And now something completely trivial
Hey. How are you? I’m changing the subject today to something totally banal and inconsequential because my emotions are completely fried like they do it up in Kentucky.
The babysitter we use to watch the girls a few hours after camp in the afternoon is young and vibrant and unsullied by the tidal waves that come with having kids and mortgages and staggering legal fees that build up when sued by a publishing house (oh, summer of 2006, how I do not miss thee). Her hair is always washed and curled, and she has the cutest red lipstick on every single day. I asked her recently about her beauty habits because mine have devolved into yoga pants, t-shirts, a ponytail and minimal mascara. Here is what you’ll find in the makeup bag of a hip 26-yr-old who, when I told her about my excitement about seeing Beck perform live asked, “You mean that guy from the Nineties?”
