i remember my prom night like it was three nights ago.

i went out friday night. because mommyologist decided to host a prom. (which i found out about via lisa over at two bears farm. i'm her chicken's godmother. anyway.) the theme was "mom sexy prom". i sure am glad my high school prom theme wasn't the same as that.

basically, mommyologist sent out a challenge (to moms) to dress up in something we don't get to wear everyday. something that makes us feel sexy. participation in this sort of thing isn't the norm for me. however, as with any prom, there will be a mom sexy prom queen. i'm not too concerned with the title. but there's no doubt i want a tiara. and that's what mommyologist is sending to the winner.

so i got all dressed up in my favorite dress (which i've worn only once prior). put on some silly bandz. added a touch of glittery purple toenail polish and matching mascara. and jumped off my dock (into the grass, not the water. i haven't completely lost it. yet). because, to me, sexy is about having fun. also. yes, i have no shoes on. and while i've said it several times before, i'll say it again. my feet are fine. it's yours i have a problem with.



after my jumping spree, i washed my feet and decided i was going to have a talk with my neighbor about picking up after his dogs. then i went to meet my date for the evening. that would be vanessafriend. she wants to win mom sexy prom queen, too. she probably will. because i'm so pathetic. <--- portraying low self esteem in order to get the pity vote thereby raising my chances of winning.


we started the evening out at the theatre. and i can spell it that way because they had a doorman. we saw the foreign film classic: karate kid (with jackie chan and jaden smith). i really liked the movie, to my surprise. especially the parts where they were speaking in chinese and not translating it onto the screen. vanessafriend wanted to know what they were saying so i translated for her. in short, they were shouting out the ingredients to special dragon moo goo gai pan. hold your gasps. i'm allowed to make jokes like this because of my ancestry.



we enjoyed fine dining, too. i had a bacon wrapped filet mignon. aka. the baconator from wendy's. vanessafriend ordered fries which she intended on dipping into a chocolate frosty. she was completely sober.



we also went to barnes & noble. what kind of prom would it be without books? exactly. plus. it was the only place still open at 10pm. don't rub your eyes. i wrote the time down correctly. everything closes at dusk here.



and there you have it. my mom sexy prom night. it was a blast. speaking of which. i should have told wendy's to hold the cheese.

I took a jumping picture just for fun. Not really, because I don't have a dock, so I would've had to have jumped off the couch or something.

Thank you for going to prom with me. (Next time: corsages.)

This is gonna feel a little weird but here goes...I said something like:

Wow! (I think) This is awesome! (yeah, pretty sure I said that) This is one of the best (um, maybe newly added) and it will never get old (reference) and will be remanbered (sheesh) forever!

You're so pudi too! (man, writing that twice stinks)

Then I said something about being tired or something, and being jealous...excuses for the lame words.

Then I said Beef.

Beef.

What a fun post, and sounds like a fun night out! Love the book choice... Lord of the Flies?

fiberdoodles said...

My Life Under the Bus said...

Awesome jump - you should get points for that. I did a cartwheel the first day of school and couldn't walk for a week. Also - how have Silly Bands infested absolutely everywear ???? .....and why didn't I think of them ?

varunner said...

First, I love your dress. Definitely sexy. But mostly because it totally matches Elvis. You did that on purpose, right?

Second, fries in a Frosty are just wrong.

Dee Crowe said...

FUN! Also, I read lord of the flies...its good.

This post gets a two thumbs up...and your sooo going to win..erm..winn...!

janet said...

Funny..Funny post! Uh...you do know 'Lord of the Flies' is not about mens pants zippers...you do know that...right?????

leigh said...

You look real purty.

Mindy said...

I love your post and seeing how much fun you and your date clearly had.

The Mommyologist said...

I love that the two of you got all dressed up and went out!! Such a fun idea for Mom Sexy prom! GREAT dress too!! Black and white is a total trend at this prom!!

Thanks for helping me bring back Mom Sexy!

LambAround said...

