Task one won by a slim margin, but i volunteered to do both tasks because of the amazing feedback from the readers to the poll question, many of whom thought i should do both. There are lots of details, but i'll try to be brief. Please feel free to ask for more details here or in chat.
Task two was to purchase lubricant and pay with the exact change. Wanting to exceed expectations, rather than just buy vaseline, i went to a drug store and purchased something called "KY Warming Liquid Personal Lubricant". OMG, a certain amount of fear came over me as i performed my first real life task ever.
I went to one store for the price, left and counted the change, then went to another store to make the purchase. I made the purchase in the ******** section so i wasn't terribly embarassed in front of so many customers in the front of the store. A very nice young female ******** Assistant put my purchase in the bag as i counted out the exact change in front of her. Whew! once back in the safety of my car i felt exhilerated and humble at my task completion, knowing that i was pleasing so many others.

For Task One, i had to purchase and wear a maxipad, definitely something i have never done before. This one made me nervous, humiliated and excited all at the same time. Well, i purchased Always Long Super Maxipads (8 in the pkg) from a 50 year old female clerk at a convenience store. I must have been deep red as i put those pads on the counter, paid and quickly fled to the safety of my auto! Finding a private place, i opened the pkg. I didnt know what all that stuff was in there--all that plastic wrap, cloth, wings, blue stripe in the middle!!! But eventually, i think i figured it out and placed it in my jockey underwear, as required. (still don't know what the blue strip does)
Wearing the pad all day to some very important meetings, i felt a sense of humiliation (why am i doing this?) and a certain amount of subspace. I could feel the pad and plastic wrap every time i walked, moved, crossed my legs, etc. But especially, i found i could not just go to a urinal, pull it out, and go like i always have--very embarassing! Every time i felt that pad, i was reminded of what a change the bdsm library chat room has been for me.
I wish to thank Widget, lookingforsomething and every person who voted and esppecially those who left suggestions. I hope i met or exceeded your expectations.

PS: I am aware that many of you think this was easy--well, not for me! I was and still am a little scared, and excited by all this, my first time doing anything of this nature.
