I got the latest Elle yesterday to be read while I enjoyed every bite of these delicious cupcakes. MMMMMMMM!



I was disappointed with this issue of Elle, it was boring and full of crap. I did not like any of the fashion and the articles were all about finding a man, because if you don't have a man your life must not be complete, right? And a bunch of very valuable information that men prefer women that look young and dewy, so make sure you stay forever youthful looking, preferably like you are still in high school even if you are pushing 70. I was like BARF! Having said that, there is some MD in New York that promises that a laser that he uses in his office (Fraxel Thulium) will rid a person of 85 - 90 percent of sun damage in two treatments. That's kind of impressive! Maybe when I'm 60 I will do some of that laser.....so I can stay forever young looking! If I'm still vain when I'm 60. As far as the need of having a man in my life, that is of no importance to me. I'm happy without one and I am happy with one, IF it's a quality man that is. If he is not quality then it's better to be without one.
The only good stuff I came across (that I already knew and that I keep telling people) is that eating yoghurt.....(good quality yoghurt) and sauerkraut is good for your stomach. Lucky me, I love both yoghurt and sauerkraut.
Last night I had those cinnamon balls from Taco Bell. I sent one of my slaves out to get them for me while I was starving at work. Cinnabon Delights I think they are called. Never again. That crap made me feel queasy for the rest of the night. One girl I work with suggested I make myself vomit. Actually last night I wish that I could had stuck my fingers down my throat bulimia style to vomit up those cinnamon balls. But I have never done that before and I'm not about to start. But that was the first and last time I'm eating that crap. I haven't had Taco Bell in forever. At least ten years I think. Now I know why. Bleh.
So I was curled up on the couch at work all night long, watching videos of the mega rave Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium. For some reason we had a lot of children in last night, just turned 21, confused and full of annoying energy. No, I am not interested in dating you if you look like you are 16 and weigh 120 lbs. Please......leave me alone. The young ones are persistent little fuckers, kind of like mosquitoes. But kind of fun still.

Soooooo.......Ebola. It's here in the US now. Great. Do I have to start walking around with a mask on my face and a bottle of tea tree oil in my purse for disinfecting purposes?



I have been reading up on it, US reports and Liberian online news. What annoys me is the inconsistencies in the stories that are coming out. Stick to the facts and report the facts only, this is some serious shit. Ebola is not airborne yet.....but who knows, it might mutate tomorrow and spread the respiratory route.
I'm supposed to travel for work soon. But at this point I'm hesitant. I have not got my ticket yet. First of all I have some sort of anxiety related to buying plane tickets and arranging for travel plans. I don't know why but I really don't like doing that. I put it off for as long as I possibly can.
Then I don't want to be around hordes of sick, coughing and sneezing people in airports and on airplanes. People sneezing gross me out cause half of them just sneeze straight out in the air, like DISGUSTING! I do not want your nasty wet sneeze particles on me. Then the club I'm supposed to work at will have dudes from all over the country, some of them are really into exotic hunting. You know, going on trips to some African country to hunt and shoot some poor exotic animal to be displayed as a trophy. Well, who knows. Maybe they bring home a zebra rug and Ebola.
Yeah.....this Ebola stuff is crazy and frightening. This might be the start to the end of times for us humans.

Yesterday when I woke up everything felt difficult. I did not want to get out of bed, I did not want to take care of stuff that I needed to get done, although I forced myself and took care of everything that was on my to do list. Because I know that if I procrastinate then the next day is going to feel even more difficult. But it felt like the worst day ever (well in a while at least). PMS maybe? I had to force myself to go to work. And 9 times out of 10 that is the best remedy for a gloomy mood, at least for me. We have so much FUN at work, me and the girls. I get to laugh, gossip, sleep on the couch, fend off admirers (take a number guys the line is long and I'm still waiting for Rihanna), tell jokes, listen to music and sing along loudly American Idol style AND go home with money.....sometimes a lot, sometimes not that much but on average not bad.
So since Boss Lady and the Big Boss are away in the Bahamas, enjoying life and worrying about the club (don't worry Boss Lady, business is better than ever)......Tatiana the self appointed assistant manager is ruling the roost. Ball whacker in hand and the black boots on, parading around the club Putin style. I made sure all the girls made lots of money and we got rid of at least a pound of that blue baking soda, Mr. White would had been so proud of me! And Grady gave me a massage. At this point, if Grady doesn't willingly (without me asking) give me a shoulder and neck rub he knows that the ball whacker will hurt him where the sun doesn't shine. You have to train your slaves. Mine are trained well.



