It
has been a fabulous week! Two of my very favourite people are here for
the Star Trek convention. I adore Diana and Garrek, faire family and
fellow trekkies. I have not seen them in year and they are such a joy
to be with.

They
took me to this really, totally awesome restaurant called Swish Shabu
Shabu. It was a culinary adventure for me...truly a first. It is this
Japanese place where you cook your own food in little pans of boiling
water
right in front of you. You have two sauces, a plate of veggies and
tofu, some noodles and a bowl of rice. We had the the prime rib-eye and
a side of seafood. All sliced and cut into small bite sized pieces. You
put the food in the boiling water for a minute or two and then use the
sauces to add a little more flavor. If you add the onions and carrots and green onions first, it flavors the water like broth.

I
have to admit, I had my doubts when she told me about this place, but I
jumped right in, even down to only using chopsticks. (I made a mess but
had the time of my life!) I tried Plum wine for the first time and this
little itty bitty ice cream ball wrapped in some kind of dough, I
forget what it was called... moshi...I think... it was so tasty. I even
ate a piece salmon, a scallop, and a piece of halibut. (I do NOT do sea
food as a rule). Oh, and we had edamame as well, YUM!

I
have decided I am going to the convention on Saturday. My favorite
people will be there ...and a few of my favorite stars as well. *grins*
I have not been to a convention in about 3...maybe 4 years. I need to
go and have some FUN! Boy do I deserve it! *grins*

Love, Light, and Laughter,

On a whim, I started looking for a skirt I made about 20 years ago, I
didn't find it but I did come across some scrub tops I ordered before I
was married and were just this much too small, tee shirts I have
accrued over the years in 2x's and a couple of outfits that were too
small when I bought them(from a catalog)...



THEY ALL FIT! The scrub tops are now TOO big...I have a Hard rock tee
shirt that fits beautifully now...and a skirt and top that I bought
back in 1987 that was a size 24 and I couldn't fit into then...I can
get into now...It is doesn't fit quite right yet, but I could wear it
out and not be embarrassed.(It is a large 24) Holy crow! I was just
dumbfounded....there are a few other things I can get into and zip up
that are still a wee bit snug....but I could get them on and zipped!



I also found some material I forgot I had, I may have to make myself a
couple of new tops for the party over Labor day weekend.



This turned out to be a pretty good weekend after all....

Absolutely! Speaking  for myself...some of my very best friends have been and are men. There have been times in the past I was more comfortable with my men pals. I never understood people who dissed the idea.  *Shrugs*  Of course I was always considered the odd one in my family and circle of friends...*LOL*
