not EXACTLY what I was going for…

It finally happened.

THE whistle.

a post-work, 3-mile run through my neighborhood in my lululemon reverse grooves and my march for maddie t-shirt with my (rocky training montage) music blasting through my ipod. I was feeling good, there was life in me yet. I could have run a fourth mile, for sure. I stopped in front of the high school for a moment to fix my headband when I heard it.

THE whistle.

I whipped around to make sure that the whistling was, indeed, intended for me and my smoking ass, and once this was confirmed, I jacked up the pace and ran all the way home with a smile on my face. I was, after all,Â a girl who had been whistled at. FINALLY. it only took thirty years.

and then I collapsed on my bed. and realized.

it wasn’t a high school I had stopped in front of.

it was an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

shitty realization of the day: being whistled at my pre-teens *might* just be worse than never being whistled at at all.

please come on over to Juice today. I’m running a Mother’s Day contest for an XBOX 360 bundle. Come on, you know you want to. There are absolutely no strings attached, and this puppy is valued at $275!

(I’ll be honest, I’m more than a little bit jealous that I don’t qualify to win this)

(I’m guessing with the Lips game, you can probably make your own CandySam video!)

(seriously…GO THERE NOW!)

Maybe it was a hot teacher giving the whistle. That’s seriously what I would go with!

Bwahahahaha! Seriously, though, i’m with the first commenter. It was probably a hot young teacher whistling at you…! For sure….
Comment by Haley-O on May 5, 2009
Yeah… I was all excited about that XBOX contest until I realized it’s not for guys. I was going to use it to leverage a console out of my wife.

Also? Think of the whistle this way: in 10 or 12 years you’ll be Stiffler’s mom and Josh will be Stiffler.

(OK wait… maybe don’t think about it like that.)

I think I need some new yoga pants to motivate me… are they worth it?
Comment by OHmommy on May 5, 2009
Bwahahaha! SUCKA.

Maybe they thought you were a student? *snicker* LOVE YOU!

Um, the video AGAIN. Dammit Ali! You’re killing me! xoxox

Comment by LAVENDULA on May 5, 2009
I agree. It was a teacher FOR SURE.
Comment by Angella on May 5, 2009
I agree. It was a teacher, or possibly a hot single dad. Rawr!
Comment by Jen on May 5, 2009

I’d like to be the one to kiss your ass and tell you it was a teacher.

But we all know it was a student. Because you’re so wee!

But I love you all the same!

What if it was the hot gym teacher? 😉
Comment by Mary on May 5, 2009
Go YOU on the running!!! And hey, a whistle is a whistle. You’re HAWT!
Comment by Karen Sugarpants on May 5, 2009
Hey, it could have been a teacher. 😉 And I would totally whistle at you!
Comment by WickedStepMom on May 5, 2009
I’m always super paranoid whilst running in neighborhoods. I glare at everyone I pass.
Comment by Kaleigha on May 5, 2009
IT could have been a teacher… like WSM said =D.

I say enjoy the whistle, wherever it came from…
Comment by ruthibelle on May 5, 2009
PHWEEEEEETWHEW!

(There’s a whistle from someone who’s not a pre-teen.)
Comment by Avitable on May 5, 2009
Maybe I missed it but what is on your running playlist??
Comment by Jenn on May 5, 2009
I’m with the previous posters, think of it as a whistle from a hot teacher. Or perhaps a hot divorcee picking up junior for a dentist appointment.

I’m too self conscious to run outside…in public..where people can see me. That is why we bought a treadmill.

Stacies last blog post..They’re baaaack
Comment by Stacie on May 6, 2009
Whistles from pre-teens? I do believe that puts you in the MILF category, my dear. And isn’t that something to be proud of?
Comment by MonsteRawr on May 6, 2009
I say, whistle = awesome! no matter what! And i’m sure it was a hot dad! 🙂
Comment by Tova on May 6, 2009
Oh my hell. I’m slightly more flabbergasted that those pants go for $96 than the fact that you may have been whistled at by a 10-yr-old. Do they run for you? Cuz then I’ll buy ’em.
Comment by Colleen - Mommy Always Wins on May 6, 2009
I love this, and strangely enough, had just been thinking about exactly the opposite – how I kinda sorta secretly miss (some of) the catcalls that have not come in my direction much lately. Doing a post on that flip side & will link to you.

And apparently I have to check out these Lululemon pants, since I hear nothing but miraculous things about them.
Comment by Legallyblondemel on May 6, 2009
At least it was a whistle thrown ass-ward rather than a ham sandwich or garbage…I don’t want to talk about it.
Comment by Rachel on May 6, 2009
Definitely a teacher whistling! Way funny…
Comment by Bethany on May 7, 2009
Okay, so it probably WAS a student, but look at it this way: He thinks you look young enough to be prime whistling material! I bet he thought you were a teenager, and not, you know, Stacey’s Mom of Fountains of Wayne fame. 🙂
Comment by metalia on May 7, 2009
hee hee hee … I agree: it was the “hot teacher”!!

Love your blog!
Comment by carla K. on May 7, 2009
Yep…Hot teacher FO SHO.

Right now, I’d take what I can get. I’m still waiting for the whistle. Sigh.
