Hey ya'll! :)
Today has been a pretty good day! A productive day. Well, I mean, I didn't do too much or get that much accomplished, but I was certainly on my way! The house is cleaner, I sent in another application to a casting call, took a nap, watched a little bit of t.v., but mostly took a nap, and it's been a calm day. Albeit the blown tire, although I wasn't in the car when this happened because Brian was driving, but this little piece of news still tried to put a damper in my day, but it didn't succeed! :) I'm glad that Brian is okay. Nothing major. Praise God.
Well, I guess lately, my own prayer for myself is that I become more practical, more grounded, stable, rational, whatever you wanna call it. Since working the front desk at Joel's Place, I've had many kids come up to me and just download their life on me, they tell me things, worries, fears, hurts, and things such as that. And I've noticed that lots of times their fears and worries or rationalities really are just that, irrational and not true! It's a mental state of being, and it's a harmful state of being to be living in when you cannot connect poing A to point B when your destination is point Z. It's a hard knock life. Or does it have to be? I mean, sure, yes, there are things that happen that are out of our control, and there's nothing we can do about it, but what we do have control over is our thought process. We have the amazing ability to sort through truths and lies, darkness from light, black from white, concrete from abstract, and stable ground from shaky ground. But the thing is that we actually have to take the time* (notice, I said time* which = effort), to actually sort through our thoughts, to separate the laundry in our head into the right colors that way when we throw it in, we don't accidentally throw in a pink thought into the laundry and have all of our sorted white thoughts result in ultra uber pink instead. Confusion, is the main cause of fears and worries, or the beginnings of them. Irrational thoughts lead to irrational fears, which intern lead to unrealistic expectations, maybe even no expectations, and ultimately to an irrational and irresponsible life. And usually when this happens, people are the victims of their own thoughts, their irrational, unhealthy thoughts. That's why I strongly believe that everybody has a voice, and everyone's voice must be heard by others. It's so important to have accountability, I cannot stress that enough, or just simply a listening ear, but if you seclude yourself, then your in for a whole lotta doo-dah. But anyway...I think it's important for kids to be heard, infact, for everybody to be heard, because sometimes, our thoughts can get the best of us (where do you suppose anxiety comes from? From the compiling fears through the thoughts that we bring on ourselves. Yes. Anxiety is self-made, which is sad to say. And yes, I've struggled with it. Not fun). But anyway...back to the point, everybody needs to be heard, whether that is by blog, by friends, by family, by counseling, by therapy, or by whatever healthy means. It's important for human beings to bounce ideas and thoughts off of each other, and that's where accountability comes in, if someone hears you say something wacky, they can let you know and they can subtly point out where you're wrong, or thinking unclear, or irrationally. It's important, because fears start with irrationalities, those stupid irrational thoughts. That's how people can go off-the-wall, simply bonkers, crazy, is when their irrational thoughts and dreams take over and become their self-made reality. And that, ladies and gents, is a scary place to live out of. It really is. But anyway...that is my dream, and my prayer for myself, is that my thoughts be clear, rational, black and white, and that I may have the discernment to know the difference between truth and lies, traps and freedom, darkness and light, and genuine things such as that. I guess wisdom would be the alternate word for all of this, to acquire common sense and wisdom. Have you ever heard of the quote that common sense ain't so common? Well, it's true, and I guess that one day I want others to say of me, "there goes a girl with some common sense in her." That's what I want to be said of me. And when I'm working at such a place such as Joel's Place, I want to be able to be that solid rock that the kids can rely on when they bring their irrational thoughts up to me, I want to be that person that can organize rational thoughts vs. irrational thoughts and be able to distil and ease others' fears. I want to be that rock solid foundation that they can lean on, humanly speaking to the best of my abilites. But ultimately, I have a solid rock, and he ain't human. (I bet that will make some of you wonder what the heck I'm talking about, but some of you will definitely know what I mean). ;)
Well guys,
I better get a goin'
It's late.
Love Your Fellow Chocolatier,
P.S., Can I say a little prayer for you (myself included)? I hope that your irrational thoughts and fears will be washed away, and that you will be able to begin this day or the next with a clean slate on your mind, one with the true reality, apart from your irrational reality. I pray that you recieve clarity of mind, clarity of thought, and that you have a great day ahead of you! That your thoughts will be able to connect from point A to point B, and ultimately along the way to point Z.
Goodnight childrens or good morning depending on where you are! :)

