Delicious Cookies
I gave Logan a blow job for our 11th anniversary.
He gave me something thoughtful.
Here's a weird story. Years ago when Maddie was a baby I started taking knitting classes and learned to (very slowly) knit sweaters. A woman named Anne was in my class and invited me to her playgroup. I never quite felt cool enough to hang out with her and let the friendship fizzle.
A few years later, Logan started a new job and Anne's husband worked there as well.
About a year ago Anne opened a bakery called Pinwheel Bakery in Ferndale, Michigan.
Recently the bakery landed a lunch provider gig at our husband's office. She sold these heart tattoo cookies for Mother's Day with Mom inscribed on them.
Logan was too late to order the Mother's Day version for me so on our anniversary we stopped in and he picked up a special order.
A blow job is a thoughtful gift too. Right?
Umm yeah totally, my hubby is always asking for a steak & BJ to be every friday night!!
What a sweet guy you have!!

Yes, VERY thoughtful!
And I am sure he would choose that every time over his cookie gift. EVERY TIME.

Oh, the cookies are really cute btw. HA HA!

All I have to say is that you better have gotten a fuck-load of cookies in exchange for your kind gift!

are those cookies gluten free?

Lucky dog. Good thing my hubby doesn't read blogs...

A blowjob is totally thoughtful. I even say MORE thoughtful, but that's just me.

Holy hell. I just about shot iced tea out of my nose reading the first sentence of this post.
Cookies look yummy!

Yes, that was very thoughtful. And like the 'good china', it shouldn't be just for special occasions. Think of it as the little pick-me-up for your husband. Nothing says 'I love you' like an unexpected blow job.

Love the cookies. Something stylish, yet yummy is perfect in my book.
Recently, the men in our group of friends were discussing how they only get laid on their birhtdays and Christmas. To which my poor husband lamented, "But wait! My birthday is ON CHRISTMAS!!" Yes indeed, he was born 12/25/60.

Totally thoughtful -- so long as you didn't use teeth.
It was so nice to meet you at Maggie's Haus Party. You are truly one of the nicest people I met the whole weekend and I adored your sense of humour.

I was at blogher last week for our 10th wedding anniversary. My husband would have cried for a blojob. Instead he got 4 days of solo child/pet care. Cause I'm a special lady.

Well, I'd rather have cookies, but then again, I'm not a dude.

He got steak too, right? I mean steak and blow jobs even have their own day.

Our anniversary was yesterday and I got my husband a book. I could have saved $20 if only I thought of this. Maybe he'll get two gifts.
Posted by: Sally | 2008.07.23 at 03:49 PM
Yep, mind-blowingly thoughtful.
Posted by: Amanda | 2008.07.23 at 04:31 PM
I think your gift was very thoughtful... and he didn't have to bake the cookies, did he? So while his was nice, yours was, uh, harder...
Posted by: Jennifer | 2008.07.23 at 04:42 PM
Thanks for making me snort tea out of all my facial orificeseseses. In our house, that gift would be way totally high on the thoughtfulness chart. Who the hell am I kidding? It's OFF the chart thoughtful. Remind me never to show Hubby your post...

You are hilarious, Melissa. Happy anniversary. And it was wonderful to see you over the weekend.

I don't think any man would pick cookies of any design or flavor over a blow job. Good choice!

Any chick who says "blowjob" in her blog is my kind of girl...
Let's put it this way. The way I understand it, a guy could be on a desert island, without food or water, and minutes away from death, and he would STILL pick the blowjob over a ham sandwich and a beer.
All of which is to say, They likes 'em very much.
(I love how some of your commenters are like, "Don't let my husband see this post!" As if the husbands aren't thinkin' about blowjobs every minute of the day ANYway) :)

PS I looked it up, and I am just as shocked as you to find out:
1st anniversary:Paper
2nd anniversary: Cotton
5th anniversary: Wood
10th anniversary: Tin/aluminum
11th anniversary: Oral sex
Well I'll be damned!
It also seems the 5th and 11th anniversaries have the same gift....

men like blowjobs.
women like cookies.
seems perfect to me :)

Ok at first I thought I read that wrong but realized nope! yes a good gift for any man!

Ummm...how many calories are there in a blow job?
Posted by: Olly | 2008.07.23 at 09:43 PM
Thoughtful, but I'm with Chrissz. Blow jobs shouldn't just be for special occasions. Cookies are nice too but BJ reciprocation would have been AWESOME.
Posted by: lawschoolmom | 2008.07.23 at 10:07 PM
it was my understanding that blow jobs were THE standard anniversary gift.
then again, my husband and i don't exchange "real" gifts for any occasion. cheap & lazy or just really into sexual favors? does it really matter?

Is today (july 23) yours and Logan's anniversary? Today's our 14th. Happy Anniversary and nice cookies!

Best opening sentence in a blog entry...ever!
I tip my cap, madam!

I heart this post! now could you please move to Maryland and be my BFF? :)
Posted by: jessica | 2008.07.24 at 08:09 AM
Crap. It's my 11th anniversary this October.
I didn't realize it was the gift to give on your 11th.
Posted by: Teri | 2008.07.24 at 10:00 AM
I'm guessing he thought it was a fair exchange ;)
(It was great to meet you!)
Posted by: Angella | 2008.07.24 at 10:34 AM
HA. I don't think any dude would object to a BJ!

Now there's using your head (ba dum bum)!

Oh my goodness. Pinwheel is one of my two favorite places in my 'hood, her rosemary short bread is TO DIE FOR.
Strawberry Moon is the other one for their organic crust pizza. I just introduced my book club to both places last night!
I love when I know first hand the places you post about :)

It's our 11 year anniversary coming up too, and I was wondering what I should get him.
I have a hunch he might prefer the blow job rather than the cookies.
Particularly as it's been 11 years since the last one.

I just found you today.
I was reading this entry & cracking up but some of the comments are even funnier. I love this last one, posted 2 days ago, so I guess I can comment, too. for my fiance's 53rd, I gave him sex before work and didn't say a negative word all day (which is a HUGE gift, let me tell you)...he was in heaven. :-) love your stuff!
