Some more new laws that I can relate to. In Illinois it is now illegal for the 18 and under to go to a tanning salon to work on a tan. Illinois is not the only state where it is illegal for minors to go to the tanning salon. I think that's good. I went to the tanning salon when I was a teenager and I regret that now. The last time I used a tanning bed was in 2006. If I could undo all the times I baked myself in a tanning bed I would. A total waste of money, time and so bad for your skin, you probably do know it could lead to skin cancer, hence the ban for minors to use tanning beds. I think it becomes somewhat of an addiction for some, to have some color.
It makes them feel like they look better and healthier and especially for women, the darker you are the thinner you appear plus imperfections are less noticeable on your skin. As a dancer I know this. Stuff is so much more visible on pale skin. Lucky me I don't have too much "stuff" that I am worried about. I now only tan outside and even then I don't want to burn myself. Although I do like it when I look bronzed and tan. Once in a while I will use a self tanner. I'm sure it's not that good either but probably safer than frying in a tanning bed.
I am glad I don't have those tanning bed wrinkles on my face that I see on so many girls.
I mean, who wants to look like Tanning Mom? That mixed with smoking cigarettes = premature wrinkle face. Even botox can't help you then.
Also in Illinois, if you get caught flicking a cigarette butt out of your car window you might get in some serious trouble. I think that's great. I'm sure other states already have laws that refer to that problem, if not they should. People that litter are gross, low class and selfish. At some point a person has to realize that littering (and yes, that includes cigarette butts) is wrong. And if that doesn't register with them then I do think that they low class and uneducated.
If you want to walk on the somewhat wilder side of life, at least commit some more interesting crimes. Rob a bank. Make counterfeit money. Cook your own meth. Just don't mess with children, animals, nature and innocent individuals.

I met up with Marlene earlier today, we had coffee and a long talk about all kinds of stuff. It was nice.

Then I had to get groceries and do errands. By the time I came home it was already dark out and I am just feeling so tired for no reason besides that it is dark and winter. My body is telling me it wants to sleep but it's only 6 pm. But I feel super tired. Not sure what to do, if I should sleep or try to go to work in a few hours. I know that I am not too entertaining right now, complaining about being tired and sleepy but that's how I feel. Yaaaawn. It's January in Alaska. This is when some people here go completely bonkers, others drink more than usual and some take a trip to somewhere sunny and warm to replenish that lack of vitamin D. I am not planning on going mental, I am certainly not going to drink and I have no trips booked as of right now. Instead I will just deal with it and maybe take a nap now. And take some vitamin D supplements.

I am a tired girl....my feet are screaming for an hour long footrub. I'm just going to finish my tea and then sleep. It was glow in the dark for me tonight....it worked - of course.

Stripper dilemma of the evening.....which lash to pick? Life sure is complicated sometimes. 🙂 I am going with 105.

