Welcome to Chaos !!

So a few days ago I tried a new place to eat (for me). Viva Las Arepas, they serve Venezuelan food there. I love trying new food as long as it doesn't consist of meat and insects. Viva Las Arepas is located on Las Vegas Blvd and Oakey. An arepa is a flatbread and then you get whatever fillings that are on the menu. I got two arepas and I thought they were good, especially after I drizzled some hot sauce on top. I also tried a sweet bread that I did not care for too much and a drink made form sugar cane and lime, it was OK but way too sweet.
I would go here again if in the area and hungry, the arepas were yummy and very affordable.

I've spent like five hours or longer in a mall marathon session with Julia this afternoon.
You need way more than a five hour window to cover even a fraction of what Las Vegas has to offer as far as shopping goes. The bra I REALLY wanted, a Victoria's Secret designers collection bra.....beautiful, white decorated with gorgeous crystals was only available in a 34D. I am NOT a D, Julia is a D but I have small boobs. The sales lady thought I should get it anyways, "try it on, it looks like it will fit you.". No, if I am going to get a bra that costs $200 plus it needs to fit PERFECTLY. So I had to decline, sadly cause I've been wanting that bra.
Oh well....life goes on. I got a "regular" bra instead. A yellow Very Sexy push up, that is the name of the style "Very Sexy". But now I'm not sure I like it that much, I might exchange it for another yellow I've seen that is very cute. I want a yellow bra. That much I know.



Anyhow. You can't have a marathon mall session without some fuel first. The fuel today consisted of enorme vanilla lattes with whipped cream and some pastries and then me and Julia were good to go.
It's been raining basically all day in Vegas. I came home a while ago with a pizza from Pieology, a smoothie and some dessert from Whole Foods. I am STUFFED like a Polish pierogi. Now I'm going to peak outside and if the rain has stopped or at least if it's not pouring down anymore I will get dressed and take Chhaya out. Then sleep.

Today me and Julia had pedicures. But first we went nail polish shopping. I found us a brand of nail polish I haven't tried before, Ginger+Liz. Julia wanted something dark so she picked this dark green shade called "Blowing Money Fast" and I went with a light pink shade called "Catch The Bouquet".



Then I had to go to Red Shoes and find another pair of platform heels. So these are my latest, hot pink and sparkly. Pretty!



So the current collection consists of these three pairs, all by Pleaser and all 7". And all of them have rhinestones.



To be correct, I do have one more pair of platforms but they are not comfortable so I don't wear them. I will give them away or something. Julia forwarded me some ad she found on Craigslist. Some guy (I'm assuming it's a guy) wants to buy "well worn heels" for cash, stripper heels are a huge plus. He is also willing to buy heels for dancers.....the only requirement is very pretty feet. My feet can probably pass for pretty. I've had random people compliment them before but since about two years or so now I have corns on two of my toesies.....BOOOOOO! I think it's called corn. Basically a slightly raised bump looking thing on top of the toe, it's from the heels I wear at work. Maybe there is some sort of a corn remover or something I can try, I know it's not calluses. Anyhow.....IF I do email this person willing to buy stripper heels for cash, Julia has to come with me in case we decide to meet up so he can inspect my heels and perhaps feet, in a very public place like Starbucks. Of course!
Actually Julia needs some new heels too.



Matching bra and heels. This might be tonight's outfit IF I go to work. I was planning on going but now I'm feeling tired and lazy. Chhaya is sleeping and I kind of want to lay down next to her, snuggle and go to sleep too......the bed looks soooooo inviting!

The days are going by fast and sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time to even put a blog entry together. It's a bit past 4 am here and I am getting up at 11 am, it looks like I will have a full day tomorrow. Since last time I wrote I tried some food I never had before and strolled around downtown Las Vegas last night. Downtown is FUN and I'm not talking about Fremont Street now but more about that another time. Right now I just want to show you my latest pics from The MadHouse Coffee from the other day. I should get paid to drink lattes and eat pastries and then write about it. Professional latte drinker - that sounds great.
I had lunch at The MadHouse Coffee and it was very good, tried an apricot macaroon too which was also good but they should be more generous with the apricot filling.....not enough. Their lattes so far have always been yummy and I also tried a passion fruit iced tea which I liked. I love the artsy paintings on the wall there. It's open 24/7 in case you are in the mood for a late night sandwich, snack and/or a coffee or tea drink of some sort. Plus you might run into me there!

I got some important stuff taken care of and sent off today. Stuff that has been stressing me out, stuff that I did not want to deal with whatsoever. Well.....it's out of my hands now for a while and that feel good. Relief! What a great feeling that is.
I met Julia at Madhouse Coffee afterwards. We exchanged Valentine's Day cards and gifts, better late than never. I got a notebook , good cause I needed one. I get ideas and need to write them down, instead I make a mental note and think I'm going to remember every single detail of my thought process during the idea and sometimes I do but sometimes I don't. So I needed a small notebook to keep in my purse. Also a super cute Hello Kitty box with candy inside and a monkey button. Very Da Nang! Julia always knows what I need and what I like.



So this is what I looked like today, for all my fans out there......
I got this yellow shirt (or whatever it is called) at a small store in Brooklyn almost three years ago. I did not wear it until my first night at Burning Man last year, I just did not know what to wear it with, no good occasion to wear it I guess. I brought it with me to Vegas and decided to put it on today. And it matches the roses outside my door, therefore the pics.

Woke up to a chilly and grey day and snow capped mountains......snow in Vegas! FUN!
Well, not a lot of snow.....like "let's take out the sled" kind of snow but still. So me and half of Vegas (seemed like) headed for Red Rock to hike, take pics and gawk at that white stuff on the ground called snow.
I started out this Monday, this new week with a latte and a chocolate croissant at Samba Latte. I've been at home hibernating, eating, feeling sorry for myself and PMS-ing the last two day.....NO MORE of that crap! Going outside and moving around is one of the best remedies for a crappy mood.



Red Rock was beautiful today. All mysterious looking with low hanging clouds, no sun today, kind of chilly.....my fingers froze a bit, Chhaya did not need any water, she had lots of energy.













Now we are back home. I just ate and Chhaya did too. Tonight's plans.....I'm not sure.
