Blog, i mollie, i run, Scrapbook of Secrets · July 11, 2011

Five things I thought about during my morning run:

1. Running at the gym is heaven compared to walking the dog outside this morning. It’s miserable out there.

2. I want to find loft beds for the girls. Word.

3. I really think that elderly man is making eyes at me. Hunh. Well, good for him for still having an interest. But I am so not the woman for him. lol.

4. Okay. I’ve read a couple of books by men recently that have rubbed me the wrong way. The women characters aren’t wearing bras.(Of course, they are ample breasts.)  There are very few situations I can think of in which I’d find myself in public, especially as a professional woman, not wearing a bra. So when I am reading these guys, I’m rolling my eyes and thinking “In your dreams, Mr.” And oh, BTW that’s totally not believable. And you just lost me as a reader.

5. What a great time with my kids and hubby yesterday watching the Waynesboro fireworks.

    I haven’t gone for my run yet today and know it’s going to be miserably humid when I do get out there.

    We’ve had good luck with lofts from Ikea.

    The bra thing is irritating. The other thing I loathe in books is when male writers place a lot of emphasis on a certain sex act that the female characters perform on the main male protagonist, yet there never seems to be any reciprocity…

    Yeah, I’ve seen those lofts. I think we might go with them. they are the least expensive.

    And I SO hear you about the act and know exactly what you’re talking about.

    But neither one of these books I was reading was romance or erotica. They were both mysteries. Go figure.

    Thanks for posting.
