And it wasn't because the task was an easy one. More than once I suspected it was going to be a whopping waste of $35 and - more devastatingly - two hours with all three kids sleeping at once, which could have been better spent on actually having sex than working on advertising my Passion Parties business.
The vinyl wouldn't stay put until we warmed the inside of the car up (the hubs' idea) and heated up the outside with a hairdryer (also the hubs' idea - although I'd been thinking along the same lines). The overall effect is freaking fabulous - even if I do say so myself.

"You need to be careful.... you're in Bible Belt territory......."
Wait. What the? Say what now?
She went on to applaud me for 'fighting back' and standing up for women's rights.
Err - wait. What the? Say what now?
Apparently I'm flying a a bit of a political flag with my bold hot pink lettering. Well shit - I was just hoping to sell a few more vibrators!
It hadn't even occurred to me that I might upset a few folk. I know, I know. You're thinking that's pretty blonde of me - am I right? But I'm serious! I'm a total coward when it comes to speaking my mind in public. I prefer to sit pretty on the fence when it comes to taking a political stance on abortion or gun laws or whatever the current hot debate topic is on Facebook. I won't even 'like' a posting if it's overtly political - no matter how much I genuinely like it.
I was always told it's not good manners to discuss politics or religion in company - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it - so if I can help it, I don't.
After mulling it over for a day or so I asked one other girlfriend what she thought of my decal. I hadn't been intending to ask for opinions as I figured I'd only end up chickening out and undoing all the hubs' and my hard efforts. However, as I was looking for a bit of reassurance I asked a vibe-loving lady (who's opinion greatly matters).
She said it was ballsy.
Huh. I kinda liked being called ballsy. And my first thought was, 'Cool - I can be ballsy!' Followed quickly by trepidation....
Err - wait. What the? Say what now?
So I asked the hubs what he thought, while we were brushing our teeth last night.
"Well, when I'm driving behind someone with an 'I love Jesus' bumper sticker I'm not exactly digging the sentiment - and that's okay. Same as it's okay for someone driving behind you to think you might be a bit of a slut."
Err - wait. What the? Say what now?
So, I'm not taking it down - but I am asking your opinion. Great business acumen, pretty ballsy or 'bit of a slut' - what's your take???
