in like a lion…out like a ridiculous hot mess in a string bikini

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Marie

Considering we had snow flurries here yesterday, it seems way, way too early to be thinking about bikinis. Don’t get me wrong. I do love bikini season. Because I look great in a bikini. I mean, really, really hot. Like, … Continue reading →

more horrible for you (bikini season edition)

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Marie

Yesterday, I got stuck in a two-hour meeting (of which only about 15 minutes was worthwhile), and missed yoga. [queue: melodramatic horrified scream] I mean, I could have hauled ass over there and sneaked in a few minutes late, but … Continue reading →

maybe I’m not at all down and out

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Marie

It’s Friday night. I’m half a block from finishing my run when this horrible waste of a human being thinks she’ll be clever and honk; startling me and causing me to do this retarded little jump/kick in mid-air. Before you … Continue reading →

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Marie

running for spite

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Marie

It was pretty nice to wake up today knowing that my long run was already out of the way: No pressure to wake up early; guilt-free Bloody Mary at breakfast; no need to eat only binding foods. I’m a little … Continue reading →

runner’s tan

Posted on March 19, 2011 by Marie

Indications of springtime: two ducks making sweet love in our backyard; first run of the season in shorty shorts. When you’re as pasty white as I am, springtime is a much-welcomed opportunity to add a touch of color. However, I … Continue reading →

when beers exceed mileage

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Marie

Yeah so, a dude won my contest. The irony. I knew I liked this guy when I went to his blog and saw posts titled “Dirty Whore(s)” and “If you call it a staycation I will stab you.” This could … Continue reading →
