  • this morning i felt him tucking me in, covering me with blankets as fall has arrived and we now sleep with the windows open, letting the cool air come in. i pretended to be asleep so he wouldn't stop. he kissed me on the head before rolling over and falling back asleep himself.

    i love our mornings. some are quiet, we'll wake up and just look at each other and smile. we'll lie on our sides and look out the window watching the sunrise over the ocean. other mornings ill wake up excited, happy to see him, and start jumping and blabbering about all the fun things we could do for the day...

    either way its wonderful, he's wonderful. im so thankful.

  • about 2 weeks ago, some old friends from hawaii came to stay with us for a dear friend's wedding.  we must've spent just a few days together, but i can honestly say they were the happiest few days i've had in a long time.... which is not an easy call as i've been having a lot of fun with friends and family over the past few months. 

    i guess i didnt realize how few "playmates" i have.  my playtime consists of running, cycling, golfing and beach-ing... and well, i guess it would be so fun if i had more friends to run races with, train for the marathon with, golf with... not that my friends are lame or anything, but living on the jersey shore, im kinda far from everyone.

    anyway, maybe its just a matter of me figuring out how to lure those around me into my playtime habits too...

  • help.

    im so frustrated right now. does anyone on xanga know how to mark all your previous posts as private?
    so i've had this blog ever since graduating college. therefore- its got everything, my first job as an i-banker studying for the series 7, my time in hawaii, my time coming home from hawaii, and all the stuff in between. so now its 2007 and im in thailand and id love for this blog to capture that two so i can warehouse all my writing into one place. unfortunately, as you can imagine- ive grown up quite a bit and reading some of my old entries is painful because i sound like an idiot. so there are people who now read my new blog on thailand that obviously never had the link to this one.

    ok- heres the big question, anyone on xanga know how i can archive all my old entries so that i can mark them all as private?

  • my last day as a faux house-wife

    omg i woke up at 11:21am today. im embarassed.

    Kong im'd me at 11:30 and asked me to meet him for lunch and I tried to pretend I had been awake for hours. he knew right away however when i showed up at 12:19pm (4 minutes late- Kong is a stickler for always being on time) and he picked up a strand of my japanese mullet and said "somebunny didn't showerrrrrrrr???" haha!

    while i'd love to recount some wild night out in bangkok as being the reason why i slept until lunchtime, theres no reason. i was in bed before 10.
    well whatever- monday i start working, so my days as a faux-housewife are OVER! so what if we had maids who did all the cleaning, made the bed, folded the laundry and did the dishes... i still got to like, be at home. anyway, the past two weeks have been fun but i'm excited for Monday.

    so i kind of accepted three positions with UNESCO in bangkok(united nations educational, scientific and cultural org). i dont know what to do. every person that wrote me had such an interesting project that i just wanted to be involved with them all! plus- i dont mean to be judgmental (isnt that what all judgmental people say?) but Bangkok just seems to me like such a sad place. prostitution is technically illegal but the government doesnt really enforce any regulation on that. Kong says its because if they did, it would hurt tourism. so industry benefits from tourism but those benefits rarely trickle down to the people of bangkok thus oppressing the people! its just sad. but what do i know? these are just conclusions we've made from the things we've seen.  maybe i've got it all wrong. in any case, this is why i've chosen to work with the UN. rather than read about it or talk about it, i just want to be in the trenches and see what happens.

    so last night in my sleep i punched Kong.
    i had a dream i was fighting with my little brother, and well, i dont know! i was sleeping! its perfect bc for date night tonight we're going to see a thai movie on muy-thai boxing. it has english subtitles, and its research so that we know what to expect when we actually go to see a real match. here's our movie:http://www.movieseer.com/movieProfileBil.asp?moID=6417&Channel=2
