bonus points
It’s been pretty cold the past few days here on Bainbridge Island, off the coast of Seattle. Cold enough for my friend to turn on the seat warmers in her SUV. I tend to be cold all the time, so I thoroughly enjoyed being heated from the bottom up.
With only the front seats fitted with this feature, Niel was missing out in the back seat. I kept telling him how great it was and that it was too bad he wasn’t able to experience it.
We parked at the restaurant and as I climbed out of the car, I excitedly told Niel, “Seriously. Feel my butt. It’s so hot!”
“Baby… your butt is always hot.”
My cheeks (the ones on my face!) instantly turned red and I started laughing. I turned around and gave Niel a high-five. My hombre certainly earned some bonus points with that one.

Good one Niel!!!!
What a romantic you have?
:) :)
LOL….sounds like a keeper. My brother lived in snohomish and recently moved to something er other island up there…we’re planning a trip in the fall. You guys are still cold??? We’re gonna be over 100 the next couple of days…maybe we’ll head up now!!! :lol:
@danielleH says:
:shock: that’s awesome.
he sure loves you!
you guys are great.
just think what would have happened if the dashboard heaters were a’blowin?!?!
[...awkward....]
Very cute!!!
@tamhodge says:
Oh that is smooth.
real smooth!
There is nothing like a missionary asking her missionary husband to feel her hot butt. Just love it.
yup…..that’s a response that is well appropriate from your hubby! Too cute!
heidi — only on the weekends…
debs — it’s been chilly up in this neck of the woods. supposed to hit the 80′s this weekend, though… just in time for us to fly to NY. sigh.
cathi — you made me laugh out loud with that one! “you gotta feel these, honey!”
cindy — ha ha! they didn’t name it the “missionary position” for nothing! (oh boy. did i really just type that?!?!)
@atangie says:
alEEEEce!! 8-0
that’s the stuff strong solid Christian marriages are founded upon.
You and mom are BOTH always cold. You could always do what she does…you know, the Yoda thing!
Its nice to always have your hubby “behind” you! “Bottoms up!” on this one.
@ventigrace says:
You’ve got all sorts of hottness going on :)
BTW- my follow up apt today was great… numbers looked good… she’s staying put till your arrival :)
Definite bonus points for Niel. Love can keep you warm anywhere. I will be even more impressed if he let you have the “hot seat” again when you got back in the SUV. :)
Kehehe.
[mental note: Cathi, don't forget to buy a car w/ heated seats]
Alece, I just have to say that your comments are almost as good as the blogs! You seriously crack me up!!
cathi- i laughed so hard. thanks for commenting that.
can Niel give husband lessons? i would like to think mine could go to Niel’s husband school before i meet him.
“Love can keep you warm anywhere” – Edfromct.
I’m sayin nuttin! ::Nudge, nudge. wink,wink::
I still think Niel deserves a puppy!
<B
A high five was truly an appropriate way to celebrate such a moment.
Selah.
hey…if you’re still awake [it's thurs night]…hop over to Mandy’s blog. We’re bombarding her w/ comments before she comes home tomorrow by playing the game where you list the first word that comes to mind after reading the previous comment…come over and play!!!
AH HA HA HA!! That is hilarious! And TOTALLY something Jake would say. I think they might be related. :shock: HA!
We have heated seats too and for me, they are not neccessary…. I’m always burning up….but I have a feeling in the dead of winter here, I’ll appreciate them much more. ;-)
:D ohmigosh, this is fantastic. i’m a bit proud of nielbob. and NO, i can’t believe you typed that, ‘lece! aghhhhh! hahahaha!
Think maybe I’m going to sit this one out…
ha ha ha! i’m still cracking myself up over my last comment up there. boy oh boy…
and come on, NE! don’t let me scare you silent!
@20BOLD11 says:
Lotsa points for that one!!!!!
Iloved this post and this blog.
Have a nice day
Hey, Alece. I’m not scared. Just…trying to behave meself!
ALECE: they didn’t name it the “missionary position” for nothing! (oh boy. did i really just type that?!?!)
OH. MY. GOSH. :shock: the bug eye guy is sooooo needed for that one!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome! HAHAA!!
david – welcome! glad you enjoyed the post!
NE — aaaah… hmmm… seems like i’ve done enough misbehaving for both of us today.
brandy – ha ha ha. i’m glad it made you laugh so much. and yes. you’re right. bug-eyed guy would be absolutely appropriate. that right there makes me teeter-totter on my decision to ickshnay the smileys from my blog!
@tamhodge says:
it must be innuendos week in blogdom. what a riot!
hmmm….I’ve always wanted hot abs. that might look awkward in the front heated seat of a car though. I’m many things but contortionist is not one of them.
now THAT’S hot!!!
that was quite the mental picture you gave me there, tam!
