It Hasta Be Shasta!

I’ve been enjoying a spoiled and indulgent weekend! Yesterday I got to spend the entire day shopping with a brand new girl-friend (and I mean that in the totally platonic way) in T-Dot. She took me to the most incredible Asian mall! I spent hours wandering through all of the interesting shops, while sipping pineapple bubble tea and talking about relationship stuff.

While out and about I treated myself to a sexy new Pupa eye shadow. There were a LOT of things I wanted to buy, LOL, mostly for my new house but I’m trying to stick with the ‘little at a time’ mentality. I did decide to take advantage of a great sale that was going on and picked up some really gorgeous handmade pottery pieces.

I’ve been on a real tea kick lately, mostly loose leaf black teas, so when I happened across this awesome little tea shop I selected about half a dozen varieties that smelled absolutely amazing. I’ve been tasting a few and yum, yum! So worth the money I spent on them (even the flowering teas, which are pricey, but such a treat). I think next to sex and books, tea is my very favorite thing in the world.

She and I went for sushi at this really trendy restaurant near the mall. I got a few excellent decorating ideas while I was there, with their artful use of chain and bold colors. The bento box I had was fab, although the service was slower than hell.

The market next to the mall was fascinating. Not my first trip to an Asian market (I shopped at one in Calgary as well) but since it’s Toronto, everything just seems…bigger. We sampled lychee and iced green tea. There was a really great price on live lobster and I was thoroughly tempted to buy a couple to take home. We still had a lot of things we wanted to see and do at that point and I didn’t really like the idea of the little critters hanging out in my vehicle all that time on a hot afternoon. Maybe next time though. I haven’t cooked lobster in a while and it’s one of my favorite foods.

My new friend is also pretty new to the GTA so I think she was as excited to hang out with me as I was with her. We met through a mutual friend and hit it off immediately. She does not know about my ‘double life’ at this point, and we may never get that close as pals, but regardless she’s fantastic and I know we’ll hang out again soon. I haven’t come up with a nickname for her yet, for future writings, but I am working on it.

The next couple of weeks are going to be hectic for me (normal life stuff), so I am hoping to get a couple of reviews cued up for posting. That way it’s not totally quiet around here. V is coming out for The Sex Show in about three weeks and I am so excited I can hardly stand it. The best part of having a busy couple of weeks is that the time will pass really quickly.

Speaking of The Sex Show, I am already debating what to wear this year. Last year it was my blue corset and a long black skirt. This year I am thinking shamefully short skirt and a dressy(ish) top. Maybe fishnets and stilettos as well.

The luscious Padme has a birthday coming up in a few weeks! I put her gift in the mail already, since I normally procrastinate terribly and this year I didn’t want it to be late. I also didn’t want to accidentally forget, which is totally possible considering how nuts things will be for me between now and then. I’m really hoping she will love her gift, since she’s a sweet and wonderful friend and I wanted to make it something special.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! If I am not posting anything of substance for a couple of weeks, bear with me. There will be LOTS to tell after my weekend with V, and a few hot reviews in the mean time!
