HIDING IT FROM THE KIDS

Finding time to keep a relationship healthy can be a struggle for any couple during the stress of their everyday lives.

...Finding time when you have kids is even more difficult.
...Finding time to WAM when you have kids, adds another dimension to that challenge.
...Finding time to WAM, film and take pictures when you have kids is an arduous feat.

But, finding time for all of the above when you have teenagers, is well, nearly impossible.

Hiding it from the kids has become a carefully calculated equation, almost an art form, if you will.

It was easy when they were small. You could put them to bed at 8 o'clock and pretty much be guaranteed a night without interruptions. Not so now, when they are older and so full of...wisdom! It just doesn't involve closing a bedroom door anymore. First of all, they stay up for an ungodly amount of time, so waiting for them to go to bed takes forever. Then there are the other interruptions - like one of them coming in to ask a question, or calling you on their cell phone, or wondering 'what you are doing in there for so long?'

There always seems to be something or someone getting caught up in the mix. You have to be able to plan quickly, yet be flexible and understanding enough to give it up at a moment's notice.

Concealing your actions is another tour de force. You can’t just throw things away haphazardly, because 2+2=3 when there are 5 cans of shaving cream in the bathroom basket and dad has a beard.

Then there is the 'scent of suspicion'. “Mom, why does the house smell like peanut butter?” or “Why are all the fans running and the windows open when it is 40 degrees outside?”

And the camera! Where is the camera? Did somebody borrow it? Did we erase everything from it? God I hope so.

It's a constant vigil. Occasionally, we even have to resort to taking a day off from work...and then the phones still ring or someone knocks at the door! Sometimes, you can't win for losing.

END OF PART ONE...TO BE CONTINUED...

'SPECIAL SANDWICH'

Well that was interesting AND fun!

I decided to shoot a video with this WAM session. Usually I don't like to see myself on film, but this one turned out pretty good. I had a few humerous interjections that I think added to the personality of the shoot. I liked it...it was me!

The marshmallow fluff was pretty sticky and the peanut butter was a bit heavy on top of it. The best part though (or at least the best tasting part), was the chocolate frosting pies...I am SUCH a chocoholic...and a WAMMER of course! I couldn't get enough of them. And of course, to top off my special sandwich recipe, I added bread! A UMD first...bread WAM! It was whole wheat, so it was healthy!

The set up and clean up took longer than the actual shoot. But after it was all done, I was exhausted and exhilarated!

It was fun to see the responses. Some told me that they liked the total mess while others said that they liked the partial coverage of my face...better to see my expressions. Personally, I like the partial coverage pictures, where there are streaks of mess on my face and in my hair. I think it looks pretty sexy...while still showing a bit of me.

Speaking of responses, one WAMMER said that I inspired him to recreate my recipe on himself! "If I can help just one person with my posts...!"

Well, this 'special sandwich' will see you soon.

CHAT WITH ME

Since returning to the UMD, I have been spending a lot of time chatting...chatting in the UMD chat room...chatting on Yahoo IM...chatting through email and private messages. I've made some new friends as well as reconnected with some old ones. It has been fun, flattering and addictive!

Sometimes I'll be in the UMD chat room with 6 or so PMs going...makes my head spin! And some of the people I cyb...er umm, chat with can get pretty 'intense'! I want to make sure that I am giving everyone my personal attention while still keeping track of what's going on in the main room.

I like the feel of the main room chat. When the group is lively and everyone is interacting and on the mark...it's very exciting! I like my responses to be the same, but intelligent and humorous as well. These are parts of my personality that not many people know about, or see. I like to watch their reaction and surprise when they begin to put those pieces of me together. It's hard to explain, but it intoxicates me in a strange sort of way when I know that I kind of WOWed them...because they really never expected that out of me!

Ooh, look what time it is...I need to chat!!! gtg...ttyl...

See ya,

'MOUNTAIN OF MESS'

Well, the response to my first post was amazing! I was so suprised and pleased! I was getting so excited that I wanted to post again and soon. What an adrenaline rush!

Early Sunday morning, after being up almost 20 hours, we began shooting the 'Mountain of Mess' as I like to call it. We used 12 cans of chocolate frosting (we've got to find a place to get it cheaper than Kroger), 12 graham cracker pie tins and I don't know how many cans of shaving cream!

I put on my black bra, black hose and high heel shoes (I call them my horizontal shoes!) and took some test shots of my virgin face...then the fun began!

First I smeared the frosting all over my face, then body. I kept scooping it out of the bowl and putting it all over myself. It was a cool feeling and very tasty too! A chocoholic's dream fantasy!

Next came the shaving cream pies, one after another--they wouldn't stop. I was creaming as well! What a feeling to rub all that gooey mess all over!

Well, we took about 95 shots in all and after looking at the finished results I was pretty pleased. We posted a set of 3, one of my virgin face (which I thought looked stunning because I usually don't like how I look in pictures), one with frosting on me that I thought looked pretty hot, and then the 'Mountnain of Mess' picture.

The response was great so we posted some more of the frosting shots. Then we had dinner plans with some friends of ours that we haven't seen for a while. I couldn't stop thinking about my pics and what was happening on the forum. I wanted to leave the table and check the UMD.net through my phone, but I controlled myself. That made the ride home almost unbearable! I was so excited, I almost didn't make it! And again I was amazed at the response. So we posted the rest of the frosting ones.

I was in torture at work today, because the firewall blocks sites like the UMD.net and I wanted to see what was going on. Finally I got home late (of course, Murphy's Law) and saw the awesome response. Enough tease with the frosting pictures, I sent them the shaving cream pie ones...first set of course!.

Tomorrow I will send the last of the 'Mountain of Mess' and Jay thinks I should post a clean, full face one at the end.

I don't know...I'm still camera shy...would ya think?!

Talk to you soon.

WAM I AM

Hi Everybody!

It's my first WAM post and also my birthday! Last night I posted pics on the UMD.net forum too - haven't done that in years. What a week I'm having!!!

So I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts now that I'm back and WAM I AM!!!

It was fun but scary when I put my pictures up. I wasn't sure what kind of reaction I would get. I hoped that some of the old guys would remember me and the new ones would like what they saw.

Well, they didn't disappoint me. I got some nice comments and replies. Makes me happy to know that I'm still wanted.

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
I've decided to wear my birthday cake,
Just maybe you'll see!

PGKay is back!!!
