Of a Contrary Kind

by Runner Susan on August 10, 2006

in Family,Knollie Logic

Reading the Running & Rambling blog entry the other day made me think – and not just about the odd girl crush we all share for Shakira and her scary snaky hips. I also receive a lot of emails about my blog, and the question, “Does your husband read this?” pops up a lot.

To a certain extent, I can understand this question. Considering my absurd obsession with placing the terms “lesbian” and “porn” with the most unlikely subjects (“Rowdy could really use a lesbian iPod in his next feature film”), it’s really a miracle I have a husband. Especially since he spends so much time laughing at my efforts, because only he knows I really have no clue.

But yes, he is aware of my blog. Although that’s not due to his super sleuthing Hardy Boys training – you can’t do something 23 hours a day and not be noticed.

More importantly, he reads it and still loves me. I am a lucky girl. Despite the PMS moaning, my constant weight obsession, my hate/love affair with running, my hair, my boobs (or lack thereof), my detailed exploration of my bowels, and exposing his secret need to catalog and categorize our refrigerator, Michael still loves me.

And it’s reciprocated. He’s private, where I feel the need to share photos of me exchanging fluids with my computer. He is brilliant, although I try not to show how sexy I find his brain. He is incredibly kind and generous, as anyone who has seen him with Kenza can attest to. And despite taking up what could be extra shoe-room with his bikes, I find his athleticism incredibly inspiring. And on a completely shallow note, after several years of marriage, he’s still hot. I think it’s amazing that I get to be with this man every day.

Well said, Susan! I wonder every day why my wife lets me hang around. I quit asking a long time ago and just kind of go with the flow. You sound to me like you are on a lifetime journey…

2 Elizabeth August 10, 2006 at 7:50 am

:) I think you and your hubby make a really hot couple!!! Sounds like a good man to me!

3 kurt August 10, 2006 at 8:05 am

That is a great post. The obvious question is how many shoes do you have or would like to have?

Wishing you and Michael many more happy years!

Susan,
What a lucky girl you are to have a great partner. It is so refreshing to hear you speak so kindly of him. Please remember that he is lucky to have you as well. You are funny, smart, kind and a little out there. Who wouldn’t love a girl like that. I am so glad to know you. You continue to inspire me.

5 stronger August 10, 2006 at 8:19 am

Awwwww. It’s a good thing he reads your blog so he can read this post.

6 Try August 10, 2006 at 8:51 am

One runs, the other bikes… is Kenza a potential swimmer in the triumvirate?

7 The Devil August 10, 2006 at 8:53 am

You forgot to mention that he doesn’t mind your choice of friends, the shopping, being a lightweight in terms of your drinking ability, and all the weird diets you have tried. He’s a lucky, lucky fellow and you are lucky, lucky to have him too! I’d raise a toast but you’d drink it and then pass out.

Oh yes, two things that really hit home with me. #1 I don’t think you should ever worry about talking about or saying lesbian. I wish I was a lesbian. That would take care of #2 I whish I had boobs too..

Cheers.

Rice.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

at first, i thought this was just another blatant attempt to lure evil doers through search engines by using the words lesbian and rowdy semi-contiguously.

and, then, you got all ‘awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!’!

you and Michael are both fortunate!! not to mention little Kenza, and of course Rowdy too.

What sweet post. As a person who had one bad marriage and a lot of fun, sexed up but dead relationships thereafter I envy you a little bit.

What I really want to see, though is the ‘keyword activity’ list you get after this post. Yowza!

11 Donald August 10, 2006 at 10:51 am

Girls have crush on Shakira, too? How exciting. I totally missed that angle.

Sounds like you’ve got a good guy. I keep waiting for all of the blogging spouses to organize some sort of support group like Al-Anon. Sometimes it’s amazing that they put up with us.

12 Chris August 10, 2006 at 12:07 pm

You blog is about to get a TON more hits now that you’ve said the “L” and “P” word all in one post. :)

13 Cliff August 10, 2006 at 1:53 pm

Chris is so funny…

Love the previous foot pic btw.

14 neese August 10, 2006 at 2:41 pm

aww, i also have a keeper, we should all do dinner sometime :)
one difference though you don’t seem to make your husband comment like i do mine lol.

15 IHateToast August 10, 2006 at 3:32 pm

you have to have a list. i have the five men i am allowed to sleep with and i’ve been working on the “if i were a lesbian” list. parker posey and uma. haven’t figured out #s 3-5. so anyway, you need a list and that list must be public and agreed upon so there are no hard feelings. husbands don’t get the same privileges.

does he read your comments? if so… POST A PHOTO OF YOUR FEET, TOOT SWEET!

16 Jessica August 10, 2006 at 4:01 pm

Oh.. that was so sweet it almost made tear up!

And Shakira? Hmm.. Yeah. I can see that. What is that about?

17 TriBoomer August 10, 2006 at 5:16 pm

We are lucky when we get to wake up every day to somebody that loves us as much as we love them. Consider yourself a winner.

Stay tuned…

18 jkrunning August 10, 2006 at 5:56 pm

What a sweet tribute. I’m sure he will appreciate it.

19 Danny August 10, 2006 at 7:03 pm

well if the lesbian porn didn’t make him blush, i’m sure this post will.

that was sweet.

20 aham23 August 10, 2006 at 8:39 pm

sweet. he is a roadie. how many bikes we talking? later.

21 Josh August 10, 2006 at 10:21 pm

Obviously I’ve never met him, but you’re husband sounds like an all-star. and of course, a lucky guy!

22 joggerblogger August 11, 2006 at 5:00 am

:-D It’s great to have someone to share the goodtimes and the not so good times.

23 Rebekah August 11, 2006 at 6:53 am

How sweet — my husband knows about my blog too and very similarlry to yours, he’s private and can’t imagine why I’d want to write all that. Thanks, your post reminded me how lucky I am to have some one who also puts up with my love/hate relationship with running, my weight, my body, my boobs (too much) etc….

24 Rebekah August 11, 2006 at 6:54 am

Also — I have a bit-of-a crush on Shakira too…

25 stefano August 11, 2006 at 8:51 am

The wiser philosopher would have said that this nice post is a kind of psychological introspection. I like it!

26 Sam August 11, 2006 at 8:51 am

Great post! He’s a blessed man, and you sound like you realize you’re equally blessed. :)

Keep up the great work, and there can never be too many lesbians, or too much porn, in a person’s blog. :D

Sam

27 Rob August 11, 2006 at 9:18 am

My wife does not read my blog, but my mother does, so I have to watch myself. Michael is obviously comfortable and trustworthy enough to let you hang out with the likes of all of us.

28 Christy August 11, 2006 at 12:57 pm

Great post! Funny, I just downloaded the latest Shakira video.

29 ali August 11, 2006 at 4:54 pm

I haven’t met you, but I’m guessing what you are like here is what you are like in person. How could he not love ya!

30 christine August 11, 2006 at 7:32 pm

sweet!

31 D August 12, 2006 at 3:32 pm

What a nice post, Susan.

32 Yvonne August 12, 2006 at 5:22 pm

ah, it’s fab to learn that there are other blissfully happily married couples out there. and it really needs to be advertised once in a while!

he sounds truly like one of the good guys :)

33 Teacherwoman August 12, 2006 at 6:34 pm

That’s so sweet!!

34 Beth August 12, 2006 at 7:10 pm

It is so good to be loved!

35 R2B August 13, 2006 at 2:52 pm
