I have a shoot tomorrow with Cindy. The plan is to go and explore an old abandoned mining town in Arizona and hopefully get some good images. I have not been to this location before so I am looking forward to it. A full day of fun.
Here are some pics of me from previous shoots.....

This week so far has been busy and hectic. I want rest, rest in my head. I made sure to watch the annual Victoria's Secret show.....let's see. Candice Swanepoel started off the show right, fierce and gorgeous. Her outfit was WOW. She is WOW. I felt bad for the girl that fell on the runway, Ming Xi. Fell in her own hometown while her Mom was watching the show....
The performers were BORING this year. I think that Harry Styles wants to be Mick Jagger.
Did you know that Mick is 70 something and recently became a Dad again for the 8th time (that he knows of at least) and his latest girlfriend, a different girl than the newest addition to the clan's Mom, is 23. Confusing? I know. Mick has it going on though....
Anyhow....the girls were beautiful (back to Victoria's Secret) but I think the kissy faces at the end of the runway are becoming a boring. How about a middle finger up instead? Just for fun!? Or a silly face....something different? And some of the girls can't walk, the runway that is. Please practice.



How about some local Vegas news. Some guy robbed the Bellagio and he is still a free man. The amount he got away with is undisclosed but I think it is a safer gamble to rob a casino and get away with you winnings than bet on the tables and most likely lose. Perhaps I should rob a casino too?
Then while I was sitting and watching TV relaxing the other night, Breaking News comes on.
A SWAT standoff right around the corner from my house, walking distance. My area is hot (Tha Block Is Hot like Lil Wayne said), a few years ago that Nowsch kid shot and killed a lady around here, I drove past the location going home that night and the police were putting out evidence markers for bullets.
Since I am also Tati News I got in my car and drove over to the action, took less than a minute. Nothing interesting to report, the area was blocked off with yellow tape and police cars. Meh. Tati News drove back home and went to sleep.



The other night I went over to Roxy's house for glögg, snacks and non stop talking for a few hours.



This was the view on one of the walks today with Chhaya.



I spent this evening with my laptop. Watched a Swedish show.....and now it's bed time.
I actually had a rather taxing day today, I am looking forward to sleep and letting my mind and body rest.

It was destination IKEA today for some comfort food. I spent several hours last night watching Swedish TV and missing Sweden. So the best remedy I could think of was a visit to IKEA. I got the vegetable balls for me and the meatballs for Chhaya. If you present the IKEA family card at the restaurant you get a free coffee with refills (påtår in Swedish).



I ❤ Sweden.



The view from the IKEA parking lot. It was windy today and the temperature dropped.



Chhaya devoured the meatballs.



Tomorrow night the Victoria's Secret fashion show airs on TV, this year it was held in Shanghai. I LOVE the Victoria's Secret fashion show! The girls, the outfits.....love it! I have to watch it. They had the Miss Universe contest here in Vegas the other night, that doesn't interest me at all although when I was a kid I would watch it but now I find it kind of lame. Beauty competitions feel so outdated.....the girls are trying to come off as caring and selfless (yeah right) when they answer the "deep" questions when in the end all that matters is the parading around in a bikini and getting that crown.
Back to the Victoria's Secret models.....I really like Bella Hadid. Her body, long limbs, flat stomach, nice waist. And I like her face. Yes, I know she had surgery on her face but even I that is natural would consider going to Bella's surgeon. The nose and lips are gorgeous. So....should Bella take The Weeknd back? I think they were cute together....so perhaps she should. If he truly realizes what he lost and understands what he had when they were together. Selena and Justin should be a couple, besides Bella is so much prettier than Selena and I suspect more mentally sane. Yes....I sound like a teenager now but I really like Bella.
Oh.....and the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle engagement? I think they make a GREAT couple! They look happy, so congratulations!
What else.....it's a month left to my birthday. And I need to go to bed now. Tired.

So destination Vegas for a while.....as usual I have been very busy since I arrived in town.
Let's see....A spectacular display of colors sunset right past Beatty.....I wish I could had stopped and watched it and taken more and better pics but I was in traffic.



When I woke up the next day I got my latte from Madhouse Coffee and the Las Vegas Weekly to see what's going on in town. Since I got here it's been record heat. 80 degrees at the end of November is hot for Vegas.



Yesterday I met up with my cafe crew and had Thanksgiving with them. Here I am with Emily (the owner) and Stacy (the manager). My girls. I miss them.





Chef Gabi was not with us but she baked a delicious apple pie that I was very happy to gobble down, I sent her this pic thanking her for her talents in the kitchen.





I had one drink and some sparkly wine, so I felt very funny and tipsy. A selfie with some lime made a lot of sense.



And tonight I had dinner with my friend Theresa at Grimaldi's. We both love Margherita pizza so we had one each.



It's getting late and I am taking Chhaya on a walk around the neighborhood. Then sleep.
Busy day tomorrow again.

Welcome to Nevada.....yes I am in Nevada, took a little trip. It's late and I will sleep soon.
My right ear and the right side of my throat hurt when I swallow. I drove through a small town called Denio. It's on the border of Oregon and Nevada, the Nevada side. People live there (in Denio), I don't know what they do there but people live in all kinds of places. I guess I could live isolated far away from everything if I lived on a very large farm/ranch of some sort with many animals that I could occupy myself with. And internet. And a twice yearly trip to NYC and some other big city to break up the farm life. If no animals and internet I would have to escape. Now it's sleep time......I have not reached my destination yet. Continuing the journey tomorrow.

Sunday today.....woke up a bit too early. Fell back asleep again with Chhaya cuddled up close to me. I loooove sleeping together with her.
Then I went and got a latte of course, read up on the latest news and met Desi at the gym so we could move around bit and not be stagnant. I really wasn't in the mood to move anything today so I had to really force myself and I felt cranky about doing cardio for a few minutes but afterwards I was happy that I did drag myself to the gym.
Then I did errands and got food. Normal Sunday stuff. Decided to try an ice cream called Turkish Coffee. Very coffee tasting.



Can you believe Christmas is around the corner? And 2018? 2017 is coming to an end.