Dove Chocolate Challenge Day # 80" Smile - you ARE amazing!" Donna / Dunmore, PA
Hey ladies and gents!
Hope you've had an AMAZING day!
Today, I woke up around 11am (I could not get out of bed), and I got ready as quick as I could for call time for the play (I'm in "The Miracle Worker). And of course, I dragged Brian out of bed, it took me 15 minutes to get him up! That boy is a log and a half! Shout, pull, anything, he is just a log and when he finally woke up, I said, "Brian, we have to go!" and he replied, "where?" ...apparently all of the other times were just sleep talking conversations.
So, the day went by in pretty much this order;
Love you guys!
Your Sleepy Fellow Chocolatier
P.S., I was so tired yesterday that I took a nap (and I didn't blog). I asked Brian to wake me up in an hour so that I would blog but he said, "I know how you are when you wake up." And I replied, "no, I'll wake up because I know that I need to blog), and then off course, when he went to wake me up, I was sleepy, grouchy, and I fell back asleep in a twinkling of an eye. Needless to say, the blog didn't happen.
So there was my lesson learned, never take "naps" when I need to blog. Just blog, and then geddyon up to bed.
Well, night nigtht loves!

- Acted in "The Miracle Worker"
- Saw Emma and Steve @ Miracle Worker (Emma didn't recognize me at first cause I wore a brown wig).
- Stopped by Subway *Eat Fresh! :)
- Stopped by the gas station, bought cheap tickets to the movie theater
- Thought it would be a great idea to invite Mark to come along (we love him).
- Went back home, lounged around. Just chillaxed, watched the tube.
- Went to The Well (church)
- Ate awesome Thanksgiving leftovers (yummy yummy yummy there's a party in my tummy).
- Had a good conversation at The Well, lots of clarity.
- And the evening ended well with a movie night with Mark as we watched "Tangled." (Such a great family movie! I LOVE THE HORSE! (For those of you who've seen this movie, you'll totally understand why I said that). :)
- And so the day ended, and it was just a good day. An awesome day, an amazing day!

Dove Chocolate Challenge Day # 79 "Remember, mistakes make life interesting." Nancy / Burgoon, OH
Hey ya'll!!! :)
Happy Thanksgiving once again!
I'm not sure if I'm repeating a quote today because it sounds familiar, but I'm not so sure if I've used it before. Eh, it's getting to that stage where I can repeat quotes once again after 78 blog enterees. :) But let's hope I don't have to repeat too much. :)
Well! I had a great Thanksgiving! I spent it with my family and it was just amazing. We had a really chill time, just hung out with each other, ate, and simply enjoyed each other's presence. It was a very much enjoyed holiday and I have lots to be thankful for.
Oh, I know I didn't blog last night, I mean, c'mon guys! It was Thanksgiving! :) I figured that I lived far away from my family and that I don't get to see them much often, so the blog could wait until the next day. I just wanted to spend every moment I could get with my loved ones. I don't wanna miss a thing. Actually, I think that's a good rule of thumb, to have no blog days be okay on national holidays and family trips where there is no internet or time to blog. Other than that, I am tied, and I have-ta blog every single day. :)
But yes, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving day, and I just miss my family more and more now. I am so thankful for them. Each and every one of them.
Well, during Thanksgiving, I made a couple of mistakes, I showed up right before serving time and started making my famouse "Tzaziki" cucumber dipping sauce, and I basically worked on that thing half an hour into family meal time, everybody kept telling me to drop it and just come and eat, which eventually I did after I finished making it,. The lesson here is to prepare the food beforehand, say, the day before, not the minute of.
...And of course, there were other such similar lessons. Like showing up an hour late to another Thanksgiving party at mom's house, we thought we wouldn't miss much, but boy we sure did. We missed the family time. The eating around the table. I was pretty bummed about that. Sure there were left overs, but I don't really care too much about the left overs as much as I do about having missed out on family time. Bummer. You see, usually, mom's house and eatin' meals is notorious for starting late, but this time around, when we thought, "oh, they'll start late," they actually started on time, and we missed it! So the lesson there is to not make assumptions, but to call and find out and things such as that.
Well, but those mistakes sure did add some flavor to my day, but I definitely learned from them. And they made life a little interesting, maybe too chaotic for me.
Well guys,
I am going to sleep. Plain and simple.
Ta ta for now!
Sweet Dreams,
Love Your Fellow Chocolatier
P.S., Have you allowed room for any mistakes lately? :)

