Off Color romance with Big daddy...an anniversary surprise

Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Connors. Love is when you realize that he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford - but you'll take him anyway.- Judith Viorst

It is your lucky Sunday---time for another one of my infamous "Big Daddy" posts.

As many of you may know by now, life with "Big Daddy" is never dull--it is always an "off color" adventure waiting to unfold.  This one....well it is one of my favorites, right up there with the black bathing suit at the water park.

So on with the "off color" tale....

please note....

with any "Big Daddy" story....

Readers...beware...the story may and will get a bit off-color....

It was several years ago...

back

when off color son and off color daughter were barely three and four.

We'd been busy being exhausted as new parents in our mid thirties.....

tired, worn-down, in desperate need of a nap

when

our anniversary suddenly approaches.

In years past,

Mama Dee and Papa, "big Daddy's parents" had graciously

exchanged houses with us.  They slept at our house for a night

so we didn't have to rent a u-haul to bring the accessories necessary for

two energetic toddlers.  We'd use their clean house for our

anniversary "love shack".

So....anniversary approaching and Big Daddy tells me he is going to take the "off color" off s to mama Dee's and papa's early.  

I got up in my pj's looking "fabulous" in my early morning hair.  I sat down on the couch and realized Big Daddy had already left....

leaving behind a steaming cup of coffee and folded newspaper.

I noticed red writing on the front of the news paper

and

continued my read.

It said,

"for a good time......read the classified ads".

I sipped my coffee and sat down...

as i found the classified section,

I noticed that the personals were circled.

I read on...

"Looking for a pumpkin butt (big daddy's nickname for me) to celebrate an anniversary with....

you adventure starts at...and lists an address..."

I take my shower and proceed to the address...

It is a floral shop.

I walk in..

newspaper in hand..

and

the shop owner says, "Are you....?"

I nod...

"your husband is the sweetest.....he's prepared an afternoon adventure for you which begins here...."

she hands me an angel box and a red rose.

I'm quite sure my face looked puzzled and she said,

"I think he left you a clue..."

I opened the box and inside was a hand written note from Big Daddy...

now that your adventure has started,

let's see if we can find you something

"sexy and hot" to wear.....

proceed to....

I feel myself blush a bit....yes even sexy hot mama can turn a bit red when a floral shop woman is staring over her shoulder....

The next clue takes me all the way across town to a clothing store.

I go inside and walk around a bit,

looking for some type of clue...

suddenly a college aged boy approaches me...

He said,

"are you looking for a clue"

I nod...

he hands me an envelope...

"take this gift card and buy yourself something sexy to wear....

and

then open the next envelope to proceed."

I spend a bit of time,

searching for something

that

fit my stretched out post two pregnancy body that might look sexy,

made my purchase and

went back to the car....

omg, I'm thinking...

what in the world will he do next....

i open the envelope...

"Proceed to..............address.

When you check in you need to ask for a key to

Harry Peter's room."

like I said,

never know what Big Daddy will do next.

I arrive at the location...

not some shabby out of the way

dive,

but the new Hilton..

I can't remember who was behind the counter,

but

 do recall being very nervous asking for a key to

"Mr. Peters" room.

It is on the top floor.....

I insert the key...

Big Daddy meets me in a room full of window....

and

the

fun began.....

As I have said before...

Life with Big Daddy is never dull...

and

one mornings I'm having a bit of writers block due to the lack of caffeine in my system...

well he makes for a quick and easy............write.

My wish for all of you is that

someday...

somewhere...

your big daddy or sexy hot mama

gives you a

anniversary surprise

that will top Big daddy's...

If your lucky...

one morning when I have writer's block again,

I'll retell the tale

of

the

"surprise renewal of vows for our tenth...."

Happy Sunday..

hugs and blessings...
