Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

A Savvy Girl Always Checks Twice

Facebook is evil. Or maybe that should read, men are scoundrels.

You have all heard me whine.

Hubby is away.

He texted me late last night.

Guess what?

He misses me too, and he wanted to tell me all about it.

We flirted back and forth for a looonnnggg time. It was kinda fun!

He cajoled.

He teased.

He pushed.

I relented.

Yes, I sent him a picture. ONE.

Positioned myself for optimal beauty.

Click.

Send.

“Uploading to facebook”

Ahhhh? What? Noooooooo!!!

Panic. Panic. Panic.

Heart racing.

Dash downstairs to the computer, as I swallow the bile that is quickly rising in my throat. I log into facebook. Is it there?

No not yet. Is it still coming? Maybe. What the hell am I supposed to do?

Deactivate the whole damn account. Yes.

Good bye my fickle facebook friends. You need not see my lingerie clad décolletage today.

Breathing starts to return to normal.

Hands still trembling.

Hubby texts once more. He wants me to re-send.

Ha! Are you bleepin kidding! Not a chance mister!

What did I learn?

I am just not that adventurous, and if I am going to pretend to be, I had better check twice before I press send!

Hope you still love me!

OMG! I can just feel the panic that must have set in after you saw that "sending to facebook" message. Well, I guess the safe thing would be phone sex next time Lol.

Thanks for sharing, it is a cute story and warning to the rest of us who may feel adventurous from time to time. I just dropped my own hubby off at the airport so guess who won't be getting any naughty photos from me!

Stephanie Hartman said...

Janie B said...

Oops! Ha! Very funny, and very quick response.

Matty said...

As a hubby myself, I can appreciate getting a "risque" photo. But they always get deleted afterward.

Allison said...

Lol.

Once I sent Paul a very intimate text.. only to get a response from one of his coworkers. He'd left his phone on the break room counter and someone else pick it up. Embarrassing!

rachel... said...

Ahahahaha! I'm so NOT adventurous!

I don't even want my husband to see me naked!

Existential Waitress said...

LMAO - this is sooooo something I would do too. And Facebook really IS evil!

mrs_muffins said...

At least you were able to keep the damage from happenning.. i've heard stories of women sending racy shots to their in-laws and such. I would die!!!

Stacie's Madness said...

ROFLMAO...this is hilarious (makes mental note)

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

I would do the same thing.

Much More Than Mommy said...

ROFL!!! Wait... Are you ready to laugh about it yet?? Omgosh, that is too much! Just tell him it's the thought that counts!! :-D

Lisa "One Mom's Weight Loss" said...

Absolutely hysterical!!!

Krystyn said...

Oh wow! That would have scared the crap out of me, too!

I would tell hubby he's SOL...no way I could send a picture like that anywhere..I'm to scared!

Just Breathe said...

Oh no!

Eve said...

Ahhhhh ... hahahaha :) Can we laugh at this yet or is it too soon?

Together We Save said...

Oh no!! To funny, well it is since it was you and not me.

Kimberly@PrettyPinkMomma said...

Oh no! That sucks! I always do stuff like that which is why I would never send my hubby a pic - he wants it he needs to see it in person! Cause posting it for others to see would be the ultimate embarrassment! I don't blame you at all for deleting your account - better safe than sorry!

BigSis said...

I'd be the one that sent it to my grandmother by accident!

Shell said...

OMG, what a close call!

My dh would have loved if I had posted something like that on fb, though I would die of embarrassment!

Amy said...

Oops... Have a great day.

Busy Bee Suz said...

I am so sorry...but this is so funny. Only because it DID not happen TO ME!!!!
I hope he gets home soon!!

magda said...

Teri said...

Oh no!! Did you really deactivate your account?? I am always way too nervous to even send a racyish text, let alone a picture. I am impressed you TRIED at least. ;)

jules said...

Oh the horror! I can totally imagine that sick feeling! Too funny that you deleted your whole account.

Sarah said...

I still love you. And I feel like I have done stuff like that before. It's funny, but it sucks!

Crazy Shenanigans said...

Haha! This is why I never send anything like that. I would probably make the same mistake!

Working Mommy said...

Technodoll said...

No worries, I upload stuff on FB accidentally once in a while, just go and delete the offending material / comment / status update, nobody will see it...

Wait. I want to see it. :-D

Kristin said...

OMG, ah ha ha. I've had to delete ridiculous status updates before. Hopefully you were able to get your account up and running again!

Margaret said...

That is always my worst fear that I will send it to wrong person.

Tammy said...

You have me laughing!

Anita said...

Times have changed. Used to be a Polaroid snapshot showing the goodies.

Farmers Wife said...

DEFRIEND!!!!DEFRIEND!!!!Very funny, you've given me my final laugh of the day...xx

Cara Smith said...

Somehow, I have managed to avoid this request so far.

My friend who's husband travels a lot does it though and sends it to e-mail. I had to remind her though that its his work e-mail and goes to his blackberry where IT can "check up" on the things you receive.

Too Many Hats said...

That would have given me a freakin' heart attack. Glad you avoided disaster.

ChristeenyZ said...

Very funny! Haven't done that myself, but I can imagine. Definitely liked the part about the "fickle Facebook friends" as there are many of those. Great blog!
Btw - I nominated you for an award. Stop by and check it out.

kyooty said...

This is why I like for all my things to be "seperate" I want Flickr to be Flickr, LJ to be LJ, and Blogger to be Blogger and FB to be FB. Hubbie here is IT he gets a lot stuff in the "junk" box at work that shouldn't be there. hehhe

Mrs EyeCanSee said...

Yikes! I felt panicked for you! And this is why I refuse to take any scandulous pics...I'd mess it up and broadcast it for sure!

Coryanne Ettiene said...

sexy girl! I just had some pics taken for my hubby for v-day and in changing my FB profile pic I uploaded the wrong pic, my youngest woke from his namp, I gave him lunch and about an hour later got a call on my phone saying, wow, 3 kids and you still look great...long story short, was the shocker of a life. I feel your pain!

The Wifey said...

AH! I've done the same thing. I didn't deactivate the account though. -lol- I just kept "F5"ing and deleted it first chance!

Roxy said...

suzicate said...

Bethany said...

Lady Jennie said...
