It appears that I am quite unusual in that I grew up in a family where sex was discussed much the same as any other topic. It wasn't discussed in graphic detail, and most often it was rather vague, but it wasn't a topic to be avoided, either. When I was a kid it was mostly us asking questions, and discussions of why premarital sex is a bad idea, that sort of thing. Now that I'm married, though, it comes up because, well, that's what most married people do.
Here's an example. I was on the speakerphone with my mom making plans to come to her house, with Poindexter helping me (translating). While I was talking, he kept nuzzling my neck. It made my mind go blank and there was a long pause, so I apologized to my mom: "I'm sorry, he's licking me and I can't concentrate." She said, with a grin in her voice, "I'll let you go then!" When I got to her house later that day, she was appalled that the licking hadn't progressed to anything (I went grocery shopping instead) and offered her bedroom for our use. That kinda thing. Fun banter, I guess.
I have also noticed that a lot of people are really squicked by the very idea of their parents and sex. This is also baffling to me. I don't try to visualize my parents in the sack, and have never accidentally walked in on them or anything, but the fact that they HAVE it, and that they kiss and hug constantly (and maybe cop a feel when they think I'm otherwise occupied and won't see) has never, ever bothered me. I think it's wonderful that they are still enjoying each other so much after 32+ years of marriage.

ugggggg.
On Monday I was given a deadline of COB yesterday, and I had to finish this despite having planned an audiologist visit in Roxborough and a flu shot yesterday morning. And of course, on Monday and Tuesday I got frantic requests from clients that I had to put ahead of this deadline.
So of course, I was up until 1:30am yesterday working, and today I feel like poo.
My daddy is definitely on the mend, all is well, and so I'm going to REST at HOME this weekend and do HOMEY things. Dammit.
Journal entries and friends-list catchup forthcoming when I feel less poo-like.
On the positive side, I did take a break yesterday to go down to see the Budweiser Clydesdales, who were in town for the evening. Those are some BIG FREAKIN' HORSES! And beautiful ones, who love to prance around. I was enthralled.