Dove Chocolate Challenge Day # 78 "Remember to exhale." Debbie / Pollock Pines, CA
Hey fellow blog readers! :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! (It's 1:13 A.M)., so even though I'm blogging for November 24th because my day hasn't ended, I'm gonna take the liberty to wish you this holiday's blessings! :) I hope you enjoy your time with your family (people who share your blood or who you would give your blood for). :)
I am ready for some gobble-gobble time. Turkey. Yum. And I'm thankful for my friends, my family, my husband, and for just life in general. Good stuff I tell ya. :)
Well, although I've had the last 3 days off, I can't wrap my head together to organize and clean, the house in all of it's glorious messiness is completely overwhelming me. So...I guess today's quote fits perfectly, "remember to exhale," and this is something that I need to do exactly right now! :)
Everything will be alright, and just need to remember to take it a little bit at a time, minute by minute, moment by moment, day by day, and I just need to exhale a little here and there. :)
Well ya'll
Have a terrific holiday!
I wish you many blessings and much peace!
-Your Festive Fellow Chocolatier
P.S., I now have my own computer on which I am blogging on right now! Yeah! My friend said I could have her broken computer, and my husband fixed it! Yeah! So be expecting the photo of the day to come back again soon! :)

Dove Chocolate Challenge Day # 77 "Someone is thinking of you right now." Lisa / Morristown, NJ
I hope so. I hope someone is thinking of me. :)
Hi guys,
I've had an okay day today, and a pretty crappy evening. Relationship issues. That's all I'm gonna say.
I am just super frustrated right now. I just want to beat someone up. lol. I'm just blowing some steam right now. So no worries.
Well, today was another no work, no school day due to the dangerous road conditions. I tell ya what, some people just don't know how to relax. They drive me nuts. My husband included. He's a type of guy that can't sit still, so you'd think he'd be happy for a day off, but nooo, not him. He's the antsy type. He's definitely not a homebody, but I definitely am. So we drive each other crazy when we're at home together. Ugh.
But that's marriage, right?
Well guys,
I really don't have much to say today other than I hope you've had a good day today, and I hope you don't bite at each others necks, whether that's you and your friends, you and your family, or you and your spouse and kids. Have patience with each other, after all, you've got quite a journey in life ahead of you. So have grace towards one another, (believe me, haha, it's not easy, but it's possible, so I'm learning!!!).
K guys,
And to all a good night.
Love Your Fellow Chocolatier
P.S., I am curious, how do you handle your relationship issues / annoyances? And what do you do to calm down?

Dove Chocolate Challenge Day # 76 "Don't covet; compliment and aspire." Victoria / Alexandria, VA
Hey guys!
Today has been quite an interesting day! I woke up to a text message from my boss saying that we should all stay home and take the day off because of the dangerous road conditions. Today, Fairbanks, Alaska woke up to an ice storm / freezing rain. It was extremely slick out today, or as my husband says, "slicker than frog snot on a frosted door knob." Now a friend of the family said that as he was driving to Fairbanks, (Delta and Fairbanks are 98 miles apart), he said he saw around 30 cars sitting in the ditch that have slid off the road, and on the way back, he said he stopped counting. And he also saw a school bus that was flipped over. Now that's dangerous. So yep, today everything was canceled. Play practice, school, and work were all canceled due to the dangerous road conditions. Crazy. It's still storming outside (raining in the middle of November in Alaska!!!), and the bad thing is that GVEA (Golden Valley Electric) has issued a warning that the electricity may even go out city wide if the power lines get too weighed down. That's no bueno because those who don't have other forms of heating, such as wood stoves will have a lot of trouble with the frightening cold. It's scary to be without heat in Alaska winters. :(
But anyway, today was just a leisurely day, a perfect day for catching up; did all of the laundry and washed all of the dishes, and even watched a little bit of 'The Nanny.' :) Today was a pretty chill day. I enjoyed it. So Brian and I took the liberty of walking in the freezing rain, outside is like an ice rink. At first I really didn't go, but my husband (I think) has a caffeine addiction, he drinks soda and rock stars ALL THE TIME, and he wouldn't listen to common sense that says, "don't go outside in crazy weather," and so he wanted to drive at first, and I wouldn't let him, no way jose, esepecially since we live top of a hill, and it's icy going down it. So, we walked to the gas station to get him a rock star. Yep. Crazy. But you know what, besides slipping the entire way down there, it was quite refreshing outside. The air just felt moist. It felt nice, not like the usual crisp and dry air we have here on a day to day basis, and it's also especially warm outside. But, I certainly did not enjoy slipping the entire way down, I can't image cars driving in this weather, and there were some that were even speeding! On our way back up we saw 3 car pile ups that weren't there just a minute ago. Again, crazy!
So we walked back home, chilled out at the house for about 1/2 an hour and then we went back out and walked down to the Sourdough Cafe, and it was delicious. Nothing like some soup and a grilled tea sandwich to top off the evening on an icy day. It was perfect. And to top it off, I had lemon tea, and it was delicious! So after dinner, we walked home and had for the most part a pretty good evening. And now I am ready to go to bed.
About today's quote, "don't cove, compliment and aspire." Well...I'm an actress, certainly aspiring, but I don't like to use that word. :) But I sometimes get envious of other actors' progress, sometimes looking at other people's resumes overwhelms me because I realize that I still have quite a bit to go. Amateur would be the word. But, when I really think about it, I am on my own journey, and my experience is exactly that, my own. My road to being a successful actress looks different than other roads taken by actors. I am uniquely me, and my expriences are uniquely my own, and they will unquiely get me to where I need to be. The goal is in not giving up and not losing sight of the goal. So, whenever I meet an actor that has more experience then me, my advice to myself is to ask for wisdom and advice from the actor, and to try to learn from their mistakes and successes. I want to be the gal that compliments and aspires. I want to wear that attitude. It's certainly more attractive. :) So don't covet, and aspire. What great advice. Just perfect.
So, today has been all in all a pretty good day and now I am looking forward to a pretty good night. Oh, and sorry for not blogging yesterday. That's a first for me. I had such a depressing and horrible evening yesterday that I just kind of gave up, I was very sad and extremely exhausted, so I plopped in bed and fell asleep and I didn't blog, I just had no energy to. But today has been a new day, and things have changed. And now I'm okay. :) No worries.
Well guys,
Have a blessed night!
Love Your Fellow Chocolatier <3
P.S., Brian pretty much inhaled my entire bag of caramel Dove Chocolates. Infact, there's none left, he ate them all. Remind me to buy the dark chocolates next time around (he doesn't like those that much, and they'll stick around longer). So now I have all of these wrappers with quotes, but no chocolates. Gotta love my husband. lol.

