How to Murder Your Wife – 150 Miles to No Where…RTT

Did I grab your attention, men?  What, how can she post such a thing? you shriek in terror. This isn’t a DIY manual for your husbands, ladies.  You can put your mind at ease.

Over the weekend, we watched How to Murder Your Wife with Jack Lemmon and Virni Lisi.

This 1965 movie is about a 40-year old single man who watches his friends get married one-by-one, a mistake he dares not to commit until one night after a drunken boys night out at a bachelor’s party. Lemmon wakes the next morning to learn he impulsively married Lisi (girl in the cake).  Soon, he begins fantasizing about murder and before he knows it his over-acted imagination is used against him. Curious to see the movie, check out the trailer.

This is a funny movie, if you don’t get hung up on how things were different between the sexes in the 60s and are able to enjoy a good comedy, then this is the flick for you!

I’ve been a law-abiding citizen my entire life, like most of you.  I’ve never seen the inside of a jail not even as a visitor.  Occasionally, I’ll get glimpses of a celebrity mug shot on TV or the cover a tabloid while checking out.  These aren’t the kind of Kodak moments a person wants to share with their friends and family.  I stumbled upon a link last week with some very interesting mug shots, if you want to be shocked or even get a good laugh then take a look at these Crazy Mug Shots. (link broken but do a Google search and you’ll find similar ones that’ll give you some giggles)

UPDATE:  Did you catch my Random Tuesday Thoughts last week?  Not to worry, you can read about it here.  In my blog post, I mentioned making my own automatic dishwasher detergent from scratch. For the past week, I had it under the test phase.  Overall, I’m VERY pleased with the home-made version.  What I’ve discovered is the home-made detergent rinse better leaving the dishes smooth and shiny.  I don’t recall this ever being the case with my national brand detergent. My plan now includes running a few loads of dishes using Cascade Complete with Bleach to see how it stacks against Jenerally Speaking’s version.  Stay tuned for the outcome!

I pedaled 150 miles on my bike…exercise bike to nowhere last week.  Each day, I rode I averaged 30 miles.  It took me about two…maybe two and half hours to complete my daily ride.  That’s like going from Knoxville, Tennessee to Abingdon, Virginia or to Richmond, Kentucky(north) or to West Marion, North Carolina (east) or to Calhoun, Georgia (south) or to Lebanon, Tennessee (west).

Plotting a road course for my biking to nowhere gives me a sense of accomplishment, as I accumulate miles each week.  The question is, where do I want to bike to?  Let’s have some fun, shall we?  My heart has ached to go back to Maine. With that being said, then Portland Maine will be my destination.  Here’s where I hope to be by the end of this week if I keep up the same pace….Salem, Virginia which is just north of Roanoke.  Maybe I should stop by to see my friend and fellow author, Becky Mushko.

The rebellion continues while Keely is taking a break thanks to Stacy Uncorked.

What ramblings are on your mind this Tuesday? Be sure to link up to join the fun and rebel on, my blogger friends!

WAIT… this Tuesday party continues with Leslie at Night Owl Crafting!

Leslie asks:

1. Do you exercise regularly and what do you do?  
Yes, for over a year I’ve been an avid bike rider (stationary bike).  Riding on the road is far too dangerous and I never have to worry about the elements.  Yeah, I know it’s not the same thing as feeling the wind brush against my cheeks or to have a dog nip at my pant leg, but the result of keeping fit is the same.  I love doing aerobics like Zumba (latin dance) or kickboxing with Billy Blanks, but my knees have been a bit sensitive for past few years. I hope to one-day resume Zumba for that total heart pounding experience. It’s great fun!

2. Do you have any weird sleeping habits?
Actually, I can’t say that I do.  I mean, I fall into bed and usually within minutes, I’m fast to sleep unlike my husband who drifts off to sleep riding from his iPod.  Yeah, it often falls onto his face or mine.  I like snuggling my head against his shoulder every night, as we cuddle up.  That’s my favorite time of the day to be ultra close to my sweetie.

3. How often do you vacuum?
I don’t vacuum near enough, but our carpet is so old that I hate to run the vacuum any more than I have to.  In my dream house,  I want all hardwood floors.

4.Do you accessorize and if so what is your favorite thing to accessorize with?
I am not big into accessories.  The most I do is wear earrings or a necklace.  I have some very nice purses my husband bought me to go with certain outfits, but I haven’t used them in years. Usually, I won’t carry my purse if we’re dining out. However, if I need a lovely black or white purse then I have them.  These are basic colors which will go with a lot of different outfits.

5. What is your favorite drink during the summertime?
Iced lemonade is my favorite drink, but I don’t make it very often.  It’s too much trouble, so I drink a lot of iced water.  Did you know drinking ice water can help you to burn calories?  It’s not a huge amount, but if you do enough little things to add, then the effort will pay off.
