. :-)

And, State College has 2 cupcake shops for you to experience - Sugar On Top and *Ndulge. Check 'em both out and go to cupcake heaven.

I even got to meet the woman behind the "SleepPhones", which I've always spotted in the SkyMall Magazines on my trips. That was pretty sweet. And it's a great-looking product that I may have to get.

Can I have my cake...

... and eat it, too?

I want a man who wants to be with because of me (who I am) -- not because of what I do for a living.

And I don't want a man to NOT want to be with me because of what I do.

Ugh.

I try to stay out in the public eye for work and then I still want my privacy. I don't really like the idea of someone Googling me and knowing the work side of my life until I tell them, if they don't already know.

Ugh. Ugh.

I really do want my cake and eat it, too.

I love a great party

I really love being able to go out for an evening, talk pleasure and toys, give my hostess over $120 in FREE products, make money, and only having to drive exactly 1 mile ROUNDTRIP. Pretty awesome.

So here's one my pics. Call me your Cupid. ;-)

A day

As I write this it's technically Thursday, but since I'm still awake, it's still Wednesday, Feb. 9th.

So yesterday was a day. A long and exhausting day. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of my godmother's passing, so I was going to pay her a visit.

And I was also going to pay my mother a visit because I found out she had been admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. My mother and I always had this rough relationship, so I didn't how she would react to me visiting.

So how did it turn out?

I can say that there was some ugly crying at the cemetery. I needed some of that time to just things start to hit me.

So yeah, my day started with sad tears.

But, my day ended with hopeful tears after I spent about 4 hours with my mom with a little talking and talk of talking about our issues and taking the steps to heal wounds and heal our relationship.

I returned to town to spend the rest of the night with friends and karaoke. My friends always make me smile and I really needed it.

Then of course I was up until about 4am getting work done. I guess after having been up for about 20 hours, I was bound to et sleepy, right?

Life has its ups and downs. When it has its down and downs, we can only move up.


Oooh yeah... Milk in a bag is awesome!

It's around the corner...

Valentine's Day, or Singles' Awareness Day, is around the corner.... What are your plans?

I know what I'll be doing and I'll keep you posted. Should be a good night though. :-)

I still can't believe it's February. Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of my godmother's passing. I'll be heading home to visit her.

This last year has been a good and bad one. My friends and I would like to punch 2010 in the face.

I'm still human after all and I feel like I haven't really mourned her. I'll tell you... My godmother was really my godmother, but that was the easiest way for me to describe her. She was like my second mother. She had known me since I was in my mother's womb. She and my "godfather" treated me like their own - spoiling me like they could and there have been times when she was there when my real mother wasn't there for me.

We got along like mother-daughter. We fought like mother-daughter.

She had been sick since September of '09, when she was in the hospital for a stint and I was driving back and forth (2 hours each way) between parties to check in on her. I remember being so stressed that I lost so much in a short time that my skinny (ya know, the ones we keep around hoping we'll fit in them again one day) we falling off of me. I had known her my entire life and I wasn't used to seeing her so physically weak and her mind not so sharp at times. She was still feisty though. She was always feisty.

Anyway... Work saved me when she passed. The day I got the call that she had passed, I did a party that night. I had to. I needed to. I didn't want to think about how she was found. I didn't want to keep making calls back and forth with the coroner to get the results of the autopsy. I didn't want to think about the last phone conversation that we had or that i had just seen her a week or two before. I think I only nearly broke down once. And then right after, my boyfriend at the time drove me back home got us a hotel room so I could get her funeral arrangements done.

I don't know how people do it. I was so fortunate that she had already pre-planned and prepaid everything. The only decisions I had to make were to pick her outfit and pick the day and time (even she had a preference for time). I don't think my brain would have been able to process it all.

It's been a year. There's been a fight with with the life insurance company. We're still dealing with the estate because it's taken so long to clean out the house. Trying to sell it.

I feel like maybe I'm not ready to let go of the house. I lived in that house for most of my childhood. She lived in it when she was younger. She and my godfather moved in after my family and I moved out. So part of me feels like when I sell the house, I'm losing the last bit of her.

How do people do it? How do folks handle estate issues so quickly??

My work started to take a hit once the spring ended. My heart wasn't into my business anymore. I never thought that would happen. It shows in my sales for the last half of the year. Ugh. The reality of her death started to hit me more and more.... Slowly.

I don't know when it will fully hit me. I'm good at pushing my feelings deep down inside.

Anyway... Sorry for getting all serious and sad. But the "Sex Toy Lady" is still human after all.

Aaand... If you know anyone who'd want to buy a fixer-upper house on 2 acres of land in southern Lancaster county, send them my way.

Twitterverse

I've been digging this whole Twitter thing.

Information can fly around so quickly and at the same time, lemme just say that it can be tough to keep up at times.
