I'm Down 7 Hump Days


I am down 7 hump days. I feel as if I've let my fellow widows down. I am sorry. But, I am back, and although I'm not sure I can keep up with Kyle's numerous hump day photos and such ( does the man really work??? ) , I will do my best to make up for my slacking.


And NO, I will NOT resort to posting my rear end on the blog for the male spouses of my readers like Kyle did for his female fans.


In keeping with the spirit of the Tour de France, I've selected someone who, in my opinion, is worthy of 7 consecutive humps. Yes. That is right. 7-time TDF winner Lance Armstrong.

Now, I will be the very first to admit that there are some things about Lance that I'm not thrilled with. I am not happy that he left his wife. I'm not thrilled that he's been seen around LA, Hollywood, and NYC with SEVERAL skanky celebrity womem. Some who he's almost old enough to have fathered. ( I did hear on one of those entertainment news shows that his daughter took that Olsen waif to her school for show and tell..... what? "hi class, I brought in an example of anerexia nervosa......" ewwwww. )

I, of course, don't know the details of his personal life, except those he's chosen to share via interviews and books. I will not ( or TRY not ) to judge. I simply don't know. I just know that I don't like what I've seen as of late.

That being said....I have INCREDIBLE respect for the man as an athlete, and as a philanthropist.

Athlete, philanthropist, 7 time TDF winner, Hollywood playboy --- none of these have ANYTHING to do with the fact that he just looks AMAZINGLY delicious running in this photo.

That's why he's my hump choice. 7 TIMES.

Seriously, we all know he'd have the endurance for it. :)

She Lives!!!

My apologies for disappearing from the radar for 6 weeks. As much as I'd like to come up with a grand reason for not blogging, I have none.

Unless, of course, you could count the end of the school year, 3 children's sports teams schedules, team parties, the end of MY school year and all the trivial bookkeeping/classroom cleaning-out etc that goes with it , packing and unpacking from a week-long family vacation ( more on that later ), teaching summer camp, and trying to maintain the household activities and responsibilities while husband is training/traveling/ racing as justifiable reasons to not sit down and type on the computer for hours on end.

I have however collected a great amount of material this racing season to blog about, and have plans to address all of these observations ( plus some other mundane " day in the life of Bike Widow" topics) in the coming days.

So, my fellow blogophiles, she has returned.
