a realistic look at highland life

This is the place where I will ride bareback across fields, raise strong, beautiful children, and spend my evenings writing and reading by our blazing hearth.

this is me in the early hours of january 1st 2008 on the main beach in hadd rin on koh pha ngan in the gulf of thailand. i think i’m trying to put a spell on you with my magic pail of vodka.

surprising: i never threw-up.

not surprising: tom and i got in a huge fight and ended up not even speaking to each other. this is a new year’s eve tradition for us. the year before it nearly came to blows as we sat watching the fireworks over puerto vallerta. i guess there’s something about romantic sea-side relaxation and awe-inspiring beauty that fills us with murderous rage. next year we’re planning on giving each other minor disabilities in st. barts.



it isn’t vagina dialogues…

hi girls, what’s up?

oh, your vaginas are acting up?

cool… except not.

lately, i’ve noticed alot of girls talking unabashedly about their vaginas. in class, over dinner, in da club: vagina, vagina, vagina.

this is inappropriate. stop it, please.

     But wait, you say, I saw famous, respectable women talking about their vaginas in the vagina monologues and oprah talks about her vajayjay!

true. but there is a difference. for clarity’s sake, i will list people who you may, and may not, talk to about your vagina:

people that you may talk to about your vagina:

your mom

your sisters

your husband or fiancee (and probably only if you have cancer)

dr. ruth

close girlfriends or gay friends who you know won’t be weirded out

oprah: i know she’s probably not your close friend but emotionally she probably might as well be

note: none of these count if you are within earshot of someone enjoying a meal.

people you may never talk to about your vagina:

anyone sitting across a dining table from you

men

television presenters whose program’s audience isn’t at least 80% women

me (half a dozen girls exempted)

i am sorry. i must be so victorian. i just think that it is an odd thing to talk about. i know women should be empowered by their “sex”…

it just seems a little less special when you talk about it to everyone.

 plus it’s gross.

whoa. was that an appology? from you?

t. apologized today via e-mail for not being “compassionate” enough toward me. not sure if thats the word i would use, maybe “rude”? but it made me feel good and forgive him right away for our fight yesterday.

 there is something about an appology from someone who never appologizes that makes it almost better than the perfect compliment.

with all of the recent drama around here it was really good to have tom back from europe. i made him my famous lemon chicken (thanks mom) and french beans almondine. unfortunately he has to fly to new york tomorrow.

i hate being left alone all the time, our house can be kind of creepy when you’re home alone.

this is us on our friend jim’s boat, invader, in puerto vallerta last christmas.
