today’s theme is…

telling way too much to complete strangers.

and not like I’M stranger to doing so (what, are you new here?), but it struck me as odd that I found myself having two very personal conversations, with two very different people, in very different professions, within about 15 minutes of each other.

The first was at my new doctor’s office. I’m now covered under Kev’s insurance, so I had to pick a new doctor. To make things easier, I picked the same small clinic he goes to. Today I planned on dropping off our new insurance information and maybe filling out some new patient paperwork. As I did so, the receptionists asked “would you like to see a doctor today?” “Uhhh, I really don’t NEED to…” “You might as well have your first patient visit while you’re here - have a seat, it won’t be long.”

Thank god I brought my knitting.

And that’s how I came to be discussing weight loss and thyroid maintenance with a very friendly Indian woman (ha! I got to see a doctor! Kev usually gets the PA). 15 minutes later, I stopped at our friendly neighborhood, chick-friendly, adult entertainment boutique (wink wink) and got into a discussion with the purveyor of erotic goods on duty about the pros and cons of various lubes. What was more of a utilitarian, every day lube, which was better for…more specialized activities, which was glycerin free, etc. This woman now knows way too much about my sex life. But boy, was she friendly and helpful.

And Kev now has a very fun weekend in store for him.

always be prepared

16oz??? we are set for the next 5 years!!! AND…”booty formula” - alllll riiiiight.

    You aren’t right in the head, but I still would’ve taken you to Kim’s mountain cabin if I’d won ;)

    Whoa… Hot lesbian knitting swingers. Wait. No… that’s just not called for.

    Congratulations, ESC, on the marital sex. May it be just as good and twice as naughty as the pre marital sex.

    Or something. I think I blew my creative juices on the immigrants.

    Who knew there were so many varieties of lube? You learn something new every day. And who wouldn’t want to use a lube called Sassy?

    Um, I think maybe we ALL know a little too much about your sex life now. ;-)

    ha! carrie, you are NEW here! this isn’t now, nor ever has been, a knitting blog. discussing my lube choices is pretty darned tame compared to most I’ve posted. I think I’m still classified as an “adult” blog most places ;)

    Why do I think Kev has a lot of this in store for him this weekend? And for many weekends to come? (Really, no pun intended on that last word.)

    I was going to say something witty, but Julie beat me to it.

  12. 12 Mike

    So where are the updates saying how the lube performed?

    Booty formula? Sounds too much like the diaper cream I put on my kids…a close synonym…butt paste. :)
