Gee Bubba thanks for THAT bit of advice...

My darling life partner came home Monday night and proceeded to inform me of the "new thing" he heard about on the radio... employers were checking Facebook... Shocking I know.

Now as I looked at darling Bubba and smirked - "really?  Color me surprised"  (insert snark font here)

He apparently missed the said snark tone, facial expression and body language that was all but shouting "No #$%^ Captain Obvious"   ... he went on to explain to me how people who hold government clearances needed to be careful about what they posted on Facebook, and how employers are checking and on and on.... still NOT noting the look of complete un-surprise and 'tell me something I don't already know' coming from his beloved spousal unit... (aka ME).    Finally I out and out just said -- "Yeah hon, I know.... there is nothing on Facebook that causes me any heartburn.  For crying out loud WTHeck  do you think I put up there??"

Of course THAT was the wrong question - because then began the inquisition of anything about me anything about his family (citing blog) which I told him was gone... and if there becomes an issue - the other blog will disappear (I have backups).    But he continued - to go on and on for the better part of 5 minutes admonishing me on all of this... I finally put my foot down and said - I'm friends with both my parents, my brother, AND your sister and niece... not to mention a fair number of young ladies with whom I am supposed to be an "advisor".  Not to mention the fact - where in my day to day life am I doing/saying/ eating/ drinking anything that I couldn't put up for public consumption that would bother me?  Or anyone else for that matter... I mean really.

HE STILL KEPT TALKING.... so I finally said "do you seriously think that those darling Rainbow girls the main reason I'm on Facebook not to mention your sister or other mutual friends wouldn't react or say something to you if there were bizarre pictures or comments up on Facebook???

And I quote, "Yeah my sister would tell me if something was up"

Insert forehead directly into palm... repeat until the pain fades into black...

Cripes.   I can't make this crap up - I so desperately want to shake him bodily and say "YOU ARE NOT RIGHT ALL THE TIME -- NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PEA BRAIN THINKS".

But we all know that ain't seeping in - so we continue with our mantra... "I will not do well in jail... "

In other news...

We have made it to Thursday -- it ain't Friday be we're getting closer.  Wednesday I was so tired I hated myself and everyone around me.  Tuesday was a long, long day.  I had a good day - at a nerd conference all day learned lots of good things, then came home dealt with Bubba changed into a long white dress and headed off to the Ladies Group meeting - state WIDE meeting.  Now I already missed the dinner before (shucks darn) and managed to arrive a mere 30 minutes before the meeting started - they wanted everyone there if not for dinner, then at least 1 hour before hand... yeah... not so much.

I remembered by 3 lines, managed not to screw that up, and basically fought to stay awake for the rest of the night.  I disappeared as soon as 9/10's of the room was cleaned up, I can't lift that much yet - so I did what I could then quietly disappeared.

Best part - I pulled into the driveway and there was MY dog waiting for me by the open door.  Yes Miss Shelby is now mine - she was sitting by the door and perked up when I pulled in.  I loved her lots, changed my clothes and went to bed... what felt like 10 minutes later -- that @#$%^ alarm went off and back on the hamster wheel I went.

OK enough for today... off to pretend to be productive...
