(True conversation with the husband)
Me: I think I'm going to write about thimples.
Husband: Thimples?
Me: You know, pimples on your thighs. I've been getting them since I've been running more. It's obnoxious-- you run 30+ miles a week and you hope you'll look awesome in a swimsuit, and then you've got these nasty pus bumps all over your legs, and it's highlighted by the pasty whiteness of your upper thighs from your running shorts.
Husband: That's disgusting. Who wants to read about that?
Me: I've read plenty of blogs about bacne, athlete's foot, and toe nails falling off. No one has explored thimples, though.
Husband: So what happens when you find out you're the only one that gets them?

Me: Uhhhh....
