when your husband tweets

remember this sweater and vintage skirt

that I hacked up to make a dress for blissdom?

well, i didn’t finish it.

i basted it together and threw it in my suitcase

hoping to shop and find a real dress

before i got here.

i’ve been having way too much fun with all my

new/old  blog friends to shop

so i wore it anyway—
bliss

–and tweeted this picture right before we left

for the harry connick jr concert

and i ended the tweet with ‘don’t pull on it’

because this dress was literally hanging

by a thread.

to my pleasant surprise my twitter-savvy-hunk

of-a-husband, who

is currently attending a very serious church meeting

in atlanta,  tweeted me back with this:

shut.up.

i am still chuckling

and greatly anticipating my arrival back home.

post-edit:  my great friend patty at blessed moon, who I begged to come to blissdom with me,  is having a “i’m not at blissdom blog-hop”  where you can introduce yourself and link up, so go and introduce yourself  and link up!  see you soon with lots of blissdom pics.  i wish you all were here.

    Aren’t those the best little surprises and gifts in life when our men get the chance to tease us a little? They sure do know how to make us want to hurry up and get home, don’t they? Hope you’re having a blast!

    Love your blog, I just stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and I’m hooked! Love the tweets! I’ve been blessed to be married to the same hunky guy for almost 29 years; and yes, he still flirts shamelessly with me–and I love it!
