I have to say I was getting depressed reading all the journal entries this morning. I don't have any really great news myself, so will tell you a story that happened to me a couple years ago.

DH had been badgering me to go with him to one of those big "sex" mega-marts -- sort of the WalMart of the sex industry. In a weak moment I agreed to go in with him. When we first walked in the door I was glued to his back trying to hide behind him, but it quickly dawned on me that no one in the store was making eye contact with anyone else so I didn't need to play ostrich. I have to admit that once I got over the initial shock, it was really quite interesting. I had trouble imagining how some of those items could actually be used though. . .

Anyway, we purchased a couple of the milder items, went to a movie, and got home quite late. I put our purchases away, disposed of the sack and boxes, and that was that. Next morning I got up and walked into the kitchen to find -- DS eating his cereal and reading the extremely detailed receipt that came from the adult store! I was absolutely mortified, grabbed the receipt and told him to forget everything he saw. "I'm trying really hard to do that, Mom!"

I hope today gets better for the rest of you!
