Nichelle Nichols

Well yesterday Chewie was not content by the open door, no, he walked in front of me and began dancing, yes dancing. I said what do you want, you have food, water, an open door, he danced on, like a maniac. Without the chair and water, so I get up and follow him, he wanted me to walk outside with him and watch him. So watch him I did.
I am totally rocking a thin mint hangover today. I ate too many of them, one whole sleeve! I am so embarrassed by my gluttony! Good thing it is not March yet! Thin mints would totally ruin my goal of skinniness. But I so cannot indulge like that again; I did not like the hangover feeling this morning. That happens when I eat too much sugar. So this morning it is coffee and well coffee. Coffee with heavy whipping cream (no carbs) and one sweet-n-low. Yummy!
I am leaving work two hours early today, I get Tessa today! Woohoo! That makes me very happy, she is going to spend the night with me, we are going to have fun, and I have several new movies I think she is going to like very much.
I am very excited, I received my birthday discount from DSW and also my rewards certificate from them, I think new shoes are the order of the day. I can’t decide what I want; I guess I will see when I get there. Or I may wait until Linda gets to town, I am taking her boot shopping, she has not worn boots in years due to her living in Florida. This is going to be fun!
I have a fun filled weekend planned, Tessa, seeing friends like Geneva and Sylvia, going to Jess’ house seeing him and his sister and her husband. They are painting, and moving things. I will not be painting, no one panic, but I am an excellent box mover.
The Sci-Fi expo is in town this weekend; I think I will talk the Irishman into going on Sunday. I want to see Nichelle Nichols. She influenced my childhood so much; she made me believe women could do anything, even be a lieutenant on the bridge of a space ship. She was independent, sassy and totally rocked that Star Trek costume. I wanted to be her when I was younger. She broke barriers not only for women of color, but all women, at a time when women were regulated to secretary or nurse, she was a lieutenant. Gene Roddenberry was a visionary, not just of space travel, but of equal rights, of all kinds.
