To beard or not to beard
HOLY where have I been? I just realized now that my header that I LOVE from Jenn who I also LOVE has Adam with beard and sans beard on it. Awesome. He changes his look so often I can hardly keep up and I married him.
On the weekend he was calling it his BIRTHDAY BEARD.
Last night after I had turned off the lamp and we were headed to REM sleep from the darkness I asked, “how long are you planning to keep that beard?” To which he replied that he would know when it was time to shave it. *he did say if it was bothering my lady bits he would shave it if I asked him to, how sweet*
His birthday was actually on Monday. We had a really full day, we did a lot of stuff, Adam gave me a birthday card that he had gotten for my birthday back in June but he wanted to see if he could wait till his to give it to me. Living with a mind as brilliant as his has its more bizarre moments indeed. Apparently the highlight for Adam was when I played catch with him. He had brought up two gloves and a ball from storage when I told him we were going to a game and I told him that I would go out and play with him but I don’t think he believed me knowing very well of my disdain for baseball. The smaller of the gloves was an exact fit having belonged to one of my SILs. I put the glove on and slammed the ball into it a few times while Adam told me the basics on how to catch the ball and where it should land in the glove and etc. I found this rather boring as we were on the couch and removed the glove to find my hand and fingers were black and I hadn’t even been playing for real or sweated in it yet.
On Monday I said lets go! The field across the street was closed for repair so we had to play in front of the high school that goes with the field because I wanted to play on grass. I was very worried about the windows of the classrooms but Adam said not to worry because it was double pained glass anyway. He showed me how to hold my first two fingers on the ball’s seams and where to place my thumb and I started throwing. Apparently I blew him away, I can totally throw. WHO KNEW! He said my accuracy was awesome and we had some serious fun. I hit no glass and no people walking by on the sidewalk. I did take my eye off the ball and lowered my glove for some stupid reason and took one of Adam’s throws in my right leg and it still hurts like a mofo but I will live and it was my fault for dropping my arm and not grabbing the ball along the way. Had I have sucked I am sure I would not have liked it but seeing as I was good and won the praises of my husband I will play catch with him whenever he wants now. It is a seriously good work out, my right bicep and my left quad and hip flexors are still sore but good sore, if only I could throw both handed my ass would be hard as a rock.
Adam told his dad and the guys he worked with that I ruled as well so he wasn’t just saying it to make me feel good. Wicked, another sports related activity we can do together!

I definately like mine clean shaven. No pain/burning to the inner thighs after hours, of well, lets keep this rated PG
So far the vote is 1 to nothing to get rid of the beard!

HAHA when rebecca did this thing that rated blogs by movie ratings mine got NC-17 so no worries on the PG thing.

Hmmm…excellent question to ask. I think that Adam with or without the beard is fantastic. Let him keep it unless it becomes, um, inhibiting.

well, there’s always dental dams.
i hope the lovecakes didn’t suck balls. stubble covered ones or not.

Long time no “see”. Is that the right word? Or is it read?
I tried to go a beard once, but it kind of looked like that. Part of it filled in and part of it grew in sparsely. if the upper and lower lips don’t fill in, then I think he should shave it off. It just looks kind of straggly to me.

His beard looks scruffy, but cute.
What a smart man, to praise you to make you play…I’m jealous because I suck at baseball…but I love it so…TEACH ME (I mean it).

That’s a good man to offer to shave for the sake of your lady bits. I always insist on a clean shaven face and trimmed fingernails before any trips “downtown” by my male companion.
I WILL say that a beard that has grown out for a while is soft and much less abrasive - soft beards just tend to tickle.
You have nice arms with good tone, so I don’t doubt you can pitch a ball well.

I say beard.
I’m bearding at the moment myself, it’s great.
All Because Canckles: Was it not a Canadian that once said,
“Look at all the greats: Chuck Norris, Chewbacca, Jesus… where would they be without the power the draw from thier beards…..”
Go for it sir, think ZZ TOP!

I hope Adam had a good birthday. i tried to log into face book and hotmail but my stupid work has blocked them! I don’t have the net at home because of moving so it was frustrating not to be able to say ‘Happy Birthday’.
My friend H tends to grow a ‘Birthday Beard’. I’m not quite sure why.

OOh, I love baseball wen there’s not bases or batting. Catch is the bestest game ever. Glad to hear that you blew him away with your skillz.

Aw that’s a nice post. Beards are a bit pokey, but so is stubble.

i’ve an affinity for beards that don’t hurt too much when rubbed against skin.