Barnes and Noble, eh? You sound like my cup of tea!
Love that last photo. Very fun! :)

Salt said...

Oh no not cheese!!! I hope you're ok today. It sounds like a super time was had and I love your dress. And the picture of you jumping. Mostly because I'm so jealous that you can jump like that and every time I try to do it, I almost break my leg.

Katina said...

Hey there! Proming with a BFF is soooo fun! Visiting from one Mom Sexy promer to another!! www.peacefuldivas.com

Brittney said...

aww great pic! Prom with the bestie is amazing..why didnt i think of that LOL!

Heligirl said...

I totally love that you guys went and made a date out of it. I'm jealous. And the jumping picture is fab. I'm afraid if I tried that I'd end up hitting something on my way down (or up) then land on my face and wreck the dress. Which would be bad since it's for a wedding in October. You rock!

Erin said...

You, my dear, are AWESOME.

I am your newest follower and thank you for finding me first through the prom posts...

I heart Wendy's fries. OMG. I love that you're not wearing shoes, and I"m not surprised you have a problem with my feet because they're hideous. Hence the reason I'm wearing heels to my prom. Heels that have never been worn before. lol

JDaniel4's Mom said...

This sounds like such a fun project. You should have had soggy fish with your bacon burger.

Teddy Started It said...

I didn't go to prom, but I did wear my tiara to the movies yesterday. I live in Dallas, a Mom can do things like that here. Even on Father's day.

I hope you get your own tiara one day. They give you secret powers, you know.

Andrea (ace1028) said...

Love these pics! Sounds like THE perfect prom. Seriously. Barnes and Noble is all I could ask for. :)

Jeannette said...

That last picture looks so liberating! I love it!

angie128 said...

You are quite a jumper. Were you a cheerleader?

I cannot jump. Nor was I a cheerleader.

MiMi said...

I have to vote for both of you. Is that against the law?
Fries in a frosty? That gets extra points. Tell me you love them.

Small Burst said...

looks like you had a great time! Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day and making me feel special!

5thsister said...

Might I add, you look marvelous darling! I do believe the joy you are showing gives you an extra sexy edge. It is so nice to meet you!

Moxie Momma said...

I love that you went to Barnes and Noble...would have been my choice too.
Just popping in from the Mom Sexy Prom 2010. Great to have you at the party!

Jenny said...

It sounds like a wonderful time!!

Michelle aka GirlyGirlBead said...

As usual, you just crack me up. Love the picture and hope you win your tiara. French fries and chocolate frosties are the bomb! I lived on that combo in high school.

Donda said...

That was fun now I want to break out my daughter's prom dress and go get a #2 combo!

sillie smile said...

RN Mama said...

Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip said...

The Mayor! said...

OMG, how on earth did you get that shot?? Totally cool! Your prom night sounds like it was a blast, love it! Found you thru Mommyologist! :-D

Rachel said...

cute shot! i remember my highschool prom was so lame, and I'm glad that in my life, I went to several parties and events that gave me me the feeling that I was having another shot at prom :)

I love your dock and yard!!

At my actual prom, my bf thought it would be funny to show up wearing a gigantic red velvet bow tie to show just what a rebel he was. I had no sense of humor. But, for sexy mom prom, a giant red velvet bow tie would be just perfect, no?

Stacey Smith said...

Okay, I'm here because SITS featured you. I love this post, love your attitude . . . and so I'm gonna follow.

Congrats! On being featured

chele said...

Baconater ... mmmmmmmmm ... geez, I can't remember the last time I had a burger ...

Shana said...

oh my god...so freaking funny. I swear I almost spit soda at my monitor.

Jenn Erickson said...

Great adventure! Wonderful photos! Sounds like more fun than a high school prom. Ahhh, prom & youth are wasted on the young! Jenn

Kim said...

It sounds like fun? Who won the tiara?

Andrea said...

Sounds like a great prom night! You are too funny girl, you should go on and write a book...or turn your blog into a book. You'd make some serious money.
