Day 19 – How do you (and your partner if applicable) feel about PDA? Does your husband/wife/partner know that you blog and if so are they involved?
Hand holding…yes. A smooch or hug…yes. Full on heavy petting, feeling up and the like, uh get a room! PDA is uncomfortable for me. Perhaps its a self image thing. Having body issues I often worry that in the midst of a public make out session someone is going to happen to look at me and at that exact moment in time my stomach will be exposed and the rolls and stretch marks will be on display for the world to see (yes, having a FG day). Its something held over from childhood. I can so hear my grandmother waxing passionately about “those fast *ss girls out there letting boys paw all over them”. Plus I’m someone’s mother. I would have been mortified if I ever saw my mom making out in public and I am sure The Bee feels the same. She even pretends to vomit if I dare mention that I think so and so on TV is cute. Working with the public and their children also has some hold over what I do. Would I really like little Sophie to see me in public as I’m being felt up by Effin’ Guy? That would be some story…
Little Sophie: Mommy! That’s Miss Rachee!
Me: (Sucking face) Hey! See you tomorrow?
Little Sophie’s mom: Uh…No!
[shudder!]
Also for me it’s all about the mystery. No one should know all of the wild and crazy things that make up Rachee. I like to keep some mystery and mystique. Some things should only be shared with the special someone in my life. If its your thing, fine but I’ll turn away and only judge you slightly.
‘Cause I’m a classy lady, dammit!
Now as for blogging, I follow my PDA rules. Everybody doesn’t need to know all of my business and trust and believe that the stuff I do share has been tweaked, re tweaked, worried and considered before I hit send. Being online is not anonymous, even though I think I am hiding behind my computer screen people know me, recognize The Bee, the places I am talking about and if I cannot say it ti that person’s face, stand behind it 100% then it needs not be said.
What say you?
How do you feel about PDAs?

Yes, yes, yes. Totally agree. I love to hold hands, hug, and pass a peck here and there when I’m out with Frank, but any more than that is just gross. Plus, I’m a teacher. The kids are EVERYWHERE. That’s all I need is to have one of my hormone-laden 8th graders catch me making out with the hubs. Not cute.
agree! =)

That’s how I feel! My kid and I were out tonight and saw an old patron! The
kid ran up to me and hugged me. Can you imagine if I were somewhere hugged
up?
Sigh!
