Dress of Hotness was silk, gorgeous, and so on sale you wouldn’t believe it. You can’t see the pretty purple bow on the side. Now, squint at the shoes. Didn’t work? Okay, try here. I already had the shoes from my friend’s wedding last year, so they were free. Well, not last year, but for this date. (Doesn’t that make sense? It does in my head.)
So, we’re dressed all up, and are checking into the hotel, and I realize that the man checking us in is someone Mike has met – I have not – and he’s the owner of the hotel. Finally the man asks if he knows us from somewhere. (and WHY are we checking into a hotel in our hometown all dressed up, is probably the other thing he’s wondering)
Mike says, "Oh yes. Hi. Um, we’re so and so, and our kid is friend with your kid, and we met back in…. blah blah blah." He just starts blah-ing on. And then ends with, "And this is Kim."
Hello? That’s our kid’s name. THe kid he has just referred to in the preceding sentences, so now Hotel Man is really looking confused. And I poke Mike in the side to jolt him back into remembering that I am NOT HIS DAUGHTER.
Ew, not romantic.
A giant red flush creeps up Mike’s neck, to his cheeks, and he stammers, "Um, Kelsey. Her name is Kelsey. Uh, she’s… my wife."
The man is smooth, no?
I love you.

7:10 am
Love the dress! Love the shoes! You two look very happy.
8:47 am
You look beautiful! Hope things return to “normal” in your schedule soon. Blessings!
8:48 am
Great dress!! Cute Shoes!! I bet it was nice to get away and enjoy some alone time!!
8:55 am
You guys look fabulous together. So glad you had that time!
9:00 am
Schnazzy! You look beautful, and the shoes and dress are great.
9:39 am
Ooooo you are one hot mama!! I hope the date was great!
10:06 am
Y’all look so happy! Beautiful dress, beautiful smile — and oh, those shoes! You look like a fabulous chick-lit author.
10:40 am
OK. No one commented on your funny story. I love the dress and the shoes but that’s funny. I think that situation is quite humurous…him saying your kids name and stammering, and recouping, and…yeah. Made me laugh. I could see my husband doing that.
12:17 pm
I love that dress and the shoes:)) You two are a great looking couple!! I hope things are all going to be fine very soon:)
12:17 pm
Love a hot dress and good shoes! And on sale? It doesn’t get much better, girl.
12:55 pm
May I first say “hubba hubba”.
Now as to the story. Surely, you realize that for men, that IS subtle.
2:02 pm
Look at YOU! Poor guy,, no wonder he was stammering! Didn’t probably know who HE was when seeing you in that way too hot dress! GREAT FIND by the way!
LOL about the guy at the hotel! Figures huh?
2:30 pm
Holy HOT Mammas, Batman!
Great shoes… and I’m with you on your “free” train of thought … all the way!
I have a girlfriend who went out on a “dinner date” with her husband, and he ran into someone he went to High School with, and left her sitting at the table ALONE for 1/2 hour while he “caught up” with his chum … SO NOT COOLEEEOOO!
3:14 pm
Love the dress! I’m SO laughing at your dh though. Whatta Man.
3:19 pm
Love the dress! Love the shoes! You look great!
4:16 pm
Hot, hot, hot. And I love the baby toy on the floor in the background–perfect!
5:09 pm
You (two together) couldn’t be cuter! (And I love that your dress is both hot and decent.)
Just think. If he hadn’t said that, you wouldn’t have that great story. Who would make something like that up?
5:29 pm
Awww you look gorgeousss!
You and Mike look so cute together, and he is hilarious, but I guess it wasn’t so hilarious when that man thought you were Kim haha
Nat and Petey

The dress is gorgeous, the shoes divine. But your husband’s faux pas …. priceless!
7:30 pm
The dress is lovely, the shoes are stunning, and you two are just too stinkin’ cute!!
I have to agree with Corina; the poor man was probably a bit distracted. I think it’s kinda cute when they get all stammery like that.
7:39 pm
LOL at hubby’s faux pas. I agree, his mind must have been more on how hot and gorgeous were the shoes, the dress, and lovely *you* than on what he was saying to Hotel Man.
9:39 pm
You definitely look great in the Dress of Hotness and the Shoes of Gorgeousness, absolutely fabulous darling! Poor Mike, he must have felt so foolish.
9:54 pm
Not his daughter. Ha. That must have been SOME dress.:)
10:47 pm
bwa-ha-ha – my dad once introduced me as his wife (I’m sure out of habit). To his credit, he did use HER name. We both cracked up…as did the slightly surprised guy I was just introduced to.
10:48 pm
Yep, I’d say his thoughts were definitely distracted.
10:52 pm
You looked “Simply Maaahvelous”, both of you,
.
You should make your “play date” a regular thing.
And the Oops moment was hilarious.
12:52 am
Thanks for sharing…ya’ll look great! I personally love the matching finger polish! You know it’s a good night when you get the time to paint the nails!! Glad you had a great getaway.
9:29 am
Very hot dress, shoes and Mama (I won’t comment on your hubby because mine’s the hottest! Hahaha! You know what I mean… but goodness gracious, our men look a lot alike!)… Anyway, so glad you had the weekend away and ALONE.
12:35 pm
(Billy Crystal voice here) “You Look Marvelous Dahling!”
Praise God that you were able to pull everything off – sitter, fab dress and killer shoes. Double praise for the dress being on sale!!!
Now admit it, the Mike moment was something to laugh about… You won’t forget the date now!
May you have many more chances for Mike to get your name right at the hotel.
7:11 pm
HOT HOT HOT – except the mistake with your name! LOL Oh – so funny. Well, at least as Shalee said, you own’t forget the date now!
And as Beth would say, that dress is a blessing! Double blessing for being on sale! See the Lord is looking out for all you needs! (and the shoesare soooo sexy – I am trying so hard to not buy them RIGHT NOW!!)
11:24 pm
Woohoo! Hot looking couple! I can’t remember the last time we dressed up. I think we’re due.
