Several friends and my sister have asked me to do video instant messaging using a web cam.  I finally broke down this weekend and picked one up.  Easy to install right – I have to say WTF!  I couldn’t get the friggen thing to work.  I begged a friends’ husband (pc geek) to come over and help me get this thing up and running.  After a few, “you need a mac” comments, he was able to get the dang thing working.

Now that it’s working, I’m freaked out.  Can a webcam make you gain 20 pounds?  I’ve been speaking with my friends and laughing all weekend.  After a few OH MY GOD moments, I now have a plan never to be on it or just show my tits and then no one will care what I look like….lol.

Through laughter and lot’s of web cam moments, I’ve figured out how to be the best webcam me (interpret-how do I get rid of that extra chin) in each room, the lighting needed, how far away I have to be if I don’t want the dimples to show (God forbid I’m naked on this thing) and how the Paris Hilton stance works to my advantage.  I wear reading glasses and of course the web cam has added 10 more pounds from those.  A friend suggested that I get one of those screens that lay over the monitor, which works like a large magnifier.  Oh, when did this go so wrong? J  I’m sooo not vain, but now that I have this dang thing I’ve come to realize Botox is in my future…LMAO. 

A lot of events in my life have humbled me over the years and now I have another moment that makes me say – oh what the hell…lol.
