OMYWORD! It's Lisa's Birthday!

Today is my Parisian Chaperon and GOOD bloggy pal, Lisa Wines' birthday! Woo-hoo!!! Not wanting to send her a normal (boring) birthday card, I rounded up a little help...and well, to see Lisa's special birthday greeting...just click on her cute little picture! And then be sure to drop by her awesome blog, OMyWord and wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY too!

VIVA LA OLGA, THE TRAVELING BRA! (Again!)

FACT: I don't like sweaty cups.

So whipping this ol' bra into tip-top shape for the Paris Marathon has proven to be a bit more challenging than I expected. But hey, gimme a break...I'm just not a sports-bra, OK?! I am doing my best to avoid adhere to the hellacious rigorous training schedule that my Marathon Mistress has mapped out for me: At least 3 times per day, I'm grabbing croissants lifting weights, taking naps running laps, stretching the truth my straps, and drinking lots and lots of wine water! And then, if I'm not too exhausted from goofing off working out, I try to relax a little by perusing my blog archives...and HEY! LOOK what I found! How timely!!! I'd forgotten all about this MASTERPIECE - the result of my very 1st collaborative post with another blogger, LOBO of Predator Press! It was originally posted on September 4, 2007 ~ and is one of my all time favorites:

Watch Out Sarkozy - Soon, Olga's Gonna Be Running Paris!

I saw London...I saw France...I saw someone's...oh yeah well, ya know...

I really didn't think I'd led a sheltered life here-to-fore, but after exposing me to the famous red-light district of Pigalle...my Chaperons declared my virgin(ish) cups officially popped! And rightfully so, too! I know some of you readers (Crusty, Hungry Mother, et al.) would love to hear all the scandalous details, but sorry...I don't believe in airing ones dirty laundry in public. Let's just say that the Lingerie Galerie at Le Sexodrome (a ginormous sex-shop across the street from the historic Moulin Rouge) was quite the eye/cup opener! Oooo-la-laaa!!!

Hey Look!...it's April in Paris!

And moi!

Oh! And the Eiffel Tower!

Something about Paris really brings out my "artistic" side...

I think this shot is particularly très chic, no?Woo-hoo!...ooops, I mean.....Ouiiii-ouiiii!

Here I am in the front of Notre Dame with two of my

favorite-est blogger-buddies in the WORLD ~ Heather & Lisa!

Truly one of the HIGH points of my trip!

Star light, star bright, first start I see tonight...

I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight...

Which is...to hang around Paris just a little bit longer... to lend my support to this BRAVE woman as she runs (with ME!) in the

42,195 kilometer (26.2 miles) Paris Marathon on April 6th!

Guess my wish and her prayer paid off...

I just got told to lay off the croissants ~ 'cuz now I'm officially an in-training bra!

stay tuned....
