Date Night

I love my high heeled shoes.



Once I turned 40, I decided that I wanted to wear them before I got too old to enjoy them.  Now I'm worried that I might break a hip.


Saturday night I asked Robert if he'd watch the kids so that we could go to Gumbo's in Downtown Denver before they close forever!

I watched his cat for 10 days recently so he didn't dare say no to me.

I wore a cute red top, my new turquoise necklace from Charming Charlies, my sexy jeans and my new tan booties. 

I looked hot!

I thought we'd park close to the restaurant.

I forgot that iKeith has a favorite parking lot and that he doesn't do well with change.

I had to walk.

 I got blisters....and wrapped my feet in toilet paper in the restaurant bathroom.

This was a huge mess later.

He wanted to walk around and cursed my shoe choice. 

I begged him to go back to the car.

Our date nights always end badly.... 




I'm linking up with Shawn and Impulsive Addict for Talk to Us Tuesday.

  1. Bandaids, bandaids, bandaids. They aren't just to cover up your headlights when you go braless. :o) Put them on your heels before you wear new shoes! They are a LOT less noticable than TP stuffed in the backs. ;o)

  3. Connie - I constantly aggravate my husband with my shoe choices. I always choose fashion over pain and discomfort (and I always wish I did the opposite. You'd think I'd learn eventually....

  4. Oh. Mah. Gah.
    You two are stinkin' adorable!
    I love it! iKeith is NOT gonna mess that one up! He loves his women full bodied! LOL
    You are just too cute and I'm sure that iKeith would love you even if you wore old house slippers to dinner. :)

  5. So I've lived in Denver for three years now and I've never been to either of those spots! I guess I missed out on Gumbo's. And who was your little gremlin cameraman?!

  7. Have I told you lately how much I adore you? You and iKeith are super cute! Your video was perfect...just like always! I love that he likes your "full body". And that curdled drink made me gag a tiny bit. Why does he torture himself?

    I hope your blisters are better now. I totally choose fashion over comfort. I have blisters from running right now. They hurt like a mother. I'm hoping to wear cute shoes while I'm visiting Shawn. You know she has TONS of cute footwear.

    THANK YOU for linking up! Me ♥ you long time.

  9. OH MY GAWD! You're killing me!

    Why did iKeith keep looking over his left shoulder? Was he embarrassed that you were videoing your date? Tell him not to worry, it would have made me squirm a little too!

    Love a full bodies wine and what the hell was that drink that made him shutter? I'm gaging!

    You looked stunning my friend, I'm glad you were able to get in a date, they are so important!

    Thanks for linking up...me love you longer time!

  10. Fashion before comfort! ;) I can totally relate to this!

    Can't see your video on my phone but will make rounds tomorrow...err today technically. I should really go to bed now.

  11. I totally did this on our last fancy dinner date to the city. I don't know WHAT I was thinking because we took public transportation and I knew there would be walking. Why do we punish our feet so?

  12. Yay for the vlog (well done!) Boo for the shoes. Did you know I have 2 scabs on the backs of my heels that have been there since my last date night? But the shoes are so cute, despite all my whining I refuse to get rid of them.

  13. I too know that pain of wearing cute shoes on a date and then walking all over God's green earth with them on. It sucks. My feet hate me. But those shoes are damn cute.

  14. That nasty thing that iKeith was drinking was called a Belfast Car Bomb. It was a beer with a little shot of something that you put in the beer and it made it curdle. GROSS!

    I will be going to the store to buy BLISTER BLOCK today!

  15. OH! You guys are so cute! I had to laugh when you were asking if y'all even knew how to date anymore. Lord knows Jeremy and I wouldn't even know what to do on a date!

    Love your shoes . . . even if the blisters accompany. Bummer :(

  16. Those shoes are way cute!
    My hubby and I have fun trying to find things to talk about on dates that don't involve the kids too. Of course we don't get out all that often either.

  17. As promised, I've returned to watch your vlog...HILARZ!

    I love you and your hubby together! You guys are adorable. Is he always cheesing & so agreeable? I like him!

    ReplyDelete
  18. You and iKeith are so much fun together!! My hubby never would have let me do that.

    huh. maybe I should try to see his stoic reaction....

    Tell iKeith that I did a car bomb on a pub crawl in Dublin 2 years ago - YOU HAVE TO SHOOT IT...not sip it!! No wonder he was shuddering! I beat 2 guys in a drinking contest. And I don't quite remember much of that night after than either.

  19. Man, I love sexy shoes but they always end in tragedy!

  20. Boooo! My 16-year-old cleaned out her closet this weekend and found her FAVORITE pair of heels she'd been missing for a solid year. She wore them to school yesterday (she walks!) and came home with GIANT blisters. I'm really shocked she didn't pack a pair of sneakers to change into, or something!

  21. What IS is with these guys of ours who park so far from the restaurant that we are bleeding by the time we get to the door?! You looked fab and I keep forgetting to tell you how much I LOVE your bangs. I also love that you can put together these fabulous videos.

  22. I'm still having nightmares about that blister I got at BlogHer. I may never wear heels again.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Blisters, ouch! I hate it when I wear the wrong shoes. Oh what am I saying, cute shoes any day!

    You are one hot mama!! Love that necklace!!

  24. If he wanted to walk around, couldn't he have given you a piggy back ride??

  25. Ok I just had a quiet moment to watch your video - you showed that cabernet and my mouth started watering, and THEN you brought out the ettouffe - BITCH! Lol! :) You lost me at the Rolling Rock though. Beer is too filling :)

    You guys are SO cute and I hope we can meet ALL of you someday! We'd have fun, no doubt.

    Now the shoes? Last year I discovered the beauty of the platform - do you have any? If not, MAGIC :) High heels without all the pain! And I hate breaking in pretty shoes, oh the agony :(

    Love your lace-up suede (?) ones. I want a pair.
