My handsome husband....God Bless him.....could not join us for last nights dinner party.....he was working.....which is a good thing ......cause who knows where we'd be living if I had to earn the paycheck around here....(artist colony?....commune?....raft?)....but when we arrived home (with a dinner plate full of food for him mind you...) he said "Sweet baby Jesus....why did you wear that? That's a little much don't you think? That's ridiculous.....Did anybody see you in that?"
See....that Friday bbq that we were invited to? As it turned out it wasn't a bbq....it was more of a Mexican Fiesta with bruschetta.....(had I only known I could of worn the proper attire and brought a pinata) the girl who lives here wanted to know if we should put "nice clothes on" for dinner......Ummmm...bad thing to ask your costume loving mother.......so I said "SURE.....let's wear something nice"...

....Considering the fact that I only own 1....... count 'em 1 "real dress" ......I call it the funeral dress.....cause that's all I wear it to....my options are pretty limited....and I figured hey....it's almost fall.....and I'm bringing corn....what kinda outfit goes with corn?
Ahhhh.....wait a minute...I have just the thing.
Here I am checking out one of their fine heads of lettuce......in my Pilgrim outfit I snatched up at the Church rummage sale last year for $3
PERFECT!
They have melons......I don't even have melons.....I'm jealous.
I was telling the host and hostess about my upcoming Sausage stuffing party....telling them how I already had my costume.....and that although "dressing up" is optional at my party.....
costumes are highly recommended....
He just kinda laughed and said "when would I ever wear lederhosen again?"
Are you kidding me?
I've already worn my pilgrim getup 4 times....
I'm sure he will find another occasion to wear lederhosen.....

Oh my lands, you crack me up! And your husband sounds just like mine---thoughtlessly blunt and easily embarrassed. They need us crazy ladies to keep them limber, me thinks.
ReplyDeleteTrust me...they need us.....I have no doubt about that. Sometimes I find it quite amazing that they are able to get in the car and drive somewhere all by themselves.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you'll see this comment since your post is so old, but I love your blog so much I had to go back to the beginning to read it all. I was hoping to get some hints on all the nicknames (no luck, but that's okay). Seriously, I can't get enough. It's like a good book to me and I want to keep reading. Anyway, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at this page. You crack me up!!!
