Yaey! The dirt roads around my house are finally snow free, so I went on the first outside run of the year. It's been a while.....
It felt GREAT! All that fresh, cool air cleaning my lungs. Doing it again tomorrow.
Have to admit that I got lazy later on and decided on staying home instead of working. Made panckaces with whipped cream and strawberry jam. In a bit I am going to take a bath and read, then sleep.
XOXO

Tatiana is fascinated with a lady named Hypatia that lived in Egypt a very long time ago. Hypatia was Tatiana's kind of chick.

"There was a woman at Alexandria named Hypatia, daughter of the philosopher Theon, who made such attainments in literature and science, as to far surpass all the philosophers of her own time. Having succeeded to the school of Plato and Plotinus, she explained the principles of philosophy to her auditors, many of whom came from a distance to receive her instructions. On account of the self-possession and ease of manner which she had acquired in consequence of the cultivation of her mind, she not infrequently appeared in public in the presence of the magistrates. Neither did she feel abashed in going to an assembly of men. For all men on account of her extraordinary dignity and virtue admired her the more."

She was smart and confident. Involved in literature. Men liked her. Tatiana can totally relate to Hypatia, perhaps they are interconnected?
But the best part is that Hypatia once threw her menstrual rags (meaning a Kotex or whatever other kind of pad women use when on their period) on an admirerer. Tatiana LOVES Hypatia!
There has been plenty of times when Tatiana felt very tempted to pull out her tampon at work and throw it at annoying men. But she didn't.
Though Hypatia (that lived a long time ago, probably in a patriarchal society) had the guts to do it! WOW. Tatiana is sitting here right now with a pad in her panties.....lol.....yes.....very yummy and SEKSI.....she knows. Hey, it's normal ok?! Maybe she should stuff this bloody pad in her Honey Dew's tonight and fling it at some random annoying guy at work? That will teach him!
And it will be a moment to remember. Tatiana is seriously thinking about changing her name to Hypatia.
"Next on stage......Hypatiaaaaa!!!"



(Hypatia by Charles William Mitchell). Hmmmmm......do you see the resemblence?

Tatiana is just going to write a quick hello here before she rushes out to get her daily latte. Her daily medication. Supposedly a couple of cups of java per day do all kinds of good things for you, like help fight off depression. Probably doesn't help with serious depression, more like the mild case of blues.
It is nice and sunny out so Tatiana is planning to roll out a blanket on the porch and lay outside and soak up the sun while she does a few loads of laundry. The downside is that there is STILL snow out, it is so annoying. Tatiana is tired of the snow already, she wants to see grass. This is how it is to live in Alaska, the winters are long. The snow is around until like the end of April at least. Depending on where in Alaska you are, this state is huge.
Later on tonight, Tatiana is planning to work. Maybe something fun will happen at work so she can entertain you all with some stories.
If not, there will probably be more pics of Tatiana in the mirror at work later this week.......lol.
Anyways, Tatiana has to go and get her medication now!

Stuff that I should get, really. I could make my own lattes at home. And a juicer would be perfect too, for a fresh and super healthy fruit or veggie juice every day. I just have to research which ones would make the best buy. I do like the Gaggia espresso machine though.

Three in the morning here......instead of going to bed I stayed up and watched movies.
First something called "White Irish Drinkers". I thought it was a good movie but so depressing throughout. Made me feel bad. It was painful to watch at some points.
Then I watched "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark". I liked it, I thought it was scary. From the very beginning it reminded me of one of my all time favorite movies - "Pan's Labyrinth". I LOVE that movie, it is so beautiful and so sad, I cry A LOT every time I watch it. And there is a monster in it that is so freakishly scary that it has etched a spot for itself in my mind. If you have not seen "Pan's Labyrinth" I think you should......!
So, I looked into who worked on "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and indeed it is Guillermo Del Toro that did "Pan's Labyrinth", no wonder I thought the movies had the same kind of feeling about them.


Besides I am fascinated by and love faerie lore, there are good and bad faeries. Growing up in Sweden I saw many John Bauer prints and listened to and read many of his stories, all about princes and princesses, faeries and trolls. Beautiful, beautiful stuff. Makes me nostalgic.





So very beautiful!
