vacuous opossum

I'm in my late 40's. I was an happily single medial professional, until I met my now Husbang. We moved to Papua New Guinea and we're now fostering a four year old orphan girl. I've gone from treating women victims of domestic violence, to witnessing it first hand. I swear. A lot, although that's changing now that Vop's in my life. I am reconciling the politics of a white, western, educated woman with the reality of living in a country crippled by poverty, corruption and shocking violence. With a large dose of Rasta Mouse thrown in. Life as a trophy wife isn't all bridge and golf (although I do admit to a round or two). We do, however, belong to the Lae Yacht Club, which is vastly less glamorous than it sounds. The Husbang and I now have Vop, aka Cup Cake, aka Small Brown Terrorist, along with three dogs, two of which are special needs. I shop at local markets, eat fruit bat and cus cus, and I'm inordinately proud of growing my own pawpaws.
