“Oops, I Forgot to Tell You!” He Said

Silver-thread

Photos and text by: Corey Amaro

Are there silver threads in the silver lining? Because if so I am going to use them to tie around my French Husband's neck. Don't worry, silver threads cannot cause serious pain, it cannot kill him, just sting a little that is all.

You see yesterday evening, after picking enough cherries to feed the world, my hands were stained a deep purple, looking as if they had been in a boxing match. French Husband casually said as I sat pitting cherries, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, we are invited tomorrow evening to the (annual) Big Party that you like."

I looked at my stained hands, then at my stomach bulging with the last month's feast, let alone the ton of cherries that I had inhaled during the day… then had a serious hot flash as I realized my skunk line was/is showing, and I have nothing to wear… I said, "You have got to be kidding me, right?"

"No." He said rather nonchalantly.

I jumped up, grabbed the Clorox, and screamed, "Calgon take me away."

"Who is Calgon?" He asked.

"Help me Rhonda, Help help me, Rhonda!!" I blurted as I scrubbed my hands

French Husband shook his head as if I was crazy and walked away.

I tell you tonight is gonna be a good night.… cloraxed hands, skunk line, bulging stomach with a man straggled with silver threads.

  1. Oh dear, I think I would be more than a little upset too. But I have to say that I cannot WAIT to see the photos of the party – your unique take on the food, people and setting – I have loved your annual posts on this event. Have a wonderful evening, Corey!

    Just fill your pockets with that confidance you wrote about just days ago to ensure a golden evening. No need gloves, whichever colour your hands may be.

  3. That is such a MAN thing! Have a wonderful night and I look forward to the photos>

  4. OOOO! We are all going to the party of the year! I can’t wait to see this year’s pictures. Now, where did I put that spool of silver thread?

  5. Fun! I remember the party last year and can’t wait to see and hear about this year. Enjoy!

  6. I LOVE your post “Big Party” posts! But, oh, FH! Don’t men learn? 24 hour notice? It’s gonna cost him…right?
    Have fun! You are beautiful no matter what you wear or do with your hair!

  7. Yes, I remember the big party as well. Cannot WAIT to see what it’s like this year. You’ll be fabulous – have fun.

  8. I had to go back and check out “the big party”. Hey, that is sooooo not fair. I can’t to see how you pulled this one off. What you wore? Do tell soon.

  9. I never heard of skunk lines, but I have heard of monkey lines (I have those). Yeah, seems like men(my husband) just sit around looking pretty as they get older and we work as hard as ever. I wished I had some of those Cherries.
    Have fun at the party.

  10. oh…have so much fun at the party!!! You are beautiful and will look stunning. Purple fingers? why that is the new look ladies!!
    hugs..sharon

  11. I’m sure you will look lovely at the party! Can’t wait to hear all about it. Yann is such a sweetie. Don’t pull the silver thread too tight!

    Corey, you can do this! Oh gosh, 10 am my time means 4 pm your time . . .you must have already done it. Did you take care of the root problem first? How did you find a dress? That black number you wore in Paris was very attractive, could you add some new jewelry to that? I have faith, I’m sure you pulled it off, no doubt. If you are reading this before you go, relax and enjoy yourself . . .you’re marvelous darling!!!

    Where are your red gloves?
    To remove stains, lemon juice works really well. Maybe they will dim the lights and noone will notice the skunk line.
    Cannot wait to see the pictures!

  14. You will be a vision of bleached bloat! Enjoy!

    Well, I wasn’t around last year so I’m really looking forward to seeing pix and reading all about it. Sounds like loads of fun!! You will be just fine. You always look so nice and neat in pix we see of you; just don’t get any blood on that new outfit when you pull the silver thread.

  16. OH, THAT PARTY!!!!! Your little black dress will complement the silver threads around FH’s neck perfectly…………and have some serious fun while you’re there 🙂

  17. Men! 🙂
    I know you’ll do just fine.
    Enjoy the evening, clickclickclick! 🙂

  18. Wear lot’s of color. Pink, pink and more pink. You’ll look beautiful in a sea of black.

  19. Funniest post I’ve ever read by you. Thanks for starting my morning off with a hearty chuckle. 🙂

  20. Typical male 🙂 I hope you make it and cannot wait to see the photos.. FH must think you are one “crazy” woman 🙂

  21. Julie Ann Evins

    You see men. No idea at all. Probably still in the dark. I am sure you will have a fabulous time regardless and bien sur I cannot wait to see the pix, Jx

  22. I must respectfully disagree with ThroughtheMilkhouseDoor at 06:26 PM. Pink is such an “in” color this season (at least according to “Paris Breakfasts”) that I’d recommend NOT wearing it (or black, for that matter). Corey, you must surely have other colors in your closet, maybe one that no one else is likely to wear this evening. And I can’t believe that eating fresh fruit would make you fat, either 🙂

  23. Just think of the conversations that you can start over the color of your hands!

  24. Corey, I just received my sweet little box. I love it!!
    I’m so sorry about your hands, but I’m sure you will be beautiful! And like someone said above they will make a great conversation piece.

  25. Beautiful man but he doesn’t have a clue does he!
    I’m sure you can look ravishing for tomorrow!

  26. Corey, maybe apply red nail polish and wear a wonderful summer hat?! No matter what, it will be an awesome night…as always.

  27. Natalie Thiele

    I know you will think of something, you always do.
    Can hardly wait to see this year’s photos. Have a great time!

  28. Maybe you could pull off a hat??? Gloves??? Good luck and I know you will look amazing. Can’t wait to see the party pictures. And, yes you can hang your husband, but instead of wasting the beautiful threads, please sell those beautiful threads to me!

    mini skirt + deep cleavage = no hands !
    Enjoy THE party !!!

  30. I’m here I’m here, it’s me Rhonda, I’ll help. LOL
    I totally know how you are feeling. Been there, I can’t tell you how many times. This actually sounds exactly like one of my stories.

    PS I loved the lace, it is beautiful!
