No car, no phone, soon no toogie!

Whoah...it sounds like the beginning of a bad country song! I left my phone in my friend's car after the beach today...I was trying to make an escape as her drunk boyfriend tried to exchange pleasantries with me and yet they both were fuming at eachother. It was awkward...it made me think over and over in my head that I am so glad not to be in that situation. Yuck!! She seems trapped and unhappy...and I was trapped and unhappy in the back seat of her car. It made me realize I need to get on it! I need to find the spirit van, and I need my phone back. So now I am forced to spend my Sunday carless and phoneless...I guess I will try to be productive and make some progress on my paintings. They are slowly evolving into pieces I don't recognize...nothing like what I have done in the past. Ahhh, good. I am thinking about getting a cargo van and making it into my little travelling cave. The man at the used car place in Leucadia gave me a brilliant idea...persian rugs and a hammock...whoah! So I have been combing Craig's List in search of the right one. And trying to save my money for Thailand and other expenses coming up. Amanda got accepted into the yoga teacher training program, so after my annual snowboarding trip with the chicks it is off to Thailand for a time. I am very excited to finally make it down there...a place for which I have been yearning for years. ;) Woohoo!
The ocean was gorgeous today...aqua and clear and warm. I spent the better part of the afternoon bodysurfing and sunning. I am so blessed to live this life, here in this moment. In other news, I found a possible new home for Toogie! There are four other tortoises there and a half acre grass pasture for him to frolic inside and eat grass. And hump!!! Come on, who doens't like to hump...especially with three other african spur thighed ladies! I am going to scope it out, and get ready to send him on his way to a better life. That is the final lesson he will teach me...letting go of our loved ones when it will be in their best interest to let go. I have had a lot of that attachment lesson since my accident. It is beautiful, and I am so thankful to find him a place that includes everything I wished to manifest. It's working!!! The universe really does listen...
