A few weeks ago I carpooled with my cousin to go pick up our parents at the airport and needed to get something out of the trunk before we walked in. Well I left the front door wide open in the parking lot and we were inside for a good 30 minutes. Thankfully nothing was stolen, but when we walked back and I saw what I had done I felt crazy! LOL<br /><br />I'm so glad I found your blog :) You have such a positive outlook on life it seems!Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044336707596369037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-76065364222630126542010-07-06T09:09:51.806-07:002010-07-06T09:09:51.806-07:00Mireyah, now there's an interesting blog post ...Mireyah, now there's an interesting blog post idea...what I'd do if I got to be 18 for a day :)<br /><br />Patty, jog bras are a whole 'nother topic (Champion makes some good stuff, but even those aren't ideal) but that Bali bra does a pretty good job of minimizing the number of black eyes I give myself just walking down the street.<br /><br />Alastair, hey, thanks for stopping by! I've been seeing some wonderful new traffic via your blog & Lucy March's! Very true about fiction making a whole lot more sense than reality. This probably explains why so many of us choose to be writers, eh?<br /><br />Patrick, I repeated that to Pythagoras and he chuckled all the way home from the gym last night.<br /><br />Marguerite, we should start a Bali fan club. I'm also a big fan of Wacoal and Felina (both of whom understand that bras can be both sexy and fully functional for busty women).<br /><br />Claire Dawn, your comment isn't showing up in the comment trail for some reason, but I got an email saying it was there, so I'm assuming there's a blogger glitch. Um, are you calling me strange?!<br /><br />Thanks for reading, guys!<br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-22262262060521258632010-07-06T07:52:57.395-07:002010-07-06T07:52:57.395-07:00When they said, "Truth is stranger than ficti...When they said, "Truth is stranger than fiction," they meant you!Claire Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354840714847021685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-26892890335480017022010-07-06T06:53:23.946-07:002010-07-06T06:53:23.946-07:00http://comewrite.wordpress.com/

Some might argue that we turn to stories for magic and miracles; personally, I think that we like fiction because so much more sense than the real world ever will. ;)Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617690825483643546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-32712075589102637362010-07-05T14:21:54.933-07:002010-07-05T14:21:54.933-07:00Oh, to be you, Tawna.

Kinda hard to believe, actually!<br /><br />Mireyah, busty wench, I'm totally putting that on a business card! Re: the bike sex, Linda G. is referring to my March 26 blog post on "fake car sex." She suggested in the comments there that I should consider it on a bike: http://tawnafenske.blogspot.com/2010/03/fake-car-sex-realities-of-romance.html<br /><br />Nina, the over-the-top stuff is sort of my trademark, so I do sometimes ignore critique partners who say "this could never happen" :)<br /><br />KD, I do have some lovely boots I got in Spain. Maybe I'll post pics of those?<br /><br />Delia, excellent suggestion on the shirttail! I actually did get to put the belt back on briefly while the dogs were in the water, but had to take it off when we started to fret someone might demand we re-leash them.<br /><br />Izzy, I do the exact same things with memoirs and movies based on a true story. Of course considering how many memoirs turn out to be fiction (James Frey, anyone?) we might not be too far off!<br /><br />Jean, I like how the blog comments have now veered from a discussion of my husband's testicles to a chat about my boobs. But since you asked, the bra is from Bali & is called "Lace-n-Smooth" and it IS wonderfully supportive! Sizing is tricky (they actually don't make my real size) in that the band runs 1 size smaller than you'd normally wear. In other words, if you're a 32B in normal bras, you'd be a 34B in this one. It's not the sexiest bra on the planet, but it makes you look terrific in T-shirts. Consider that my sales pitch. And here's a link: http://www.balicompany.com/detail.asp?col=3&cat=1&styleno=3432&color=RW<br /><br />Amanda, LOL, thanks for cracking me up twice (though sorry to hear about the mosquito bites!)<br /><br />SM Schmidt, we do live in a pretty low-crime area, but you'd think SOMEONE would be tempted by a purse sitting right there on the passenger seat with the window all the way down!<br /><br />Mother Hen, OMG, what did the girls say?

As far as leaving all your worldly goods in the car and finding them when you returned... <br /><br />I was sitting in my husbands Range Rover on Sunday and had our dog leashed to the car, she was lying in the sun next to my open door. Two teenage girls walked by not seeing me as I am small and was tucked into the front seat, One actually said," Look,we could nick the dog and the car!" Then they heard," Fat chance," from me.<br />Needless to say, dog didn't even bother to try to protect car or me.<br /><br />We heard a few fireworks from far away neighbours but nothing grand.

I have to go find it on YouTube now, just for the chuckle.<br /><br />Linda G, LOL, "walnut" is apparently one of those guy terms with which I was unfamiliar before meeting Pythagoras. It's just how some men describe it when the cold causes everything to shrivel to that size/shape, I guess. I didn't do any inspecting right that moment, so I'll have to take his word for it, but to the best of my knowledge, both balls are present and accounted for. <br /><br />Sierra, wow, so in addition to the double-jointed elbows & monkey toes, we're now psychically linked in our blog posts? I'm going to have to go check yours out now!<br /><br />Middle Child, yeah, my boobs tend to distract most people. This is why I often tease myself about them -- saves me from having other people do it first! I actually had that pic up on the screen this morning and Pythagoras walked past and said, "nice boobs." I stared at the picture and asked, "are they too out-there? Do you think I should do a quick breast-reduction in Photoshop?" He looked at me like I was crazy. "Why would you do that?" Indeed. So I left them alone! :)<br /><br />LR, I can't kill spiders either.
