Welcome to Chaos !!

I have been eating a lot of Anna's gingerbread cookies lately.....in the evening with a mug of hot tea - yummy. I'm missing Sweden right now and thinking about when I should go again. Since it's such a long plane ride and I have so many friends there and family to catch up with I need at least two weeks. Last time I went I extended my stay because I didn't have enough time.





It's Thursday today....Throwback Thursday. My Mom has these two pics of me on display back home.



I'm not sure how old I am in the first pic.....five maybe? And the second like 18-19. I did my first real photo shoot and they (hair and make up people) made me up like that.

I heard some talk about two of the girls that worked here in the summer and their trips to the grocery stores around town. That they would dress up kind of SEKSI and go up to random guys shopping and advertise their "services". I don't know if they were approaching the men with some kind of invitation about coming into the club and see them naked or if there were invitations to spend other kind of time together. You know, play for pay. They supposedly did some of that also.
Sure, this was gossip but these two ladies built a nice reputation for themselves while being here.....so I doubt it is completely unfounded.
Now, going up to guys shopping for groceries can be rather risky. He might be there with his significant other that is just temporary out of sight because she might be bagging up some tomatoes or grabbing milk. If I would had seen two skanks trying to rub up on MY man, well I would had grabbed one of these fish whackers that you can buy at Fred Meyer and smacked them around a bit. Bitch whacker OK?!
Actually I am going to get one of these whackers, not to slap around some skanks with......I am going to slap guys around with it at work. Provide some extra discipline when they don't behave how I see it fitting. Boss Lady will be thrilled when I bring it in next time I work!

On the way back from Burning Man I stopped by Crater Lake, that's in Oregon. First of all, Oregon is a beautiful place, I need to spend more time there. I know there must be some amazing hot springs and hikes there and I need to explore more of Oregon. Crater Lake is magical. The color of the water is a blue I have never seen before, rich, deep and intense.
No picture I have is making the place any justice.....





The island out in the lake is called Wizard Island, a very fitting name. I can just imagine a Harry Potter style wizard living there with a few owls as company.
I explored the surroundings for a few hours.

















My dream right now is to get an RV, travel around the country and see beautiful sights, go for hikes and visit hot springs. Stop for a latte at cute or interesting cafes. Take my time, enjoy, dip my toes in the ocean, lakes and streams. Gaze at a sky full of stars in a forest somewhere. Fall asleep to the sound of chirping crickets and the wind rustling through the trees. All of that and more.

LOVE. ❤

I am very excited to announce that it's Breaking Bad time for me again. I am going to watch the whole show from the beginning until the end and savor every second. I loooooove Breaking Bad, I think it's the best stuff ever. Even better than Dallas that was my fave when I was little, oh and Little House On The Prairie too of course. When I was little (young teen or tween can't recall exactly) they would show Dallas on Swedish television and I thought Dallas was great, I was fascinated of what I saw. Everybody was so pretty (Pam and Lucy were my faves) there were horses and a ranch - in my mind back then Dallas was the way to live life. Never would I had imagined then that I would live in the US in the future, building up to having my own Dallas kind of life.....oh yes it's going to happen.
I'm not the only Breaking Bad fan, have you read Anthony Hopkins open fan letter to Bryan Cranston (that plays the fantastic Mr Walter White in the show)? If not, you should. Here are some snippets, "I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant! Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever. Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence. You and all the cast are the best actors I've ever seen."
I have to say I agree. The plot and the acting - superb. I love Walter and I love Jesse.
LET'S COOK!



And before anybody's crappy imagination starts running wild. It's freakin' baking soda and food coloring OK? I have humor, if you don't - too bad for you.

This will be my last entry about my Burning Man 2014 experience. To sum it up - I had lots of fun, I was happy, it was amazing, I want to go again and I'm very grateful that I had the opportunity to go and experience Burning Man again.

We camped together this year again.



GRATEFUL. THANK YOU! ❤ ❤ ❤



Some parting words that I read somewhere, I don't know who the author is......

"Come with an open mind and an open heart. Let go of any sort of agenda or expectation and you will be right where you need to be."

I'm not quite done yet with my Black Rock City experience.....I have a few more pics to share.



If you know me then you know that I don't like littering and I care, or try to at least......care for the environment. I mean if I was a true environmentalist I would not fly, so maybe next year I just bike to Burning Man? Yeah right, I'm hoping for an RV again! Well, I had to take a pic with this because it's so me and a few days later a couple of Black Rock City Earth Guardian volunteers came up to me and gave me a green bracelet and appointed me a Black Rock City Earth Guardian. That's right! Speaking of volunteering, so far I have arrived at Burning Man and enjoyed everything that was there, so generously awaiting me, at my fingertips. I might volunteer next year. MIGHT. Do not hold me to it but I have an idea of what I want to volunteer for! Leave No Trace, a message to live by everywhere you go!



This was the first day......it's been 24 days already since that first day. Going into Center Camp. Me from the front.



And the back.



Mooooore pics of me and......stuff.











At the deep Playa I found a very interesting medicine cabinet. A free for all fest. All kinds of goodies, I grabbed fistfuls.



I stopped at the Census wall of information, lots of interesting stuff to read. And I even completed the Black Rock City Census this year.
