So at Charlies (Good Time Charlies that is) there is a waitress, Theresa. She is SUPER funny! One evening Tatiana was sitting at a table, chatting, being her usual witty self, you know. The people at the table ordered a round of beverages and Theresa was the waitress. When she counted the money for the drinks she noticed that there was no tip for her and Theresa is a hustler and demands her tip. So she yelled loudly "What's wrong with this picture!!?", while holding up the money, waving it around.
Theresa is of Asian descent, Tatiana thinks Filipina. But this is not a quiet, demure Asian lady. She is loud and demanding. If she was YOUR wife, she would definitely be the boss and you would be scared of her. Also Theresa has an accent.
So when she yelled "What's wrong with this picture!!?" she did it with her (heavy) accent. The guys looked bewildered and forked up some more money.
Tatiana though that was REALLY funny. So now, when she is not happy with the amount of money laying around on stage, she stares at people and yells "What's wrong with this picture!!?". And if Theresa is close by she will join in and start yelling too. It's so funny!!
In the beginning, Tatiana did not like Theresa. And vice versa. She though Theresa was rude and loud. It took some time to get used to her and get to know her better but now Tatiana thinks that Theresa is really nice and soooo funny, always in a good mood. They totally get along now.
Lesson learned? The first, even second and sometimes third impression is not always right. Sometimes you have to give a person more time.
And Tatiana met people that seemed really nice and put together in the beginning, just to find out that they were total messes and assholes in the end.

YOU NEED a hat with Theresa on it!!! Or a t shirt.
Buy it here theresa

Not even 8 am and Tatiana is up feeling motivated and full of energy. GOOD MORNING to all my fans!!!
Back from a lovely stay in Homer. Looks like a pretty day outside.
The plan for today? Read. Eat. Call Mom. Out with Chhaya. Clean up a little around the house. Put a deep conditioning treatment in my hair. Probably work later.
There is a store in Homer called Blackbeary Bog, it's like the cutest store ever. Tatiana got a pair of brass mermaids, bookends. Super cute. And guess what? Tatiana haggled! Basically she said, "I'll get the mermaids if you sell them to me for $ 100 total." And it worked!
Read another book over the weekend, "How to Be an American Housewife" by Margaret Dilloway. Noooo, it's not a tutorial, lol, it's a novel. Really good.
Ok then........Tatiana is going to pour herself another cup of coffee. Talk to you later!

Tatiana noticed that the pics in her blog, when there are three or more pics, appear scrambled when she looked at her blog on a Sony Vaio computer. Of course that is not her intention. But when she looks at the blog on a MAC (Tatiana's laptop) or a Dell, the pics show up normal. Weird. Wonder why it's like that?

Last night Tatiana ended up watching like three episodes of "Toddlers & Tiaras", to sum it up with one word, DISTURBING.
That whole child/toddler/baby pageant thing should be outlawed. The kids don't learn anything useful besides a bunch of bullshit. They act like annoying whiny brats. And the parents act even worse. FREAKY.

Anyways. Tatiana is just taking a little rest before heading out again. Going to decide where dinner will be tonight. Last night it was at Fat Olives. Very yummy.

Tatiana is in Homer now. What a scenic beautiful drive there is between Kasilof and Homer. It's way more green and lush, more flowers and colors here in this area than in Kenai/Soldotna. This is beautiful Alaska. Big time WOW factor.
Tatiana is going to relax and eat really good food every day that she is here.
No smokey club, no loud drunks......instead fresh air, nice and quiet. Bliss.

Here is a pic of Alaska and the red dot is where Homer is.

When Chhaya is happy, Tatiana is happy!

The other day it was sunny but chilly.....it's Alaska after all and Tatiana gets cold easy.
So it was a cashmere kind of day, nice, soft and warm.
