Welcome to Chaos !!

Tatiana has to get dressed and venture out in the cold for some food and latte.
Noooooo.......it is COLD outside and warm on the couch. Tatiana is tired of bundling up in big jackets and thick pants.
But, it is a little after noon and time to start the day. Chhaya needs to get out and there is laundry to be done.
The daily routines are waiting.....and that hot vanilla latte.
YUM!

Decided to stay home tonight since I really needed to take take care of business around here.
Chhaya got a bath, not her favorite thing to take part in but she is now clean and sleeping under a warm blanket.
Then I dusted and vacuumed. Earlier I mopped the floors. After writing this I am going to scrub the tub and take a bath.
I want this place to be clean. I love it when it's clean at home. I don't like it messy. Well messy is ok but not dirty.
My place in Vegas is way larger than the apartment I have here in Kenai. I have a one bedroom here. But that's ok for now.

Speaking of Vegas.....I have a memory to share.
People always think that working as a dancer in Vegas means that you make all kinds of money.....lots of money.....
Well, I can only speak for myself, my friends that I danced with there and from what I have seen. Usually the money is ok.
There can be some very bad nights and some good ones but from my experience having amazing money nights consistently, that is not going
to happen. Unless you do more than just dance. Which some girls do, of course.
I went gambling with people I met at work a few times, always brought another friend with me. And it was almost always too much of a hassle
to be worth it. I do know girls that had great gambling experiences with people they met at work though.
One time I met, what seemed to be a very cool and fun guy, at Crazy Horse Too. We got along really well and he asked me if I would like to
join him for some gambling. I was kind of over work that night, so I said that I would go but only if I could bring my friend Shelley with me.
AND since we were leaving work early, we needed $ 350 each just to go and some money to gamble with.
To make up for the potential loss at work. Not unheard of in Vegas.
And I also made sure that he understood that it would be gambling ONLY and no more than a few hours.
He seemed to get it, agreed and off we went to gamble.
Since me and Shelley are polite we didn't want to ask for the money upfront. HA! My advice is, take the money first, forget about being nice
and polite. We gambled for a few hours. It got to be a little after 5 AM and we said we needed leave pretty soon. Tired.
He said he had the money in the room. Ok, fine, up we go to the room. I wasn't worried because in between me and Shelley,
we can fight especially Shelley - very feisty.
I saw that he had enough chips on the table in the room to cover our little gambling expenditure.
But once we got up to the room he basically said that he was expecting MORE and didn't want to give us the money anymore.
Well, of course we reminded him of our agreement and that we never even remotely made him think that there would be more.
Trust me, IF I was going to do "more" $ 350 wouldn't even begin to cover it.
So, we got pissed off, he got pissed off and starting shooing us out of the room.
The thing about him was that he had been wearing a pair of really expensive sunglasses the whole night. He was really proud over them, thought they looked really good on him and they were also newly acquired.
Well, since we didn't get the money, right before he closed the door to his room at the Bellagio, Shelley snatched the sunglasses off his face and
broke them in two pieces. He was not happy but whatever! Jerk!
So off we went, laughing........another night in Vegas......
And no, I have never done "more" for money. That is not for me. That part of me is only shared with people that I want to share it with.

Tatiana loves this ad - super hot. Especially the look on the right. That is exactly what Tatiana will be wearing this summer when fishing on the Kenai!

After working every night since Tuesday I definitely needed a nice, quiet night off.
Spent the day eating (of course), squeezed in an hour at the gym, got the latest fashion magazines. I NEED silver nail polish!



And there is a new shampoo that I want to try.....L'Oreal EverCreme cleansing conditioner, part shampoo, part conditioner. I love indulging in shampoo's and conditioners. I don't have any favorites, I like to try new products and switch in between many brands often.
I am also really curious about Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi line. Then there is a scalp treatment from Aveda that I want to try.



Oh, I LOVE and NEED these Fendi shades, how DA NANG! Tinted PINK. CUTE!!! You get for me!!?



Work last night was good. I was bossing all the men (my fans) around, that is always fun.
Met two nice guys from Texas. One was 50 % Polish and had never met anyone actually from Poland before.....he claimed that there are none in Houston. Really? I highly doubt that. Lol.
He was under the impression that Poland is still ruled by Russia and not a democracy.
I informed him that the Berlin wall fell in 1989, much due to the influence of the Solidarnosc movement that started in the 80's in Poland.
To be exact, in Gdansk. No, not Danzig - that is the old German way of saying it. It is Gdansk.
I was born in Gdynia and that is a town right next to Gdansk.
Though I should add here that I think finding true democracy anywhere is like looking for a needle in a haystack.



He also didn't know who my husband (lol) Putin is. Vladimir Putin that is. Who is working on becoming Russia's president again, though people over
there are actually mustering up courage and protest this. I was very surprised over this lack of knowledge I have to say......
This guy was perhaps in his late 30's to mid 40's, I am not that good at guessing a persons age since I don't obsess over that too much.
But he was a retired sniper, used to be stationed in Afghanistan. With that career path I would think that some knowledge in
world politics should be appropriate? Maybe? But then again.....there are plenty of topics I have no clue about either.....

Well, here are some pics of me from last night.....

Tatiana is resting on the couch. Chhaya is a very happy puppy, belly full of food and tired from a long walk earlier.
The weather has been "warm". Warm enough to enjoy the time spent outside, no need to bundle up and still freeze.
This means that Chhaya can go for long walks every day.
Ran errands earlier. Had to get an apple fritter and a latte.
In a bit Tatiana is going to jump in the shower and get ready for work. It is hair washing day today.
Tatiana washes her her hair every three days if she goes to work.
Here are a few pics from the last two nights.

Oh, here is a tip worth checking out. Go to www.missingmoney.com to see if you have any money floating around somewhere
that belongs to you!

I got back a little while ago from work, it's 3 AM. Since it was Valentine's Day still when I got to work, around 9 PM, I brought a cake with me.


And that cake was really good. I had two pieces, one piece is never enough for me, I have a serious sweet tooth.....


In honor of Valentine's Day I wore this necklace by Tarina Tarantino. Got it a long time ago in some store on Second Street in Long Beach, CA.
Love that place. I used to live there......


Work was slow but we had fun. I practiced making kissy faces as you can see......you never know when you have to pull your best kissy
face out of your sleeve.



I think Valentine's Day is cute. I know a lot of people that don't but that's them, not me.
It's not about getting stuff. I am a giver. So whether it's a cute card, a gift or a simple message - I think it is an occasion to recognize the
people that you care for. Did I get stuff for Valentine's Day? Yes. Chocolates. Pink wine. A gift card. Cards. ♥
And I haven't even checked my PO BOX yet.
But to people that complain about not getting anything, give something instead! You do not need a spouse or a boyfriend/girlfriend.
Give something to a friend. Or a stranger.

XOXO
