North & South Dakota

Last night started like molasses for Tatiana. She was tired and on autopilot. But the she found her groove (all it takes is some good music while on stage) and the night turned out to be a success. We said good bye to our co workers.
Here are some pics from last night. Going back to Las Vegas (Lost Wages) today.
🙂

Tatiana woke up early and went for a run. Then she dragged a reluctant Julia out of bed and they went to the store/post office to send some Anna's cookies to Julia's Mom.
After that we made another trip to Wal Mart. We both needed memory cards for out cameras. Julia actually found a working digital camera in a plastic bag outside The Salvation Army here in Williston last week. Sometimes it pays off digging through random plastic bags outside.
Last day and night in Williston. Tatiana is excited! Back to Vegas tomorrow and then Los Angeles (El Lay) on Friday!
Last night at work was rather uneventful, it was kind of slow. The highlight of the evening was this photo Tatiana took with Darin, the bartender and his boyfriend Charles. Such cuties!
Also, here are two super fresh pics of Tatiana and Julia on some prime North Dakota hay bales. Less than an hour old! Enjoy!







Want something more to read? Here is what some Williston residents have to say about the story in the Williston Herald the other day.
All Tatiana can say is that she sleeps well at night, knowing that she is not harming anyone. Treat others the way you want to be treated. The Golden Rule.
One of Tatiana’s mottos.

Snow is in the air. It got colder. Tatiana has two nights left here before heading home. YEAY! So happy over that!
She is going to cuddle Chhaya for hours. Tatiana already has a facial booked and she is going to get a massage, in dire need of one. Then she is going to have dinner with one of her awesome friends, Mikey and unwind. Go to sleep in her big, comfy bed in her warm house. Bliss!
Tatiana got work confirmed at another club today. A club that she has not worked at yet. This will happen in a few weeks. Where it is you will get to know later. You just have to continue reading about Tatianas adventures.

Yesterday we went to Theodore Roosevelt National Park to see some nature and buffalo. Until then all that Tatiana had seen of ND was the inside of Heartbreakers, Daily Addiction on Main Street, the local Wal Mart, some food places and our living quarters. Tatiana almost felt like a trafficked sex slave! HELP!!!!
So we went on a little scenic outing. And saw some buffalo and baby buffalo. And cows and baby cows. Very nice!

Heartbreakers should change it's name to Jerry Springer’s Cabaret. Seriously. More fighting last night. Two girls got into it on the stage. Tatiana was busy giving a dance so she didn't see the drama on stage, unfortunately, she just caught the end of it.
It was one of the two troublemakers from the other night that got in to it with Chi Chi, that had a fight with one of the two the other night.
Let's call the two troublemakers "Corona" and "Patron" to make it easier, besides that's what they drink all night long.
Yea, so a couple of nights ago Corona and Chi Chi went at it, later that night Corona got a DUI and Patron got taken to jail with her for trespassing. They came back to work a few nights later. They must had not learned their lesson.
Because last night Chi Chi was finishing up her last song on stage (we dance four songs each set here) when a drunk Patron stumbled up on stage to take over. Started a fight with Chi Chi, on the stage, for a very happy and startled audience. Classy, to say the least.
The fight got broken up and the people ushered out. 10 minutes later another fight erupted, this time between a fuming Corona, in defense of her buddy Patron and another dancer Dior (small and super cute) in defense of her friend Chi Chi.
Tatiana saw this short lived but crazy fight. Seriously? What kind of a club is this?
Those two, Corona and Patron, should had got kicked out the first time they showed signs of their bad attitude. Why they even work at Hearbreakers is a mystery to Tatiana. Ok, Corona is pretty but way too crazy and aggressive. Patron is just a chunky, sloppy girl. Yuck.

Besides this, there are some issues with the music. We are only allowed to play the clubs cd's now. About 15 of them. Some AC/DC, Tom Petty, Blondie, old Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Ted Nugent (Tatiana doesn't know any of his music), Foreigner, Poison and some others that Tatiana can't think of right now.
The cd's lay scattered on the stage. We have to put them in ourselves, since there is no dj. (LANDIS, Tatiana needs you!!!) It's lame, cause it's like the same music every night. On repeat.
Tatiana is planning on following this rule for a night or two and after that she will sneak in a few of her own cd's. She has much more fun dancing on the stage to music that she likes and knows.

Besides Heartbreakers being the latest talk of Williston, Pearl the cute pot-bellied pig made the frontpage of the Williston Herald the other day.
Tatiana and Julia already met Pearl. SO CUTE!!!! Tatiana wants a pot-bellied piggy now.
Tatiana thinks that she should get the key to the city. Williston has not had this much publicity in a long time.
