MP,
what you're doing is VERY common. it says to me, though, that you're stuck in a rut and feel the need right now for some little extra. i did exactly what you're doing as well.
without telling hubby the "why's and wherefore's", could you tell him that you need a "perk" (in a very nice way of course). i think that might be the first thing i'd try.
fantasy is a cool thing, i think.
be safe and good luck!
