Welcome to Chaos !!

Merry Christmas all my friends. I hope you are safe, cozy, well and happy wherever you are. ❤ ❤ ❤

I've had a couple of very busy days so the blog had to be put aside for a bit. Me and Chhaya are traveling. We are in Washington right now.....as in state, not DC. Chhaya flew, always stressful because I don't like leaving her out of my sight. But it went well and she is curled up sleeping by my feet now. It's raining where I'm at, I'm not in a super Christmas-y mood, the lack of snow contributes a bit to that I suspect. Last year I went skiing in a snowy and cold Girdwood for Christmas and this year I'm taking a trip.

I came up with the initiative to collect money for the local spay and neuter fund a while back. Since then we have collected money at work for a local animal no kill shelter and a women's shelter (I called that collection Tati's Tampon Fund). We gave money to the spay and neuter fund on a separate occasion besides the one I am mentioning today and I sent in a check for the amount and got a thank you card back. On the card it says that since the program began in February 2012 the Peninsula Spay and Neuter Fund has helped with over 645 spays and neuters. I'm happy to say that me and everybody else that contributed will aid in spaying and neutering more cats and dogs around here. Educate yourself about the importance of being a responsible pet owner, if you have a pet. Please. Do the right thing. Here is Chhaya with the money and the thank you card.

Chuck wanted to pose too.

Me and Cricket counted the money last night, cashed in the smaller bills for larger, I put the money into my account today and I'm sending out a check to the fund tomorrow.

I decorated the Christmas tree at work last night with these fantastic ornaments, just another of my brilliant and fun ideas! Now we can bring the guys over to the tree and ask them to pick a gift, which one do you want (out of the three). LOL! I should had embellished the "ornaments" with some rhinestones to make them more festive. I think this is a great ornament idea if you are looking for something interesting for your tree still. I guarantee your tree will be a big hit with those decorations!



And in case you are new to my blog.....you should know that I'm only JOKING. I feel I have to to point that out now and then, because I know that some people out there take everything seriously and don't get that I'm joking. I joke around a lot. So no, we do not gift men with STDs at work. In fact I think that knowingly spreading STDs around should be punishable.
I always tell confused guys that the chances for them to randomly hook up are probably higher at a local bar or regular club than with some girl they meet in a strip club. Although you know, there will always be those dancers that meet up after work. Speaking for myself, I have absolutely ZERO interest of getting to know anyone better. I guess St. Louis is topping the STD charts right now. Now you know.

Feeling a bit more motivated today and less PMS-y. Had an appointment with Chhaya at the vet today and that went well, she is 74 pounds and very healthy and very pretty they think at the vet. I know.....my Chhaya is the most beautiful. I am a typical parent, everybody thinks their own child/children are the prettiest and most talented and I feel the same way about Chhaya. Although she does get lots of compliments from strangers and plenty of breeding proposals. But Chhaya turns them all down. Just like me.
The weather has been gray and mild. So mild that if it continues like this it might be a record. Of course many parts of Alaska are freezing, like Prudhoe Bay, about -10 F right now.....but that is about 700 miles north of where I live. Still, -10 F for Prudhoe Bay for this time of year is not that cold.



I am also almost done with my Christmas presents for this year, just a couple of more cards to write and a few more things to get, then I have to wrap the boxes that I'm sending to Sweden in brown paper and fill out customs forms. A few days ago all the stuff, all the cards, stickers, paper, tape, ribbons etc were laying on the floor in a large heap. I wondered how I would even be able to finish it all but I did. As usual.

I am hiding at home, eating everything I can get my hands on and steadily growing since last Sunday. I am not in the mood for much although I forced myself to tackle the mountain of Christmas gifts and cards that had to be dealt with. I will breathe a big sigh of relief after my trip to the post office at some point later this week is over and done with. I am in a lazy mood, having a hard time getting out of bed since a few days now.....I just want to sleep or lay there feeling unmotivated, PMS in full effect. Definitely not social enough for work. I know that if I would had went there tonight I would had been cold and miserable, growling at people and hiding under my blanket. Instead I swept and mopped floors at home and did lots of laundry. So at least I got some stuff done. I did go to Kaladi earlier, Kaladi coffee is the only coffee that makes me sweat. It heats me up inside, in a good way. I left some magazines at the coffee shop that I am done with, I wonder if anyone will be able to read the Swedish ones?
Thinking about taking a bath now.....and then sleeping, or finding a good book to read in my book collection. I am in the process of rereading my books. One day I will put them all up in some bookshelves.....I'm looking forward to that.