Dove Chocolate Challenge Day # 75 "Take chances and risks - they are worth it!" Robin / Mount Holly, VT
Why hello there!
I thought I wasn't going to be able to blog (I decided to just lay my head down for a very little, little while, and I ended up dozing off. So, if I wasn't woken up by husband (I am a light sleeper and if so much as a twig budges I wake up), I would have slept right through today's blog.
So...I have a dilemma...Yes, I do. I just realized that I've done it, I over booked myself. And this time it happens to be between my choir Christmas perforamance and my play! I thought I would be able to miss a dress rehersal, but I thought wrong. :( You see, this upcoming week is hell week for the play, which in the theater world means that you can't miss a day if your life depended on it because it's opening weekend. BUT, this week is also the ultimate rehersal time for choir, and If I don't make it, then I won't be able to sing at the Christmas concert...what to do, what to do? I don't want to be half-hearted at any one of them, but that's how it's turning out to be, if I can't be there 100% for one, I can't be there for the other. So now I have to chose, unless I call around and find a miracle by chance. Bummer. :(
I really don't like this kind of stuff...it makes me sad, and a bit anxious, (a bad kind of anxious), because I'm already so emotionally attached to both things and on both sides the people are like family. This really sucks. It just really does. Yep. So, we shall see what will go down in the next couple of days, I am currently weighing my options. And tomorrow (well later on today actually), I will have to make some phone calls.
Welcome to my lovely world of decisions. It seems to me that I'm learning a lesson here...and I'm not so sure that I'm liking it. No, actually not at all, but lesson is definitely learned. Ditto.
My brother told me a Russian phrase maybe about a month ago when I was talking about double majoring in music and film. He quoted, "If a hunter trys to hunt two rabbits at the same time (if you chase two things), that he will end up getting none." So basically, it's best to pursue just one thing and to get quite good at it, because if you chase two, you won't get either. Yeah. Sad, but true, as I'm learning anyhow.
Well guys, atleast I don't have to make any decisions from now until tomorrow afternoon, so I'm going to go take my sweet time and enjoy my one day off, and then, back to reality.
Love your Fellow, double-booked, Chocolatier
And Peace to you and good night.
Sweet dreams!
P.S., How ironic today's quote is! Take chances and risks, they are worth it!
I thought I wasn't going to be able to blog (I decided to just lay my head down for a very little, little while, and I ended up dozing off. So, if I wasn't woken up by husband (I am a light sleeper and if so much as a twig budges I wake up), I would have slept right through today's blog.
So...I have a dilemma...Yes, I do. I just realized that I've done it, I over booked myself. And this time it happens to be between my choir Christmas perforamance and my play! I thought I would be able to miss a dress rehersal, but I thought wrong. :( You see, this upcoming week is hell week for the play, which in the theater world means that you can't miss a day if your life depended on it because it's opening weekend. BUT, this week is also the ultimate rehersal time for choir, and If I don't make it, then I won't be able to sing at the Christmas concert...what to do, what to do? I don't want to be half-hearted at any one of them, but that's how it's turning out to be, if I can't be there 100% for one, I can't be there for the other. So now I have to chose, unless I call around and find a miracle by chance. Bummer. :(
