My wife's Christmas present

February 09, 2008 08:44 PM EST

views: 95 | comments: 19

I have regretted many things in my life...three marriages, several jobs. Nothing as much as the digital video camera I gave my wife for Christmas. It records directly to DVD, but there is also software that can be used to edit and convert to MPEG so she can post to Gather (I haven't shown her that yet!!!)

We now have a half-dozen DVDs of me in various states of disarray, and tonight she made the observation that my beard is turning white! Gray I can handle, white? NO!

I trimmed the beard. When I turned around, there she was...camera in hand; capturing me for posterity with a 3" growth of totally white hair.

I am allergic to whatever's in "Just For Men" and "Greecian Formula 44"...so I'm stuck with what I currently have (the hair fell out at 17, so I don't miss it, but I want what's left to still look dark!)

I need everyone to encourage her to not photograph me a) asleep at the keyboard, b) asleep on the John, c) shaving off the white parts...

PLEASE!

talk about shooting yourself in the foot :-)

I'm sure my hubby would feel for you ... he bought me a very nice camera for Christmas...without realizing that most of the time he and the dog are the only things to photograph around here

White hair is VERY SEXY!!!!!! Its something guys my age just don't have enough of. Also, to the lady who suggested he film me while I'm asleep, I have videos of him that are much worse than me sleeping in my birthday suite, and he KNOWS I will use them! *grin*

Start a trend. White beards are in!!!! I think mine is skipping the gray part all together....

Leah Christensen Feb 10, 2008, 11:30am EST

Amen to that, Doc!! ;-) I also told Walker that white hair is NO BIG DEAL. It looks very SEXY on you, so why shouldn't it look just as good on him?

I keep trying to convince him that that video camera was a wise investment. Maybe when he sees the points and money I get for my videos, he'll change his tune! ;-)

White hair can be very attractive.

Leah Christensen Feb 10, 2008, 11:55am EST

Yes it can, Heather!! I could give my husband a whole list of attratie white-haired men I know, if that's what it'll take to convince him.

LOL! Thanks for the laugh =P hopely your wife is just excited about the new present, and she'll eventually let you have your privacy back! =P But you just gotta tell her you don't want to be photographed! Suggest some other things she can photograph, other than you! =P

We thought about buying one of these. I'm camera shy, but I also am in the least amount of family pictures, because I take them, I would do something mischievious like this.
