Well, this is it....2016 is coming to and end and 2017 is about to begin. I hope you feel good about that. If not, it's OK.....in a few weeks, even a few days, everything will be back to normal again.
To all of you wherever you are.....I hope you are warm, safe and in good health and spirits.
Happy New Year, Gott Nytt År - I will see you in 2017.

Here are my pictures from this months shoot with Cindy at Three Kids Mine in Henderson Nevada. This is where you can find an amazing work of art called Wheel of Misfortune painted by somebody called Aware. I love this location. I am glad we (me and Cindy) went out there and did the shoot. Thank You Cindy! ❤

Since I threw in some of my 2016 selfies I also need to show you Chhaya's pretty 2016 pics. My much loved baby girl.....so amazing in every way. Just look at her! ❤







Proud Mama. With her little mousy babies.....







Many hugs to all the responsible, caring and loving pet parents out there. Animals.....ALL animals are amazing and beautiful. Please respect them and be kind to them. ❤

A few months ago I came across this ad while browsing through a magazine.



So for the meager cost of $47 (if paid in advance) or $67 (if paid at door) you can learn how to take the "perfect selfie" to best represent yourself on social media. And feel fabulous. Then there is some lame mention about inner and outer beauty connection, nutrition and bla bla bla. Really now?
Well, if you give me.....say $40 I will teach you how to take a perfect selfie. I can meet you at a local coffee shop and give you a lesson, my latte is on you. In fact I feel so generous and kind that I will teach you now, for free! Take camera, point at yourself and snap pic. TADAAAAA! Selfie! I take many pics of all kinds of stuff. I must never lose my phone because whomever finds it will discover a treasure picture wise. Quite a collection of pics in my phone of all kinds of interesting things.....I renamed my phone to "the selfie machine" a while back.
I wonder if anyone paid and attended this perfect selfie class? Seriously.....don't. What is this world coming to.....LOL? Oh and I might as well throw in a small lecture on skincare now. For free. Avoid smoking. Even secondhand smoke if possible. Unfortunately I have been unwillingly subjected to way too much secondhand smoke - gross. Avoid drinking too much and hard drugs. Or you will look like a wrinkle face in your mid 30's or earlier. Unless you don't care that is and if you don't care then hey - good for you. I have seen ladies in their mid 30's with more wrinkles on their face than my butthole has wrinkles (it must be their inner beauty shining through). But life will also age you because life eventually does. And tanning beds. I wish I would had never used a tanning bed. Not good for you. As far as nutrition goes I can't give any valuable lessons because I don't diet and I eat a lot of sugar, something that is supposedly not good for you.
I don't drink enough water either. Perhaps I should start......? I have a vision of me starting each day with a large glass of water with some lemon in it followed by 30 minutes of yoga. Yeah right......maybe one day. I have been so lazy lately with exercise and even washing my face.....whatever I'm just not motivated. And I like exercising and washing my face, I promise!
Well, here are some of my latest selfies from my selfie machine. I might as well throw in these 2016 selfies before the year is over. New ones next year.
No filter or blur tools here......if you see an "imperfection" then you can zoom in on it and inspect it even closer. At least I look this way in real life too. Do not fall for the mostly fake world of Instagram.
Tired, just woke up and cold early morning at work.



Trying on a friend's glasses after a loooooong day.



Golden sunshine.



Looking cranky.



Hello Kitty.

XOXO



And those were just a few of my fabulous selfies.......!

Last night me and my cafe squad had a night out. First we saw the Australian Bee Gees show. One of the girls I work with is married to one of the guys performing in that show - super cute couple. Then we saw Thunder From Down Under. I was trapped in a large room with shrieking ladies of all ages, they brought a woman on stage that was celebrating her 80th birthday and her 60 year old daughter was there too. The birthday girl got special attention and was very happy.
I have seen this show once before. It's not bad but I prefer watching women dancers over male but the guys do put on an entertaining show. We had a really good time laughing and bonding, I really work with a great group of people.





Today at work I found the best radio station ever, tons of 80's and George Michael songs - I was singing all day. I am the singing barista now. And I am still sad over George Michael...... 😥
I made lemonade at work. Isn't that what you are supposed to do when life gives you lemons? Make lemonade?



We have lavender tea. It looks and smells amazing but it barely tastes like anything. I like Earl Grey and English Breakfast and I am also hooked on the Holiday Tea.

We got another 5 Star Yelp review today and here it is......"Had an MRI around the corner from this place and my husband came in for a croissant and an Americano. He was so impressed with the place that he brought me here when my imaging was complete.
I had a mocha latte that was perfect. Light foam on top and perfectly chocolaty without being overly sweet. Warmed me right up! To eat I had the chicken salad sandwich on a baguette and damn, the bread was perfect! Sometimes a baguette will be so crispy outside that it cuts your gums when you take a bite, but this was firm on the outside and french-bread chewy on the inside. The salad itself was perfectly seasoned and the grapes gave it just the right sweetness.
Although we live on the opposite side of town, we will surely be driving out here again to enjoy this place. And have a raspberry macaroon!! Omg yummy!!!"
And guess WHO made the Americano and the "perfect" mocha latte? ME! And I took the orders and brought the food and drinks out both times.....I got really happy to get such a nice description of my mocha latte.....the owner gave me extra praise today.
Check out me in my work aprons......Can you spot our cafe pet Basil? That day some man told me, "You look very sexy in your apron"......I was like....."Thanks"? LOL. I have a few "weird men giving me attention" stories that happened lately. Perhaps I should share them so we can laugh together?
As always, my status is unattainable and unavailable unless you happen to be a select few and to find out who that very small selection is you have to read the blog.....



And this is our latest apron, very cute I think.



EDIT ! Oooops.....I made a mistake, I did not make the Americano my co worker Stacy did. I prepared the croissant and served the Americano and the croissant. But I did make the mocha latte. I realized this after writing and had to edit my entry.