Not my behind (in case you wonder). But a very nice behind I have to say.



Check out this voodoo statue. I think it was carved by a shaman deep inside the Amazon jungle. Somehow Boss Lady got a hold of it, probably on one of her world travels and brought it back to AK. She actually gave it to me a while back but I politely declined the gift. I want a pink Prada Bag instead Boss Lady! Thank you very much. I don't think I would be able to sleep at night with this voodoo statue on display in my house, plus it fits the club way better.
It's displayed behind the bar stage (unless I take pics of it that is).



Today I feel GREAT! My gloomy mood is gone and I am ready for the weekend. I hope you are too!

The weather has been so nice here lately, sunshine and blue skies. Not warm enough to tan outside anymore and I probably have to retire the Havainas like today, too cold for flip flops now - at least for my feet. But it's not too cold for a nice hike through the forest. So yesterday afternoon was spent doing just that - hiking. Or it was more like a walk on a path through the forest. Very easy. Beautiful day for a walk.
We went to Engineer lake, that is off the Skilak Lake Road. Turn when you see this sign, minus the person climbing it of course.



After walking about a mile you will get to this cabin, a US Forest Service cabin that is available for public use. I have stayed in it before (twice). You can rent that cabin and others here www.fws.gov/refuge/Kenai/cabin.html And it comes with a boat!





My little Einstein enjoyed her time in the forest.











Chhaya and friend. ❤



Afterwards we got pizza from Papa Murphy's (my first time for pizza from there) I got some pecan pie from Stabucks and then we watched three episodes of Breaking Bad. A great day!

The last two nights I have been immersed in music videos on youtube. I love music videos, I used to be addicted to MTV and other similar channels back in the day. So I have been on a personal late night nostalgic journey, remembering when I used to go out in Sweden.....almost every weekend since I was 13. If I missed a weekend it was a personal disaster. When I got a complaint for unruly behavior once from a teacher my Mom did not allow me to go out clubbing (well, more like dancing) the following weekend, I thought I was going to DIE! Me not going out? Unheard of!
And a few years after arriving in the US I discovered raves but that's a whole other chapter. Some of the BEST times of my life have been in a club or at a rave - dancing. I love to dance. Anyhow.....
So while looking at music videos last night I was texting with Mandy, it's like our nightly thing as of lately.....she was telling me about some rather sad stuff. So to cheer her up and steer the conversation in a different direction I wrote, "Depeche Mode" cause I was watching a bunch of Depeche Mode videos since about an hour at that point. She immediately writes back, "How in the hell did u know I was listening to that right now?"
Weird huh? She didn't even know I was on youtube listening to music/watching videos. And of all the music out there we were both listening to Depeche Mode. Mandy likes chameleons, spiders and other insect like pets. I don't. I love latte, she is not a big fan. We both love Depeche Mode and happened to listen to them at the exact same time last night. We are both dancers. We both use MAC's. I'm a Capricorn she is a Pisces. She has three Chihuahuas and I have a pitbull. We both ❤ the color pink. All of those details MUST mean that we were separated at birth, Mandy IS my sister or my other soul spirit human. LOL.



Speaking of Depeche Mode. I love them. I was lucky enough to see them in concert in Vegas years ago. AMAZING. OK! AMAAAAZING. I would love to see them again.
And I finally found a 20 ounce cup for my lattes so I don't have to waste paper cups anymore. I have been feeling bad about being wasteful. I have a couple of 16 ounce cups but since about a year now I've been drinking 20 ounce lattes. Now I have a cup for them. Perfect.

