I don't know whether to be flattered or repulsed. Jackson and I were recently in a department store where I was frantically trying on dresses for the next big IHOP social event. The Misses section was definitely too frumpy, so I opted to try out Juniors. As Jackson is waiting patiently outside the fitting room for dear old mom, I hear the sales clerk start a conversation with him...
"So, is it for the prom?"
"Uh, no, a friend of mine is getting married."
"Oh, because those are prom dresses she is trying on."
I laughed so hard I nearly soiled myself. Did this woman actually believe I was dating my son?? I know that Nicole Miller Eye Cream is great, but cmon, I'm no spring chicken anymore.
Needless to say, I was more than aware of our previous outing when we went on a true mother-son date last night. We discovered a new Bohlender favorite -- PeiWei Asian Diner, the Chipotle of Oriental cuisine -- hip, cheap and yummy. Most definitely a rival of the Sliker's fav BoLing's. We then trotted over to the 'pot (that's Home Depot for those of you not familiar with language in the slopes) to pick up a few last minute items for a project or two around ye ole Bohlender Casa.
No one looked twice at the two of us last night. Whew. Perhaps it was because I wasn't wearing my prom dress. Or maybe I forgot my eye cream. Either way, it was good.
Oh, and I wore a borrowed dress to the fashionable event. Give a clap for Tracie Loux -- how fun is it to raid the closet of a friend who is so doggone cute?!?!! I recommend her jewelry box too......just don't ask where she gets it all. You would never believe her anyway.

Kels,
You're blogging, I quit checking a while back, but noticed your hubby decided to Link You again, so I says to myself, "the girl must be blogging", what fun for me, especially since we may really never see each other again until the girls are two, really I hope not. (Run-on sentence intentional to emphasize my excitement!)
Anyway, I think I need a pic of you in that cute green dress! The jewelry, well, we'll leave them all wondering about my too strange to speak secret!
Very fun- all the way around...prom dress, food night, borrowing stuff from your cute friend.
Hmm, makes me want to dress up and go out!
thanks for sharing your family
