Turning a corner

I've been pretty careful about the people with whom I share this blog address. I want to be free to write all thoughts without fear of causing rifts or bringing about judgment from loved ones. Every once in a while I hesitate before writing about a subject, keeping in mind who might be reading it. Then I turn a corner and toss that seemingly pointless inhibition right out the window. Corner-turning time!

Friday night I went to a "tupperware" party with some girlfriends. I happened to chat with a long-distance chum of mine earlier that day who needs major replenishments in that department because she had thrown her best bed buddy away out of guilt. (Catholicism rears its ugly head again!) Clearly I shall assist. So tonight I balanced my checkbook and realized that I'm low on cash because I spent all my money on vibrators. Granted, I splurged on the good stuff and got the spinning, multi function guys, which better do some major enhancing. And even though I feel a little foolish for giving up nice lunches out for these toys, I also feel a little empowered in a really secret, dirty, fantastic way. Plus my gynecologist recommended it. Does that mean I can claim it as a tax write-off?

Thanks for the info. regarding the ALS walk!
I enjoyed reading your post. I too go back and forth about how much I should divulge on my blog, but I have found that the posts where I really speak my mind, or at least speak truthfully about what is going on in my life, are the ones that elicit the most response...which, of course, I enjoy! Keep it up!
