Mim & Her Magical Vacation

So it came to pass in October of 2009 that four of many women from the land of the blogs arranged to meet each other at the land's end in Provincetown USA. They planned and plotted, playfully pondering their many hows and whens, and in the end they had a perfectly purposeful plan in place.
.
But alas, it came to pass that one of the four of many women was unable to meet at the land's end in Provincetown USA because her husband and her mother-in-law needed her.
.
So three of the many women from the land of the blogs met without her and laughed their way through four nights and five days of riotous non-stop adventures. But they could not escape the obvious vacuum caused by the absence of the woman named Mim. Being artistic creative types, these three women from the land of the blogs cleverly devised a way to overcome all obstacles so Mim could be with them afterall.
.
This is the true unadulterated story of Mim's vacation adventure at the land's end:
.
Mim and her friends started every morning with fresh coffee and a full breakfast. Mim enjoyed people watching from her special vantage point and she even got to pose with a topless comedian, which as you can see she shyly enjoyed immensely.
After walking along Commercial Street in and out of art galleries and waiting for Debra Kay to visit every pet related store in town at least once and sometimes twice, Mim and her friends never missed mealtime.
.
And often at the end of the day, or late into the night, they would sit on the couch in kj and Lolo's cottage and talk about art, love, friendship, fashion, animals, dreams, and sex (note: in no specific order).
Mim visited the Artisan Cooperative that kj developed and made herself right at home on one of the metal sculptures:
.
At one point Mim may have had too much to drink because her friends found her precariously involved with a older gentleman who may have been a wild cowboy at some point in his life. According to Lolo and Debra Kay, Mim was "rescued" in the nick of time.
Mim also attended kj's book reading. kj is not freely forthcoming with the details, but it was noted that she (kj) was one of three authors reading and let's just say kj was surprised to be the only one who never mentioned nipples or nibbles.

After several drinks at the bar at Ross's Grill on the Waterfront, Mim was desperate to find the ladies' room.
Her friends surprised her by arranging for an afternoon of kayaking. Mim was very very excited until everyone decided to have another round of drinks instead.

She loved all the art in Provincetown, especially the interactive art.

But Mim's very favorite thing to do was to sit with her friends and watch the world pass by.

Debra Kay gave kj and Lolo presents she had painted and embellished just for them. Mim could not resist making herself at home on top of kj's lovely box.
.
Before her vacation was over Mim sought guidance and wisdom from ancient sources. But Lolo, Debra Kay and kj took her aside and told her all she needed was to be her wonderful self and enjoy the love and affection of her wonderful friends.
.
And that and this, in a nutshell, is the story of how one of many women from the land of the blogs was dragged along on a Cape Cod vacation even when circumstance demanded otherwise. It seems good friends know how to make magic happen sometimes....

  6. That is so cute1 I am back to reading blogs after a bit of a voyage away to Japan where alas I didn't have enough time to do much else but concentrate on the wonders and amusements I was witnessing and experiencing. I have missed you. Nice to be back. :)

  7. If Mim were to stay another week she'd be needing her rain slicker for the Nor'easter approaching.

    Hope the ladies all had a wonderful time.

  8. This is awesome - I'm printing it out and saving it for posterity. I had SUCH a good time with you guys, doing all those things - especially the art gallery and sitting on someones hat. What a little minx I can be!!! So glad you didn't show the pictures of us all skinny dipping - that would have shocked poor Snowbrush. And what about the night we all went dancing dressed up in our FM shoes and mini-skirts - wasnt' that a blast? And dancing down the street singing "Doo Waa Diddy Diddy" - what a great weekend - I'll remember it forever!!!
    love you guys.



    (But KJ - why didn't you mention nipples? We all have nipples, even Emily has nipples. Nipples are natural)

  9. marianne, i will bet a month's pay that next time YOU will be among this group of women dancing down commercial street. what a glorious thought! xo

    deb, ah, milo. i only hope i do justice to his wild adventure so far. xo

    kay! welcome back! i'll be by to hear all about japan. i've missed you too. xo

    mark, damn that weather. it's too soon. we had a ball. we are all blog buddies and to meet together and not miss a beat was awe-some.
    (mark, i need new adj. and adv. the triteness drives me crazy) xo

    mim. mim. mim. we could not skinny dip, mim. it was too cold. we had to hold you back and instruct you to put your clothes back on. but it's okay if you want to include that erroneous fact in our memories. but why did you leave out the man with the wilted banana? (oh dear god, it's too early in the morning. i'm am losing my grace and maturity by the minute...) :) xo

  15. Lucky Mim! She looks just as I've always pictured her. Demure and sweet.

    I'm so glad you rescued her from the cowboy in the nick of time. Otherwise she may have ended up riding a bull or some other rodeo animal.

    Hugs,
