Welcome to Chaos !!

Today, March 23 is National Puppy Day. A very important day indeed I think. For us that have a dog companion, we know how much joy they bring us. I just watched a very sad but with a happy ending story about a puppy named Jordan that got thrown in a river after being severely abused. Search for "Jordan puppy" to see the story, you might cry! To the people abusing, neglecting, abandoning.....in any way shape or form mistreat their pets. FUCK YOU I hope you burn in HELL. I can't stand people like that, in fact I HATE them. Yes, if a person abuses an innocent animal then I have nothing but hate for them. When you are a pet parent you are responsible for the well being of your pet. Just as when you are a parent of a child. If you can't be responsible, please refrain from getting a pet or a child. Is that so hard to realize? If for some reason you have to get rid of your dog/cat/rabbit/hamster etc make sure you do what you can to find a good home for it. Sometimes life happens and situations arise that we have no control over and you might have to get separated from your pet/s. At least do the right thing if you are ever faced with that situation. As for me, I would become homeless if I had to for Chhaya. I would never abandon her, she is with me until the end and will forever be in my heart and soul. Just thinking about that there are animals out there right now suffering in the hands of human makes me so sad.
National Puppy Day is coming to an end. I'm in bed with Chhaya. Had a long day, got up at 6 am, so I think it's time to sleep now......

It's Sunday night, that usually means Sunday pizza for me, unless I make other plans. Tonight I had a date with myself. That means QUALITY time well spent. I love alone time. I indulged in reading about nonsense meaning gossip magazines but I find that very relaxing for some reason, I enjoyed every bite of a "Rustic Veggie" pizza from Pielogy and some ice cream.

I've had many people (usually cashiers) comment on my Pippi purse. I keep my money in it, so when I pay for stuff I fish it out of my handbag and the cashier person will see it. I get several positive reactions on it a week. usually they say that they love Pippi and grew up watching her on TV or reading a Pippi book. Well, I grew up with Pippi too and yes, of course I * LOVE * Pippi. I think most Swedish kids and adults love Pippi. Sometimes I inform the cashier that Pippi is from Sweden, not a single one so far knew that. Yes, Pippi is Swedish. The woman that came up with Pippi was the very beloved Swedish author Astrid Lindgren and she wrote many wonderful books, I've read most of them, if not all. When I was little my Mom gave me an audio book with Pippi's adventures. I can still vividly remember listening to the record and singing along to Pippi's song....."Här kommer Pippi Långstrump, tjolahopp tjolahej tjolahoppsan-sa Här kommer Pippi Långstrump, ja, här kommer faktisk jag. Det är inte illa, jag har apa häst och villa, En kappsäck full med pengar är det också bra att ha. Kom nu alla vänner, varenda kotte som jag känner, Nu ska vi leva loppan, tjolahej tjolahoppsan-sa"

Here are some fresh pics of me when I decided I had enough last night and was in the dressing room, finally took my shoes off and was ready to go home. SO happy to go home! Let me tell you, my poor feet ache and so does my body. I must be getting OLD!
Or perhaps I should do weekly soaks in Epsom salts, I know girls that I work with that do that. When I stop dancing I might commit to a series of Rolfing sessions so the therapist can really get down into the deep tissue in my body and "fix" whatever might be off. Because these heels and the moves we do when on stage and during lap dances are not kind to the body in the long run.



Then I want to show you what the desk in the dressing room looks like after an evening at work. What's mine is the green bag and the clothes next to it and the lock.
We have.....a mug of coffee filled up halfway with about five cigarettes floating in it. A plastic bag full of eye glasses and sunglasses, not sure what that is about. Props perhaps? A lonely bracelet. An empty KFC bucket with some gnawed on chicken bones. A can of coke. A used band aid. Also on the desk but not in the picture, another half full coffee mug with some drenched cigarettes in it. Gross. Smoking in the dressing room around non smokers?
That should not be allowed. But I have noticed that many (not all) people that smoke only think about themselves and that nasty habit they have. Their mindset is, "need to smoke now and I don't care who else is around". Interesting collection of items! Kind of like a crime scene.



But I have to get out of bed and out of the house now. I need my latte! This is SO me!

I know it's been out a while (since last month I think) so I'm a bit late but here are some thoughts on the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2015. First of all I think Hannah Davis looks super pretty on the cover. She is a gorgeous girl with that extra something that makes her stand out, amazing eyes. I know the cover photo caught controversy because of the way she is pulling down her bikini bottoms exposing the top of her privates basically. I have to agree. There is a fine line between messages. For Sports Illustrated I think they could had kept it a bit more "classy". I think pulling down the bottoms like that is a bit too much, perhaps a finger playfully on one of the hips tugging at the bottoms. Anyhow. But my favorite is Irina Shayk, she has been for years. If she would walk past me I would walk into a wall or a light post because I would turn my head to check her out. OMG, what a beautiful creature! Perfection. She did the cover a few years ago and I loved that cover and she has been in SI swimsuit issues for the last few years now. She was together with that Ronaldo football player guy but they recently separated. Good, I think she is way too good for him.
I love Sports Illustrated because of the gorgeous location shoots and the girls are very good looking for the most part. Of course they do use some photo shop and all that stuff and it's ALL about what you look like but that's the modeling business for you. It has nothing to do with personality and that's just the way it is. I enjoy looking at beautiful girls, it's like art to me. The body mixed with photography can be art.
Now, I am glad that there is no Kate Upton in this issue. I don't think that she has any business to be in SI. Sure she can do modeling but not in lingerie or a bikini, she does not have the body for it. She is too large and floppy and that is my opinion. I don't like Chrissy Teigen at all, Emily Ratajkowski is also a no and I'm undecided about Gigi Hadid.

Today there was overcast.....it's lovely when it's overcast in Vegas on a hot sunny day.
But yesterday I was tanning......I can only lay out for little at a time because I'm pale.
The weather is great right now.
I just got back from dinner with a friend. On my way home I grabbed some ice cream at Whole Foods. My plan earlier today was to work tonight but NO way. I ate too much and I am tired. I always have grandiose plans of going into work but as the day unfolds and I get caught up in doing other stuff and then feel tired later on, work is no longer a priority. That's typical me. If you don't have a schedule it is so easy to just stay at home. Me and Chhaya are going for a walk now and then I am most likely going to bed early. And that's about all I have to say for now. I am tired and my brain is not working. It wants to sleep.

The desert is blooming! Look at these pretty red flowers on the cactus that I saw in the park today.



I took out a HUGE spider that had taken up residence in a corner in my garage earlier.
With "took out" I mean, I scooped it into a bucket and set it free in the desert under a bush.
I feel a bit bad for it, I mean I took it from it's home and now it's in a strange environment with more chances of perishing but I just can't have huge spiders like that crawling around in and hanging out in the garage. I'm scared of spiders so handling that thing today was no fun. Then when I got home I spotted a smaller version of it by my front door but it quickly crawled away. So now I have to try and relocate that one too. Then I'm going to sweep the whole garage and spray it with some sort of an anti spider spray.



Last year a pregnant spider gave birth inside my house on the stairs, I saw a bunch of small dots come out of her and I realized those were babies. GROSS! I took her outside too and she kept on giving birth in the bucket I put her in. Then I sprayed the stairs down with Clorox. Barf. I'm probably going to have a nightmare tonight about spiders.
Right now I am soooo in the mood for a camping trip. I want to explore, eat Mexican food on the road, listen to late night radio while gazing up on a sky full of bright stars and relax in hot springs. Something like this pic I found today. Wonderful! Hopefully soon!
