First Snowfall

This was me after slowly waking up around 11 am this morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed? Not really. It was pouring down outside I noticed when I peered out the window and I was like,"Yeeeeeeayyyyy, I just love it here!" And I don't know what you might look like when you get up but after sleeping all night with a thick layer of Nivea creme on my face, this is what I looked like today. I know some people pretend to always look super gorgeous on fakebook.....I mean facebook and use all kinds of beautifying filters for their Instagram pics but whatever......I'm always amazing, even like this.



As I have already grumbled to anybody willing to listen, I am bored out of my mind here in this small town, actually village. I'm sorry if I'm offending any Kenai Peninsula folks that just love to live here but to me......it is the most uninspiring place I have ever lived in. It might be ok at best if you grew up here and have family and friends in the area that you have known since kindergarten, or if you are a Mom with a couple of kids to busy yourself with.
I'm kind of stuck here for now, that's all I can say about that. There's not much to do here, at least none of the things that I find interesting. Of course, hiking and camping and I do that when I can but I did plenty of hiking and camping in Nevada too, that's when I lived in Vegas. Most of the people I came across here are either into drinking as a recreational activity, using meth also as a recreational activity or as a really bad habit, or have toddlers to care for - I have none of that. So finding a good friend have been rather not so successful. Sure, I could be hanging out with others getting drunk but since that's really not my thing.....I guess I will be solitary, for now.
So after my usual daily latte stop I decided it was time to go to the gym. I haven't been there for.....over three months. Since I got back here from South Dakota I have basically been stagnant. And since I'm not into the big ass look on myself I need to start going to the gym a few times a week. No depressing diets or diet pills for me. Or meth. So I did the elliptical for 30 minutes, enough to get sweaty.



Then some chin dips and pull ups on some machine that looks like a torture instrument.
I have a weak upper body and I am going to try to work on that this winter. Besides not wanting a big ass I'm also not into having a big stomach. I don't want a six pack or large bulky muscles either, I like the lean look with a flat stomach. I'm talking about what I prefer on MYSELF, if you like big asses or six packs and defined muscles, then good for you......we all like different things. I usually put on some weight here in the village during the winter, like I said it's a boring place.....not much to do besides eating and watching tv......and after a while that drives me close to insanity. I am glad I have the blog and that I do escape now and then and go and work in different places. But I can't just drop Chhaya off at the kennel once/month. That makes me feel guilty. I'm happy that I went to Burning Man this year and to New York City a couple of times last year, plus some other fun trips. And as far as moving away from here.....well I hope that will happen sooner than later but you never know. Maybe I will completely change my tune about this place in the future and just grow to love it? Maybe.
I need a fun hobby, like cooking meth or sleeping with married guys for some fun drama (NOT)......or snowshoeing. Perhaps making large ice carvings in the wintertime?

Then the rain stopped and it started snowing. So November 10 was the first snowfall in my neck of the woods this year. The winter will be looooong and it has arrived.



Also Sharon asked me if I have any makeup to spare, somebody stole her make up. I mean, gross, why would you steal somebody's makeup? Go steal your own at Walmart. Funny thing is that I was going to give away some of my make up that I just don't use, a few of the things are even unused so perfect timing for Sharon. I gathered up some stuff for her and some perfumes that I just don't use. Like Flowerbomb by Victor & Rolf, smells great but it's not my scent.



Later on this fine and snowy evening I made some apple pie.



So I know that I will always feel better, even on a rainy and boring day, when I can make somebody else happy. If it's helping out with something (like giving Sharon some of my make up) or giving somebody a sincere compliment for something. I did that twice today. And a compliment doesn't cost anything. Anyhow, now you all know how I entertained myself this kind of boring Sunday in the village.