@mandythompson says:
my old car had seat warmers. i’d give anything to have them back.
last time we went snow-tubing, we were out for a LOOOONG time.
and an hour after i’d gotten in and changed, my butt was STILL cold, so i made drew stick his hand down the back of my pants and feel how cold my butt was.
LOL
@mandythompson says:
you should probably delete that right there. up there. that. about drew sticking his hand in my pants to feel my butt.
yeah.
oops.
Hey, who is the “mandythompson” character and what is she doing on your blog, Alece…? I mean, she JUST WASN’T AROUND WHEN YOU WERE 200 COMMENTS SHORT OF GETTING THAT PUPPY now, was she? I think she should have to ask permission before commenting from the 1,000+ commenting commenters who got you your pup.
And I think she should start with Tam.
Then ME.
As for your “misbehaving”, Alece…you’re married. Your husband earned his bonus points. So your misbehaving isn’t really misbehaving.
And me…..I just kind of sort of maybe just sort of kind of don’t want to back to my “old life.” And…..stuff. Whatever. You get the idea. Right?
Right.
OH! I see you’ve written a new post…!!!
[Fast exit. Stage left.]
AWESOME! :D Hubby’s are the best. Love it.
MANDY!!!!!!!
You do NOT want to go back…knitting NorEaster, knitting!!
Alece, your husband sounds a lot like mine! When we get to the mission field, we want to be just like y’all!!
@mandythompson says:
BRANDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
TheNor: you THINK you’re funny…. you THINK you’re funny.
mandy — man oh man, i wish i had the bug-eyed guy. cause he would be inserted right HERE. you crack me up!
NE — yes, yes, yes. mandy needs to beg. plead. bat her eyelashes. the works. (AND… i completely understand!)
michelle — awww… just like us??? wow. thanks. :-)
@mandythompson says:
enable the smileys on your comments, darlin:
dashboard
settings
writing
formatting
check “convert emoticons”.
:)
and i DON’T understand. most bloggers don’t even post posts while they’re on vacation.
isn’t that some consolation?????
can’t i get just a LITTLE TINY BIT of credit around here?
no appreciation.
none at all.
i know HOW to turn on the emoticons… but i don’t like most of them. only bug-eyed guy. and it’s all or nothing… so right now i’m still sticking with nothing…
and yes, you’re right. i must say i was impressed with all that plan-ahead-age on your part. and i know that if you could, you would have voted with/for me… so…
ok.
you’re forgiven.
YAY!
@mandythompson says:
actually.
yes. i wanted you to win. ofcourse.
but.
well.
i don’t like dogs. much. at all.
but, if they are necessary, then go little.
so.
yeah.
hope you can forgive me for that! ;)
i miss you.
might get pouty soon
sorry i missed your call today… and didn’t even text you back! yikes. i suck.
flew from seattle back to NY today. man, what a trip that is. got up at 5, left the house at 6, arrived at the airport at 7, boarded a plane at 9… and then landed in NY at 5 PM. WHAT?! where’d the day go?!
sheesh.
@mandythompson says:
HI!!!!!!
we’re in the same time zone! YAY!
waving to you from beantown.
that was our yesterday. left the condo at 7:15 – didn’t get home ’til like 8.
ouch. looooooooong day. stupid airports.
:(
ok. bedtime
@mandythompson says:
and i’m not pouty that you didn’t call/text. really.
just pouty. cause.
just cause.
:)
ok.
seriously.
bedtime.
yes.
goodnight!!!!
i’m glad to be back on EST, too! wed. i head to central, so i’m enjoying it for the next few days.
guess what i’m doing tomorrow? going to a yankees game! my first ever. and this is their last season at the stadium. AND it’s the subway series (i hope they kick the mets’ butts). it IS supposed to rain… please pray with me that it doesn’t!
g’night!
Text? Calls? Hey, am I the only one who HASN’T been contacted by a blog buddy in the real world…? :(
Oop. Can’t do that one. Alece only likes bug-eyed guy.
So… :shock:
Actually, I take it back. No :shock: for Alece.
Nope. ‘Cause she’s going to see The Enemy.
The Last-Place Yankees.
Well, since they’re nice enough to be 5 games back and in last place, I guess I could manage another :shock: for Alece.
:shock:
NE — “The Enemy”??? in the words of little sydney (yes – she totally said this the other night) — “The Yankees may not be good, but they’re still the best!”
@mandythompson says:
the best????
really!?!
um.
last year’s World Series seemed to say otherwise.
i’m just sayin…..
well all right…
i think we may need to reconsider july.
i’m just sayin…
@mandythompson says:
not nice
:blush:
:pouty face:
let’s be friends.