It is such crummy weather today.....it's been kind of gray, rainy and just bleh for a few days now. I didn't get out of bed until 2 30 today.....even I will admit to that I was in bed longer than I should. I just couldn't make myself get up. Chhaya was rolled up next to me, we were like two peas in a pod. But I took her on a long walk, picked up some dog poop in the yard and now I am enjoying a latte. So at least I have been somewhat productive!
So there were a bunch (thousands actually!) of new laws that took effect with the start of new year. The much talked about news about marijuana laws in Colorado.....but I'm not going to comment on that today. I mean....I am for the legalization of drugs anyways.
One law that took effect in Oregon is that it is now illegal to smoke (cigarettes) in your car when children are present. And children would be anybody under 18. I absolutely applaud and agree with that law. This should be a nationwide law, I guess it is a law in some other states as well. They should include pets in that law too. I'm sure dogs don't want to be in the car with you while you are smoking your gross cigarettes. Yes, it is child abuse to smoke in the car when children are present. And yes, I agree that it is. It is fucking disgusting.....that is what it is. I can't stand it when people are selfish and smoke in the car, even when the windows are rolled down. Nobody wants to breathe your gross and carcinogenic second hand smoke. Thank You!
Another thing I want to bring up......I think obese kids should be looked at as being exposed to possible child abuse. The parent is in charge of feeding the child. I don't understand how anyone can think it is OK that a child is severely overweight? That just brings on all kinds of bad health problems in the future. The future of your child, the future you created and is responsible for. Of course not everybody looks the same, some of us are skinny and some are fat and everything in between, as adults. But a child, toddler, tween and an early teen that is obese? To me, that is BAD and LAZY parenting. Yes, I will probably offend many by saying this, the US is after all the country with the most lard asses walking around, so of course people will feel targeted and offended. But I don't care, I am speaking the truth. If you are size larger as an adult due to your own doing.....whatever, I have no problem with that. It is your body and your life.
What comes to mind is that 13 year old girl in the news lately, Jahi. She is 13 and looks like a sumo wrestler. Why? The reason she went in for surgery was to remove her tonsils because she had sleep apnea, a condition she developed due to her weight I suspect. Then there were complications....no shit.....she was unhealthy to start off with and now the parents are freaking out and putting on a big dramatic show. Of course it is really horrible to lose your child to what seems to be routine surgery, although it is always a risk to go under anesthesia, especially if you are obese I can imagine. Now the parents will sue, probably win and then they can live off the millions they will collect from the death of their child for the rest of their lives. And feast on McDonald's and KFC. Only in America! Somebody should had looked into the parenting this girl was subjected to. I'm sure the Mom loved her girl but what is up with weighing that much at 13? How is that not wrong and cruel?
From the mouth of Jahi's Mom, "To watch my daughter just sit there and not have food ... I'm just so happy that she is kind of a thick girl so she still looks good," Nailah Winkfield told ABC’s "Good Morning America." "I tell her every day, 'Jahi, you losin' weight girl, but you still look good.'
WHAT THE FUCK? LOL.....KIND OF a thick girl.....STILL looks GOOD??!! I hope the girl wakes up, sometimes miracles happen....and gets put with a foster family that can feed her good and nutritious food. But this is about her WEIGHT, that it the REAL issue. Yes, I think it should be freakin' illegal to feed your kids such an unhealthy diet so they become obese and develop all kinds of health problems that the rest of the country has to pay for when they can't work later on and sit at home and collect welfare.
Yeah......that is all from my brilliant mind today. Got to go!

So yes, I did actually go out on New Years. I met up with my lovely and fun friends at a local bar called Moosequitoes for a New Years celebration. There are no clubs around here, only a handful of bars. I have to wait to go clubbing until I leave the state of Alaska, even Anchorage doesn't have a decent club. A decent club to me would be like Pacha in NYC or Avalon in Los Angeles or something similar. Outside of the US it would be Fabric in London or Berghain in Berlin. But now I'm getting clubbing and HOUSE music withdrawals so I need to stop thinking about all the fun places out there.....or I'm going to get slightly depressed. When I got to Moosequitoes I started my night off right with and extra large glass of ice cold soda water. CHEERS!

Then we took some pics and chatted. That is my friend Sharon in the middle (or Sharonski as I call her) and Marlene.

Nancy and Sharon - love them both.

My friend Jim was there too. He makes beautiful jewelry and hair bones out of antlers and ivory.

It's good that Jim was there, he had to act like a buffer against all the amorous admirers that kept coming up. I mean come on! Leave a girl alone for 10 minutes! I was completely covered up and minding my own business. When I'm out I don't try to get guys attention by licking my lips and pushing out my boobs and stuff like that, I want to be left alone. And after so many compliments it becomes somewhat uncomfortable.....what do you say after a while? Some guy was asking Sharon to tell me good stuff about him. I said that I didn't want to hear it and told her to tell him and the rest of them that I am not interested unless the guy has a fat wallet, a small penis and doesn't expect sex more than once a month. Fill out an online application and my secretary will get back to you with an answer. No but seriously, I am still unattainable and unavailable......I will only grant two exceptions, same as last year. Rihanna and Vladimir Putin. The rest? Fill out an online application. Then Sharon said that I should start charging everybody $$$ that comes up and either wants me to smile or give them a hug. I should! Sharon is now my manager. Here we are writing up the business contract.

There was the usual countdown to Midnight and lots of noise making. And hugs. Marlene was my New Years peck on the lips.

I had a fun night and I'm glad that I went out, I never go out around here otherwise. If I'm going to to "out" here I mind as well go to work, that's how I look at it. And at around 2 am I started to get tired and went home. To my Chhaya.

The missing bra and shoe and the extra money in my purse? I was just kidding, heeelloooooo, look at this innocent face.....I don't get in trouble like that!

So it's January 2nd 2014 now......I was eating nuts and drinking water yesterday, honoring my Resolution. And I think that I am going to head for the gym now. Happy Thursday everybody! And I hope that the New Year is starting out right for you! And Thank You to my friends for a fun New Years Eve! ❤
