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! ❤

Hello 2014! I went to Kaladi to start the year off right. All the proceeds from today's sales at Kaladi will go to local charities, here in Soldotna the money goes to the local food bank, this year especially for the children on their birthday. Sweet!



I actually set my alarm for 9 am this morning, planning on getting up early to catch the first sunrise of 2014 at the beach and take some pics. Ummmmm......no. I swatted at the alarm and continued sleeping until noon, Chhaya and I like to sleep in, we know what's good in life.
I did make it down to beach beach this afternoon, it was gray and raining, it's warm out today. A stranger wandering by himself at the beach wished me a Happy New Year, how nice! I told him to shut the fuck up, growled and showed him my fangs. I mean what would you have done? Right? LOL. No, of course I told him Happy New Years back.....and thought how nice it was of him to say that. It's getting dark out, I think me and Chhaya are going to take a walk.
I am tired already and want to curl up in bed.
I was hoping to visit the gym today but it was closed. Later on, unless I fall asleep, I have to tell you about last night. I don't remember how I made it home around 5 am this morning, one shoe and my bra missing and $ 680 extra in my purse, no clue to how this happened.
It must had been a fun night!

This is one of my fave pics of me from this last year....not only do I absolutely love this pic, I was at Burning Man when I took it.....having the time of my life. Photographer Michael Helms.

Only a few hours left of 2013......it has been grey, cold and windy outside today. I just finished eating a great meal, Chhaya too, we are both stuffed and I could probably be like a Grandma and cuddle up under my electric blanket (I looooove that thing) and go to sleep, only to wake up to 2014. It sure sounds tempting! And I might just do that......or? I could listen to Coast To Coast, always interesting on New Years. I heard somebody talk about the huge anticipation that comes with celebrating New Years. The party you should be at, the fun everybody hopes that they will have and a lot of times it turns out that it is the most overrated night of the year. I have celebrated a few really boring New Years Eve's (BLEH) and even twice I HAD to work, I was scheduled.....YUCK. I never want to work on New Years Eve, I'd much rather be home listening to the radio than work. But I also had some super fun and amazing New Years Eve's, topping the list is Together As One in Los Angeles. FUN is only a scrape on the surface to describe it. Tonight I'm in Kenai, comparing Kenai to Los Angeles or any of the local bars around here to a rave at the Sports Arena in LA is.....well, you just can't compare. So it is what it is. If I could be anywhere partying tonight I would like to be at Berghain in Berlin, getting down to Joel Mull, he plays my kind of music and Berghain is definitely my kind of place. High up on my to do list. It would also be really cool to celebrate New Years at a place like Machu Picchu or while participating in an Ayahuasca ceremony deep in a jungle somewhere. Or while immersed in a hot spring in Iceland or sitting on a blanket at the foot of Uluru (aka Ayers Rock) in Australia. On the to do list as well. Do you have any New Years Resolutions? I'm going to quit drinking and smoking, both cigarettes and crack. I heard it's bad for your health and I'm going to try to live healthier next year. Actually.....I don't have any Resolutions. Well, I am thinking that I should try to drink more water and eat more nuts. Yep, that is what I'm going to try to do. I had to dig up a pic of me at Together As One a few years ago......

* HAPPY NEW YEAR * to all of you! I'm wishing you much happiness and all the best. XOXO

Today I did some personal maintenance stuff. Got a haircut, less than two inches, no plans on chopping my hair off as of yet. Had a pedicure, it was surprisingly good. No color, I haven't had polish for almost two months now, I am letting my toenails breathe. Then I came home and took care of some stuff at home, entertained the thought of going to work. Then I got pretty bad stomach cramps again, so I took I Midol for the second day in a row now. No work, I'm in bed, waiting for the Midol to kick in. My bedding is freshly laundered, I feel sleepy.
And in the mood for some chewy caramel and chocolate.....but I ate it all. Thinking about how great it is that I can take a Midol and expect to feel better. That I am very grateful for. I don't know what I would do if I had a "regular" job and had to go in on a day with bad cramps.
How do people do it? Do they excuse themselves and curl up in a ball while concentrating on breathing in and out (like I do)? Maybe one day I will know. This is all I can muster up with right now. Goodnight!

I just got done with a body scrub. Simple to make at home. Ground coffee, sugar and olive oil is what I used. Mix together, put on some scrubbing gloves and scrub away. Great for the skin. I scrubbed so vigorously that my skin got slightly red for a bit.





Now I'm in bed, it's 4 am and I should sleep. I am addicted to Breaking Bad . I started watching the series the other day and I have probably spent seven hours or so the last couple of evenings worrying about Walter and Jesse. How can you not like Walter? And how many people are just even so slightly tempted to try and cook up their own amazing batch of crystal and rake in the cash? So far I like Walter, he has cojones. Well, maybe I should take out my contacts and go to sleep.
