Last night I was driving to go to dinner with my friend Linda and out of nowhere comes another car RIGHT INTO MINE. Yep. Cause I need ONE more thing on my plate, right? Anyway, the girl was young and in the turn lane and I guess she decided she didn't want to turn and decided to come into my lane, hence coming into my car. Boooooo. Hissssssss. So she hits me and KEEPS DRIVING. I am like SHIT!! She is going to hit and run..and I was trying to memorize her license plate number but she turned into a parking lot. When I got to her she was staring at her damaged car with her eyes in a daze. She was young and it was my guess that she had never been in an accident before. I felt bad for her but didn't say anything. It was her fault but I would tell the insurance company. And it was apparent from her young age and the look on her face that she had never been in an accident before and that she was going to be in trouble. lol.
I was NOT going to let the accident ruin my night so I went to dinner with Linda and she drove me home leaving my Aquarius Blue baby in the parking lot all alone. I left a note on her to hopefully ensure that she (hopefully you are picking up that her and she are my CAR!!) would not be towed overnight and she wasn't. So I called my insurance after dinner and I called hers today when I was finally able to get the correct number for the claims department. The other party had reported the claim as well. The father of the girl called me last night and there was a language barrier so I could't tell if he was mad at me or her when I said "I will be calling your insurance company. Your daughter hit my car." to which he bellows "MY DAUGHTER HIT YOUR CAR? WHAT? MY DAUGHTER HIT YOUR CAR??" And I said...yes...she hit me. And he kept asking that question over and over. I don't know what his daughter told him but I don't think it was the same as what happened. lol. But that is what the insurance company is for. To pay for it and get me whole again so I am not worried. When I talked to AAA today, they told me that the adjuster would call me tomorrow, they would get me set up with the rental car and get the damage assessed, etc. So I am sensing that the truth was told to the insurance company because of how they are willing to get things moving on their end as if it is the fault of their driver. I did not rear end her. She came into my lane...and smashed into me...from the left turn lane. She made the lane change and did not see me. Shit happens.
So my car was towed home. Tomorrow I will get to tell them what happened...and regail my tale for the 10hundredth time. lol. But just fix my car...get me a rental...and get me to where I need to go next week. I have some fun plans that I do not intend to miss for anything!!!!
Happy Sunday.

Life
I have never really been a blogger before but I think that it is the best way to keep people up to speed with me and what is going on with my life for those who want to know. lol.
A lot of changes have been happening for me that are both scary and exciting. In the last 2 months or so, I have broken up with my bf of 4 years, moved to a city that I have NO clue how to get around (thank god for my TomTom because I wouldn't even have been able to find a Target!!!), been laid off of my job and generally just had my life dumped on it's side. lol. The funny thing is that although some a lot of days can be challenging, I feel like somehow life is giving me new options and opening me up to new things, experiences, desires and changes. Change is hard. And I don't really like change. Wait....let me rephrase that...I really really really really don't like change. But when change is forced upon you in so many ways, it really does make you look at your life all over again and ask the questions "What do I REALLY want in my life? What do I not want to be surrounded with anymore? How am I going to come out the other end of this better than I came into it?"
Sometimes life forces changes upon us that we resist. I have experienced a lof of that recently. I have been digging my heels into the ground so hard to resist the change that I didn't even stop to think....hey...maybe this change is GOOD for me. I kept saying that these changes are not what I want. I kept saying that I just want things to go back to the way that they were and that if it just happened, that I would be okay again. But then I thought about it and it is totally not true!!! Why would I want things to go back to the way that they were? I loved my bf but we weren't happy. He knows it. I know it. He needs to find things out about himself and that is his journey. And so do I. And who knows what will end up happening there but something had to change. Something had to give, right? Things are touchy with that situation but I really really know that change had to occur. I was the one that made that change. And whatever comes from that will only be positive things now because it is all I will accept. My life will move forward and I will be okay NO MATTER WHAT. I am finally there and I get that.
I really felt like a loser for a little while. I guess that would be natural, though, wouldn't it? I mean, if every aspect of your life is changing all at once, doubts will creep in and that is just normal. For a while I felt so misplaced and fearful of the unknown. But in time, I started to realize that I need to EMBRACE the unknown and not be so scared of things to come.
I know now that there are many awesome things in my future if I just relax a little, have fun and let things be out of control for a while. For a person that wants to be totally in control of themselves, this is a lesson that I could not teach myself unless everything started spinning the way it did.
So for now, my job is to sit tight and just let things be what they will. Go out with my friends. Find new ways to have fun. Get my ass walking these gorgeous hills. Eat less crap. Make more love. Work on getting rid of the bags under my eyes. Play with my son at the park. Smile every day. Laugh. Dance. Go out. Stop sitting in my room so much and be with lots of people...new and different people. Observe. Smirk. Just be. Do all of the things that fill me with joy and the rest will fall where it may.
For the last 45 days or so I have felt shattered into a million pieces. But as a great friend told me, it is time to start picking them all back up.
