Winners Stalk at Daybreak

Good morning and happy Tuesday!  Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week (other than Friday, of course) because Tuesdays are DATE NIGHT with my hubby.  (Je t'aime, habibi!)  I am typically chipper on Tuesdays because I get excited about our outings or even about staying in.  This is one day when I am particularly happy to be married.  Today, however, I had an added bonus to make me relieved to be off the market...

Once again, I was out for my usual morning torture (run).  I was enjoying the brisk morning, the cool breeze in my (disgustingly) sweaty face and the absence of thought as I listened to my feet on the pavement.  I was feeling extra joyful because my underoos weren't even riding today!  HUZZAH!  Alas, this serenity could not last forever.

Ladies, how often do you experience the honking horns and loud comments when you run?  I am disappointed to say that this is not a first-time experience for me.  I must admit that the first time, I wondered if I had violated some runners' traffic law, but then realized how stupid that was.  Although I am not exactly intimidated by this form of harassment, I do find it irritating.  I mean, I know my delicate perspiration (not) and brightly colored mismatched clothes are irresistible, but please, do try and keep it to a minimum.  However, I must ask my suitors, Do my tennis shoes really scream street-walker?  Has this yelling out the window at women ever worked for you before?  Are you feeling bold today because you're in a car, safe from the possibility that a woman might actually approach you?  What would you do if she did?  Instead of honking horns and making lewd comments, I'd suggest you do something about that adult acne and get yourself a training bra, because clearly, you aren't man enough for this.


I consider myself very blessed to have found and married the man of my dreams.  But what is it with all the douche bags out there?  To all of my single readers, I apologize on behalf of everyone else.  Although you will never find me yelling out the window at you as you go about your daily activities (unless you are, in fact, violating some runners' traffic law), I am embarrassed to admit that this behavior exists.  So please, enjoy the single life and never settle for Ol' Woody-At-Every-Skirt-Sighting.  To all of my readers in relationships, please give your honey a squeeze tonight and make sure that he isn't in league with the Drive-by Idiot Parade.  If he is, paint his back porch red.

Navigating Summer, School, and COVID-19

Guys, it has been awhile.  What can I say?  I just haven't been feeling inspired.  I know, I know...  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that I am almost never  inspired; you can find evidence of this conclusion by reading any one of my past posts.  Seriously, just pick one.  But really, it has been busy around here.  Since March, we have been homeschooling both kids.  Part of this was mandated, of course, when everything shut down earlier this year.  However, since we were having growing success with taking charge of our kids' education this spring, we decided to run with it and continued with certain elements of school through the summer.  We will be full on homeschooling for the coming year because our public education system has turned into an absolute cluster.  This is going to be such a throwaway year anyway, so yeah.  We're "those people" now.   Who knows?  Maybe this year, my daughter has...

Brain Barf #4: Senior Citizens, Italian-Americans, Dreamboats, and Tap Shoes

My neighbor sent me this last night: In five years, J.Lo will be getting discounts at restaurants and movie theaters because she will be considered a senior citizen.  And she will still look like that.   YOU GUYS I SAID J.LO IS ALMOST A SENIOR CITIZEN.  SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING. Meanwhile, I look more and more like this every day: My friend MoMo was invited to play pool with a friend of hers today.  She told me about it, which is free license for me to post it here. MoMo (and her friend): Anouchka: In her friend's defense, he has only been in the U.S. for about 18 months and apparently thought that an "Italian-American" would be a rare and exotic treat. I'm been pestering Habibi lately to spoil me and praise me and tell me I'm a rare and divine treasure more often, but it hasn't been working.  I'll send him text messages periodically, featuring my face,  looking putrid fr...
