An Update

Hi everyone. Here is an update on my life. I am in San Diego right now. I am on day 8 of taking care of my 2 little sisters (3 and 6 years old). Luckily my parents get back tonight. Whew! What I have learned from this week is that I am a great babysitter but this week has really amplified that I just don't want kids. Now hopefully my significant other will stay in agreement. I think he is OK with that idea too.

My long term plans are still on the same track that they have been for a while. I plan to spend some time in NYC as that it where my significant other lives right now. We are both going through some life changes and have to figure out where we will be after a year or so but right now we are just hanging out there. I have always wanted to live in NYC but the more I am there the more I think that I prefer San Francisco. The problem with New York is that it takes so long to get out of the city into nature. Where as in San Francisco you can get to some really beautiful places rather quickly. Plus, Golden Gate park is just bigger than Central Park and a little less creepy.

However, I do remember Cara being followed in the park one night after she had been looking for a place to have a BBQ the next day. She was so freaked out when she came home. It was really strange. I think she, unknowingly, had actually triggered some drug dealers and then when she didn't make contact with them they followed her. OR, maybe it was police, undercover, following her thinking that she was after drugs. Who knows. All I remember is that she was really freaked out and tried to lose them throughout the blocks in The Richmond District in SF.

But getting back on topic. I am in SD for another week, I might do a quick trip to Las Vegas but probably not, I am trying to save some money as the coffers are getting low. I just paid for my yoga teacher training which was not cheap and I still have to buy my tickets to Thailand and India next year. I also want to go to Tim Miller's studio Encinitas. He is a really famous Ashtanga Yoga guy. So I am looking forward to it.

I am planning to do some temp work in NYC until I go to Thailand in November for the first part of my training. I spend 6 weeks there doing an intense teacher training. It should be fantastic but hard.

Then back to the US for the holidays. Probably spend some time in Michigan and California with the respective families. Hopefully find another temp job in January. That might be a little more difficult. It is sometimes hard to find work in January. Who knows.

I am going back to Thailand in February then on to Mysore, India. Yes, more yoga. After that I hope to be at least practicing the whole primary series of Mysore style, Ashtanga yoga. Then I hope to get a job teaching in a studio to get some more experience. We will see. Who knows where I will be by then but that is the tentative plan.

News on the boy front. Yes, I am dating. I feel finally ready to do that. Before I went to Thailand I was a total mess but with the help of the yoga and a few special friends I really feel much better. I have identified my culpability in my failed marriage and have identified the things that I had no control over at all. So I am ready to move on and start dating someone new and know that I will not make the same mistakes again.

I never want to be in the situation that Marc put me in again. It just won't happen. I am being so much more careful this time and refusing to lose my identity.

That is me in a nutshell. :) oh yes, I am selling my car. So if any of you are interested in the Audi, then just let me know.