I got up kind of early today. I had to go to the DMV. It's officially cold now. The lawn was frosty and I could see my breath when exhaling this morning.....brrrr.
What I want to do right now is bury myself deep under my covers and go to sleep but instead I'm going to take Chhaya out. I think we are going to go for a long walk, meaning one hour plus.....so I have to bundle up. We are going exploring I told her.
DMV has been a process. Their photo machine was down a few days ago.....I needed to get a new license since my old one has been expired for over a week now. But all of the picture taking machines in the whole state were down last week, yes imagine that! As a JOKE, I asked the lady handling my paperwork at the DMV if I could provide them with a selfie instead, "Hold on, let me find a real good selfie in my phone real quick". She looked at me like I was insane - LOL. Then I went back last Friday but the line was too long, ain't nobody got time for that! Today there were only 3 people ahead of me and the whole process still took almost 45 minutes, so imagine waiting with 30 people ahead of you. No thanks! Well, I got a license now (driving legally again) and I am happy with the picture, I'm smiling - OF COURSE. When I renewed my passport in Sweden a few months ago I wanted to smile on the passport photo but I was not allowed to. You are no longer allowed to smile (with teeth showing) on the photo used in Swedish passports. In my old passport photo I smiled and I love that pic of myself. But no more smiling. Bleh. Boring. I was going to share my old passport pic with you (cause I just love it soooo much and I am a huge narcissist as you all know by now......oh yes) but then I started to feel weird about it.....like what if some weirdo does something WEIRD with it? Trust me, I have encountered some WEIRDOS in my life with BAD intentions towards me, although cleverly disguised as a friend with good intentions. Sooner or later their true colors showed. So I scrolled through my phone and found this pic instead. I'm drinking Earl Grey tea at my friends cafe in Stockholm.



So yeah.....it's cold, I feel frozen. And I have some materialistic cravings. Not that it's going to make my life any better if I acquire these things.....but I still want them.
Pink and beautiful Prada bag. This bag is gorgeous! I NEED! I think that Boss Lady should buy this for me for Christmas......or anyone else that is feeling generous and appreciative of me.



New bodychain. I think I like this one. Or should I wait for new designs to come out? It's by TatiRocks Jewelry.



Shoes for work. Just because they are cute.

Boss Lady did it again! She used her gypsy skills and collected more money for the animal sanctuary in Nikiski. We already did that once, I took a $300 check over there, this is money we collected at work. So some strip clubs actually do give back and do good in society. Actually last Saturday me and Boss Lady joined efforts and helped out a lady and her little puppy that were in some distress.
This time Boss Lady put a cuss jar at the bar, every time you cursed you had to pay a fine. "Had to" should be taken lightly, we don't force people to participate in anything they don't want to. Since I sometimes like to curse (I blame it on temporary bouts of Tourette's) I had some nice men make donations in the jar in my name.....about $50 or so. Boss Lady collected close to $300 again (!) and she and the Big Boss are supposed to take a drive out to Nikiski to deliver the money and check out the sanctuary for themselves today. It's gorgeous out too, a perfect day for a road trip. Here is Chuck with the money. Chuck is one of Boss Lady's much loved and spoiled babies. He is a ferocious Chihuahua.



Boss Lady possesses some very impressive money making skills. She could give any sales people at the markets in Kazakhstan some serious competition, she can sell you anything even if you don't need it. Boss Lady can charm the wallet out of every man with her ways and ample bosom.
I told her that she should become a professional fundraiser person, like a one person Kickstarter. For example, let's say you want money for a certain cause, you would hire Boss Lady and she would in an agreed amount of time collect money for you and then in turn she would get a certain percentage of the profits. I'm sure she would do very well.
I am going to ask her to collect money for me next. I want a new beautiful purse, like Prada, Givenchy or something similar.
Today Boss Lady is a hero. Because of her the Alaska's Extended Life Animal Sanctuary in Nikiski will get some much needed donations. I do have great news about one of the dogs that I met when I went out to there last month - Buddy. He was shot in the leg and just got left to die by his previous owner (piece of shit). This big cuddly and happy baby got adopted! Look at that face! ❤



"Buddy is one of the reasons we are fighting for the Kenai Peninsula Borough to provide emergency Animal Services to area's outside of the cities here on the peninsula. Buddy was found shot in his own back yard. His leg was broken by the impact of the bullet. He now has a rod in his leg that will be removed in 3 months. He is available for adoption now to a responsible home."
