"I leave with a black satin bag, a bottle of Slippery Kitty lube and – note how good my friends are to me – a two-cup coffee maker." That's the secret recipe to life, right there!

Lila adores George, who is 3. So George and Lila jump off chairs and laugh, George in his blond hair, Superman boxers, Buzz Light Year shades and nothing else. </p><p>Heidi and I are at the table, steam rising from our teacups. Heidi makes a mean cup of green tea. And she used to sell sex toys.</p><p>She was a rep with one of those companies that hosts in-house parties, like Tupperware, but with vibrators and nipple nibbler cream, instead of airtight leftover containers.</p><p>Somewhere in her house is this box of lonely, untouched sex toys, and I’m a separated single mom and I haven’t sex in seven months. I lean forward. I need that box.</p><p>I’ve been asking for months. Where is that box, girl? And, she’s stumped. She knows she put it somewhere... back of a closet, behind her husband’s guitars... but where?</p><p>Didn’t she see those capital letters forming over my head when I spoke: WHERE? (By “where” I was saying “urgent.”) </p><p>It was almost time to get Roxie on her way, but I was not leaving empty handed.</p><p>“You need to find the box,” I say, and now I say “the box” and we both know what I’m talking about. “I’m going to rip your house apart, girl. Seven Months. It’s been seven months,” I say. “Seriously, I’m going to rip the walls out to find that box.”</p><p>She says, “Oh my god, I forgot to tell you. I found it!.” </p><p>A pause. </p><p>“Oh my god. Seven months. I’m so sorry. That’s so long.”</p><p>In the back corner of the closet is a pretty pink case with white polka-dots, filled with black satin bags that are stuffed with vibrators. </p><p><a href="http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/house-bloggers/elaina-goodman/batteries-not-included">read more</a></p> http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/house-bloggers/elaina-goodman/batteries-not-included#comments divorce blog Sex and Love Moving Beyond Divorce Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:24:58 -0400 Elaina Goodman 7320 at http://www.firstwivesworld.com
