my kim, she is one amazing lady. how does she do it--balancing work, school, marriage and did i mention the toddler twins? i know, i've mentioned them a time or two. somehow, kim pulls off, weekly, way more than i can imagine ever handling in a month. and she still seems more grounded than the rest of us. it's true that she has an amazing support network, but i credit that to how wonderful she is to be around. we all selfishly love to help kim because she is a joy of a person. unfortunately, living 3000 miles away makes it pretty difficult for me to participate in that network. the best i can do is call and leave whining, profanity and siren (thanks,nyc!)-laden messages on her machine, providing her with comic entertainment. right now it's killing me especially to be away from her because KIM BROKE HER FOOT! oh the universe is terrible and cruel! not that anyone has the time or energy to be cast-clad, hobbling around on crutches, but least of all kim, running from class to work to the backyard with twins--it's just too much to imagine! i want to cook her meals, take care of her cuties and bring her an ice pack. instead, all i can do is follow through with her request to post more videos of rose and ginger to try to cheer her in her vicadin slumber. so beware the barrage! i also must apologize for the annoying fact that my voice jumps up at least two octaves when i talk to kids. kim used to call this my squirrel voice, because she first observed it a couple years after i moved to new york. she came to visit me and noticed that i seemed a little hard up for nature, thus became obsessed with the movements of squirrels in the park, calling them like they were precious creatures. have you seen those floaty tails?! now with rose and ginger around, the squirrel voice is here to stay, and in fact, ever present. can't help it. must try. 'tickle me...i have a belly button'
'i'm going away'
'breakfast blues'
'the waiting spot'
and three more!
'at la calaca loca'
'now you're recording'
'who are you?'
