when your husband tweets

by 267 Comments

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.

    L*O*V*E* that you shared this story!!!

    too cute. i’ve been a follower for just a short while & just love reading your posts. one of my “real life friends” (pearls and grace) met you yesterday @ blissdom she called to give me the scoop. i gasped when she told me she met you, and then i asked “if you were wearing turquoise?” i had major blog celebrity envy going on.

    your outfit is just darling!

    have fun today.

    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!

    How funny. Sounds like something my husband would do.

    BTW…you look lovely in that dress, even if it was about to fall apart.

    Have fun. Amy
