A Huge Thank You to Senator Lisa
Murkowski for Voting to Overturn the disgusting ban on Gays in the
Military. She has once again proven herself to be the best! I am so proud to have voted for and donated to this amazing woman.
She is a true class act, and always puts Alaska first.
Now, a little diatribe against Lisa's Rival for the Senate, You may not want to let your children read this;
Mr Joe Miller, Grow up already and Admit you lost you worthless piece of SHIT! All your hopeless whining and wrangling in the courts is doing is costing Alaska Tax Dollars. Even if all the
miss-spelled ballots are tossed out Lisa STILL trounced you. You are a pathetic sore loser, give it up and crawl back under your rock.
AND FOR GOD'S SAKE SHAVE YOUR
FUC%
ING FACE ALREADY! You do not look like a cool hardworking Alaskan, You look like a Hobo that just took a whore's shower and put on some clothes he was given by the Salvation Army. You Lost. Be a man and deal with it.
Idiot!
Now, On to my week. It was not good. I ended up having to go to the clinic and have two IV bags of Saline put in my for Dehydration and anemia. (Short story, My Ulcerative Colitis had a major flare and I lost allot of blood.) Anyway that meant that on Tuesday I spent all morning at the clinic and pretty much collapsed in bed for the rest of the week besides an hour each day at work in the AM. So I missed out on everything. Not even close to 100%, maybe 30% right now but I just had to get back to work. Thankfully, besides the Christmas Parties the hotel is really dead right now so I am able to get out early every day and rest. Taking vitamins and eating allot of Iron rich foods to build back up the blood but it's going to be a while before I feel like myself. So, I really hope you all had a better week than I did.
Now, lets get on with the blog:
The Apple Cranberry Stuffed French Toast was really good,
and so was the Turkey.
And Kayla and Kyle are making lots of Rich's Pumpkin Pie Waffles for the Brunch Crowd. (They were nummy!)
And the Kiwi Lime Mango Cheesecake was tasty as well.
The Breakfast Club.
Still not alot of snow out there. I am really praying for a White Christmas!
But Look who made it back to town! Derick and Alicia home from their first semester at College!
And Pattykins too! They attended the Lion's Club Christmas Brunch today.

So, We had a White Christmas this year! And it Pretty much has not stopped since then.
For the most part the winds have kept the snow from laying around too thickly, Sweeping most of it into the bay and the Ocean.
Well that is until Today, where the Wind is calm and the snow just keeps on coming. At least an inch since I came in a 7am, with no signs of ending. In fact we are supposed to be getting another storm here this week. The Forecast says it is supposed to get warmer and turn to rain, melt most of this away and then turn back to snow, but right now I am really doubting that. Oh well, More snow means more Salmon berries in the summer!! So that's a good thing.
So, On Christmas Day the Hospitality Employees have a party, just for us. Most of the other times, Even for the Unisea Party, the Hospitality employees are working so this is pretty much the only day available.
Lots of food is made, along with some homemade treats by the employees. I did up two chocolate cakes and 2 Pineapple upside down cakes.
The General Manager Tom Enlow worked the Bar along with Lisa. the Food And Beverage Manager.
Darrel provided some music,
And I announced the Present exchange.
Just a few of my Housekeepers
Anna, From Laundry and First Floor Rooms
Genet and Tigist, 3ed Floor Rooms
Carmelita (Unisea Inn), Vitalina and Lydia Second Floor, and Mel from Front Desk.
Anna Again and Her Hubby Mike a Public Attendant/Driver
Ron from the Unisea Grill and his Wife Claudine Second Floor.
And Kassim, Harbor View Bar Manager and his family.
A Great time was had by all. It is always Great not to have to worry about customers for one night.
