I do love shiny things and I am
not even embarassed to admit it.
Things that glitter and glow like diamonds, sequins, twinkling lights, cut glass, shiny makeup, gemstones, or anything with a glint will receive my full attention.
But rarely is there a shiny thing that is not only glittery, but elegant and practical too.
And of course today’s story is about a charmingly small Christmas gift from a great friend (Pam). Pam also loves shiny things.
The little object of this tale is a “crystalline pen” made by Swarovski! It’s center is filled with tiny little crystals that shine in different lights. I keep it right where I can see it too. And occasionally a deep sigh can be heard across the room. It is a sigh of contentment.
Because this sparkling object is not only wonderful to look at,
but is also a smooth and silky writing pen.
And it has a thumbs-free rubber stylus at one end
Did you know I used to be able to type 70 words per minute on a manual typewriter?
And 100 words per minute on an electric typewriter (does anyone remember those?).
But I am woefully clumsy when it comes to texting on a cell phone!
Result: Typos! Great Big Ugly Typos!
Forefinger-texting doesn’t work for me because the typos are so horrendous nobody can decipher the mesHvs7& (see what I mean?).
Enter: The Swarovski Magical Pen.
This wonderful little thing is a real problem solver and a Senior’s Answer to keeping up with social media’s high speed demands.
Like who can match the maddening two-thumb expert young-uns who probably exceed 100 words per minute just before they run into a wall or fall down the stairs?
It’s the stylus I now love…. that little eraser-like thing at one end of my wondrous little pen.
The stylus is like a miniature thumb
and is just the right size for error free cell phone typing.
Now if they would only invent a pen that has twin stylus-es styl-eye? at one end to work like the kids using two thumbs.
Maybe I will write a letter to Swaovski!
In the meantime, thank you Pam for this sweet little gift.
