Erica left this morning. I helped her carry her things to the max stop at 5 this morning, which is right outside my door practically. From there I had to go teach my class, and from there I came home and went straight back to bed until 11.
I guess there's not much to report in this blog. I'm calling Erica right now to make sure she made it to Honolulu okay. She isn't answering but her phone didn't go straight to voicemail so I am going to assume that she is on the ground and safe. She has a pretty lengthy layover there until she goes to Hilo. She has 10 hours of traveling today. I am such a fan of traveling. Oh, the things I would do if I had lots of money. Since there isn't anything interesting going on right now, I'm going to tell you some things I might do. Realistically, of course. I wouldn't be like a millionaire, for example, just well-off.
I would go to a Britney Spears concert. Does anyone really know how sad I was that I missed her when she was in Tacoma? I would take a road trip down the west coast and go all the way to San Diego. From there I would drive over to Arizona and go to Phoenix and Scottsdale and of course the Grand Canyon. Then I would go to New Mexico. I'm not sure why, but I think I would like it. I'm a totally free spirit trapped in a broke 23 year old's body! Then I would go over to Vegas and stay at The Palms, The Bellagio, Mandalay Bay or the Wynn (as opposed to Hooters Hotel & Casino where I have previously stayed). From there I would probably be sick of driving and fly home, so I guess I should have mentioned that I rented a cute little Volvo to take this trip. I would buy a condo in La Jolla and move there with Keith. I would open my own yoga studio there and of course buy plane tickets for my whole family to come visit me. I would go to massage therapy school and do that on the side. I would always have nicely manicured hands and pedicured toes. I would wax my eyebrows every other week rather than every other month. I would get spray on tans so I could have some color and not have to deal with harmful uvb rays! I would go through Jivamukti Yoga teacher training. I would visit India. I would drive to Los Angeles once a week (because I'd be living in San Diego) and teach yoga to inner city kids who have nothing. Wow, this is a fun list to make! I don't think I'm being totally unrealistic, either! I am smart enough to realize that this will most likely never be me, but I also realize that there are people in this world who could have these things if they wanted them. If I had money, I would not be one of those snotty women who only cares about collagen injections and tanning beds and her 3 pound dog. Don't get me wrong, I would do my fair share of shopping and primping, but there would definitely be a balance between taking care of myself and taking care of other people. Maybe some things on this list ARE attainable for me? I can see myself living in San Diego. I want it so bad, so I can totally see myself there. And I'm only 23 and have completed 20o hours of yoga teacher training (and want more, more, more!), so I can see myself having my own studio one day. Keith and I both love to travel so I can see us taking a trip down the coast. Okay, so here's my verdict. To some extent, I will have these things at some point in my life. Maybe I won't be able to buy my family plane tickets, but I could definitely live in San Diego and have my own studio. Those two things would make me happy. Not that I'm not already happy, but you know. I'm babbling. Is anyone even still reading this?
I just heard from Erica. She sounds happy and relaxed. She made it to Honolulu and even got her flight to Hilo bumped up so she doesn't have as long of a layover. Good for her! Maybe the bloody mary at pdx helped calm her nerves a bit?
Keith made a pizza and it was good. He bought the sauce and dough from Hot Lips Pizza. I picked the cheese off mine and he ate it. Grosses me out... he is such a cheese fanatic.
Jake and Babette will have a new little baby soon! I just talked to him and he said that if Babette's blood pressure doesn't go down by Tuesday they are thinking about inducing her. Too bad I will not get a chance to see the baby for a long time. There's always pictures and videos, I guess.
I was planning to make this a short blog, but then I started babbling about what I'd do if I had money and now it's really long. So I'm done! Thank you and good night.
xoxo,
