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.

France 2012 - Carnac

le 2 novembre At around 7 a.m. this morning, Habibi and I set sail (sorry, I'll stop using nautical terms now) for the small, coastal town of Carnac, located in Bretagne  (Brittany).  Upon arriving at the small, cozy  H ô tel An Ti Gwenn  ( Breton  for "white house"), we were warmly received and led to our calm little slice of heaven.  Remember, we had just left our tiny, disgusting fish bowl of a room, so the pleasant smells and fresh, clean bedding were welcome! Exterior view of the  Hôtel An Ti Gwenn View of the back garden from one of our windows Peeking through the main window into the side garden Our clean, fresh salle de bains Notre chambre We stopped for a quick lunch at a local s alon de thé  before heading to the tourism office at the center of town.  The main square was adorned with a lovely old church (typical of just about every French community, regardless of the size), several small tourist shops, bars and  crêperies.

Mitt Romney: Problem Solver By A Fool's Standards

I know I bash politics a lot because, I'll just come right out and say it, I think they're silly.  My indifference to most things allows me the leisurely amusement of getting a rise out of people who are particularly hot on any given subject.  However, like most individuals who actually do give a shit, I also have a set of criteria on what I look for in a candidate and -republican or democrat- I will vote for whomever I feel best meets that criteria. But today, I find myself at a loss for words. http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/02/15/146929766/why-romneys-shaggy-dog-story-wont-die While I haven't exactly been a Romney fan up until this point, I am somewhat sympathetic to those under constant scrutiny.  I suppose he has faced his fair share.  But we do make our own beds, do we not?  This is positively inexcusable.  I would sooner vote for a chimp in a scuba suit than this imbecile.  Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see all such despicable cr

The Joys of Fall and Eating Dinner

When I was just a little tike, I learned a song about Halloween.  The lyrics went something like this: Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern, You are such a pretty sight, As you sit there in the window, Looking out on the night! You were once a yellow pumpkin, Growing on a sturdy vine. Now you are a Jack-O-Lantern, See the candlelight shine! I know it isn't exactly Hemingway (thank goodness), but poor Habibi found me singing it to myself in the bathroom this morning as I was getting ready for the day.  (Oh, shut up.)  For your enjoyment (obviously) I've included the inspiration for my morning concert below: WE GOT TO CARVE OUR PUMPKIN LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! I love Halloween.  Every year around this time I start to get the jitters as though something terribly exciting and adventurous is about to happen.  I love the crunch of fall leaves, crispy mornings, eerie evenings and smoky nights.  Spooky stories, haunted houses, the smell of a campfire an
