This post does not paint me in the best light. I'm trying my very best to get over it....baby steps people, baby steps.
Before I 'officially' start, let me explain a few things. First, I'm not comfortable in my own skin....probably because it's too tight. Second, I have a horrible fear of being on the wrong side of the camera lens....kind of like my fear of people. Third, if I ask you a question....answer it....no games....unless I initiate them and am winning.
Noah had a Lacrosse game on Saturday, and as usual it was in Salt Lake. So we went and enjoyed the game (mostly...trying to contain Caleb has a tendency to make things difficult) and since we were all starving we decided to grab a bite to eat on our way home. Well, we were halfway between lunch and dinner so we decided to have linner or dunch (depending on where you are from).
We meandered our way to the freeway, perusing our many choices of eateries. The short people in the back seat kept saying how hungry they were so we went to Chuck-A-Rama...yay buffets, because there has to be something that everyone likes. We got there with 5 minutes to spare for the lunch rates, so it was a pretty good deal....except for the fact it was PACKED. I completely forgot it was Saturday in Mormonville...Football games, weddings, funerals....beyond nuts and we all know that Mormons can't have an activity without food, and Chuck-A-Rama was it.
So it took forever but we filled up our plates, got settled and began chowing down. While I was out getting my food, Felix began exploring the features of my new phone....more specifically the retro camera app. I'm guessing while I was gone that Felix enjoyed taking pictures of each of the kids. They don't care if they have a mouthful of food, they were all muggin' for the camera.
I sat down and what does my husband do.....he takes my picture. That was dumb.
Few minutes later he is typing away. I ask him what he is doing and he won't answer. That was dumb too.
We finish eating and head to the car, all the while I am pestering the heck out of him to find out what he did with the picture. While we are on the freeway he finally 'fesses up and admits that he posted it to facebook and it was funny. Why was it funny? I captioned it, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
So what do I do? COMPLETELY FLIP OUT. DUH. Not only does he take my picture, he posts it where it will stay in cyber-space for like EVER and then he compares me to a large, green man. Let me just say, it was not my dear husbands day.
As I go ON and ON and ON and ON about him calling me fat and green, he really did protest that it was a cute picture and I was giving him a dirty look, hence the caption. SO....fat and green....REALLY? Now men, you may not be able to draw the same conclusion that I did, but women....you did and that is all that really matters.
Once we got home, he removed the post from Facebook....smart move. It is two days later and I should probably stop telling him to "Post it on Facebook". Just a thought.
Lessons Learned
1. DON'T take my picture and post it online. NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo.
2. My poor husband inadvertently bit off more than he could chew...but after 16 years (almost) you would think he would know better.
3. One day I might find all of my neuroses....but there aren't enough therapists int he world to treat them all.
4. I should really roll with things better.
5. This is as close to an apology as he is gonna get....hope it works.

One of the worst fights of our marriage was when Brent took a picture of my butt. Luckily he didn't facebook it or we might not be married today, lol. As usual you make me laugh!
