For my husband's birthday back in October I decided that I would be his present to unwrap. I've been working out religiously with Jillian and it was time that he reap the rewards of my new found physique!
My lingerie wardrobe consists of 100% cotton night shirts with spaghetti straps trimmed with lace, the color of pink and Disney prints on the front, and to really get racy some have a slit up the side! ( I know, so fantastically hot right?) I figured that maybe it's time to spice things up a bit and maybe add some red into my repertoire. I recruit my shopping partner in crime and off we go with the kids to the Big City to find my husband a present!
Just by habit I go straight for the cotton nightgowns, (there were new colors and prints! Red with white polka dots!) YES! My girlfriend, politely pulls me in the direction of the not -so- mom side of the store.....oh....(.I thought this part was only for women that haven't pushed a 7 or 8 pound human being out of their "hoo ha"!) I was quickly assured that it is okay, this is what he will want to see me in! Putting all of my trust in her, we pick out a little something, and another and another. Apparently all these parts go together to make one outfit!
I proceed to the dressing room, look at all the pieces and put it together like a puzzle. The top is a black bustier and the bottom piece is something called a garter belt. Hmmmmm...... I force myself into the bustier, and slip on the belt. Standing back looking at myself in the mirror, I ask through the door,
"Ummm, am I supposed to look like a stuffed sausage in this?"
"Let me see, I'm sure it's not that bad."
"Okay, here goes...."
"Right. Well let me just go see if they have the next size up, your boobs should not look like one."
Off she goes and finds the size, I put that one on and it looked a little better, certainly not a free flowing night gown, but not bad! I take it off and am ready to buy it, trying to hurry before I lose my nerve completely. But we aren't done yet, we need to add stockings to the ensemble! 10 minutes later I think I have what I need and finish the sale.
This is going to be the best $ 78 he has ever spent for his birthday!
We make it home and I am so excited to surprise him with the unexpected, feeling really good about myself, that's right, two kids and the stretch marks to prove it, I'll BLOW his MIND!
