Welcome to Chaos !!

After hearing some of the girls at work talk about quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) Tatiana too wanted to try it. So she went to Organic Oasis and got some. It was delicious, now she cooks it at home several times a week.
Quinoa is a grain, or a seed, it is an ancient food and really nutritious and really yummy!
You should try it!

So the other day I went to PIAS, a store on 4th Ave where you can find all kinds of things from Scandinavia, mostly Norway and Sweden. I bought a traditional candle holder that most homes have on display in the windows in Sweden during December.
A lady working in the store told me that there would be a Lucia celebration today at Viking Hall in town. So I went and it was fun. There was glögg!
And risgrynsgröt, one of my favorite foods, it's a rice porridge, served with cinnamon, butter, sugar and milk to your liking.
Then there was a Lucia train, that was really nice. Btw, I was Lucia once, in 6th grade. And then some singing and dancing around the Christmas tree. So nice, but of course it made me miss Sweden even more!!!!

So it's getting closer to Christmas and I miss Sweden, a lot ! Today, December 13 they are celebrating LUCIA in Sweden, a wonderful tradition. There will be singing, a LUCIA train, lussekatter (LUCIA day marks the opening of the Christmas season in Sweden). Lussekatter are delicious saffron buns made in any number of figures: cats, "S" shapes, or figure eights), glögg (a Swedish drink for a cold winter evening). Glögg is a heated, spicy and sweet wine, a bit like the German Gluchwein, delicious. It is so nice, Christmas-y and yummy and I am not there!!!!
I miss my friends, my real friends. What am I doing here? Seriously. I am sad. Sometimes life sucks. I love Chhaya, she is my angel.

Tatiana has been feeding her gossip magazine addiction this week, due to an unexpected and annoying stomach flu. And now YOU NEED to know what Tatiana has to say about some of the latest happenings in la la land.
Britney - (Spears that is), it was Britney's 27 birthday on Dec 2. Tatiana loves Britney, she loves her a lot and thinks Britney is great in every way. She is so hoping Britney will take the world by storm with her new album "Circus" and the rumored tour. But she thinks that there is a small chance that Britney will get ill from all the pressure that's on her now. Britney said it herself, she is sad. Tatiana feels bad for Britney. Britney needs to go to a rave with Tatiana, a whole night of dancing, giggling and looking at cute boys and girls will help Britney for sure.
Paris and Benji broke up. Tatiana knew that would happen. Benji was just eeehhhh......not up to par. Paris should be with Stavros. And she should donate some money to Tatiana. Yes.
Lindsay and Sam - very cute together but Tatiana does not think this will last. Lindsay is too young and she still likes boys. Sam will not share Lindsay with a boy. She is all butch (yum). Sam should come and find Tatiana after it is over between her and Lindsay.
Btw Tatiana loves Lindsay's line of leggings, 6126, Tatiana loves leggings. Tatiana needs some of those leggings!
Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz - very cute and a good fit, they seem happy. Also their wedding had an Alice In Wonderland theme. That is awesome! Next year Tatiana is going to have an Alice In Wonderland theme tea party for her birthday at The Four Seasons, it is going to be great!
Jessica Simpson - still annoying, even more so with plumped up lips, now she looks even dumber. Tatiana didn't think that was possible. Lip injections are ugly.
Madonna - her divorce and rumored A Rod romance is just stupid. Why this A Rod character? He looks like a meat head. She should had worked on being married.
Why do so many give up on their marriages? That's weak. It's not going to last with A Rod and she will miss the old husband.
Heidi Montag and Spencer - seriously, why are they even around? They are so missing at least a few chromosomes each. Spencer looks like an ape.

That's probably all that Tatiana can muster up for now. She is sure YOU are thrilled to know all this information, right? And if you do have any questions about any celebs, ask Tatiana, she knows everything.
It's getting late and Tatiana is going to go to bed. Hopefully she will have a dream about hot vampires. Goodnight!

Today me and Kennedy enjoyed ourselves at Allure Spa with massages and facials. What girl doesn't love going to the spa?
I love facials ( I am a facial connoisseur), massages and pedicures with intense rubbing of my tired feet.....The spa time was great and much needed!
Thank you so much Ross, you ARE the best indeed!!!

Woke up kind of early (for me), around 9 30 am because I had an appointment with the optometrist, needed a new prescription so I can get new contact lenses. Time to trash the old ones.
First thing first though, took Chhaya out. Then I went and had breakfast, huevos and coffee with lots of milk and sugar. I love breakfast. After the appointment, some walking around in the mall, then Borders where I got a hardcover copy of Twilight . Excited over it. Then I got a chai. A venti hot chai. Came back home, got online, started reading Twilight , decided that I want to see the movie again because Edward is soooooo hot, felt lazy, napped a little. Got on the phone with some friends in Vegas. Took Chhaya out for a longer walk, lots of fresh snow, she loved it. After that, drove to Fred Meyer, got some groceries, Came home, made myself a large salad, tea with sugar and lemon, ate some cake. Read more Twilight . Decided that I am too lazy and unmotivated to work, I deserve a day off. Will stay in, read, cuddle Chhaya and read. Super exciting, right?



Last night at work though was more exciting that usual! Amber, my pretty raver girlfriend came in. She is so cute! Yummy!!! Maybe we'll go to a rave together one day. Played Paul Van Dyk For An Angel . Classic.
