For those of you that do not know this about me, I am a huge Star Trek fan. When I was a young warthog (Lion King reference), I would NOT miss an episode, hanging on to every move made by my first love, Captain James T. Kirk. Week after week, he’d get beamed down to some planet, connect with a hot chick who’d inevitably meet some grisly end thus enabling him to repeat the whole thing the following week. My friend Tracy and I used to play the Star Trek game and I would be the girl with whom Captain Kirk fell in love. I was not nearly so keen on the interim seasons but my adoration has returned through the visage of Chris Pine, although this makes me a cougar as he’s young enough to be my son. Also, unfortunately, Steve won’t wear the Star Trek costume I got him for Xmas as after all, us girls just love a man in uniform!!?!?
So when my very kind next door neighbor buzz cut my hair as it was falling out all over the place, getting very annoying and itchy, I was mildly surprised and a little chuffed to find I have slightly pointy ears and could play a Vulcan on my very favorite TV show. In order to give you the full picture, see me below, taking on the part. I am sure you’ll believe me a shoo in for the next movie.
To test your Star Trek knowledge, here are a few brain teasers (I know you’ll know these Amanda L!). The first person to respond correctly gets an exclusive picture of me wearing the crocheted hat I got from the hospital that makes me look like a mutant, old maid daisy, but it does keep the bald noggin warm.
1). Who said live long and prosper?
2). Where did the crew boldly go?
3). What does the T stand for in Captain James T. Kirk?
On a separate note, I was stung by a bee yesterday! It was just a little sting on the back of my neck and has not swelled. I was nowhere near the compost heap so didn’t have the foresight to be wearing the necessary protection. I have decided to start a whole line of You Tube videos wearing my beekeeping outfit. I’ll have to give myself a catchy video name such as Ginger Hills, which is really my stripper name, determined by my first pet plus the name of the road I lived on. Anything more creative connected to bees would be gratefully accepted. How about ‘The Latest Buzz’? Or I could tie it all together by ‘Buzzing With Ginger Hills’!?? Oh dear, me thinks I should stop before I get in too deep.
If any of you need a good movie recommendation, try Galaxy Quest which is a total take off of Star Trek and Aliens with Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman. It’s very funny, in my estimation. Other than that, lurching towards chemo on Thursday.
Love to all,
Amanda

Love reading your posts! You are beautiful and an inspiration. I sent Kristen M a note with your good wishes. xoxoxo
You look beautiful! You can carry it. And to be honest I was not into Star Trek, I watched some of them but not a Trekkie. So I will not be your first responder with answers. 😦
Ok had to write! Love it. I too would watch Star Trek and yes I had a thing for Captain Kirk as well. Maybe you remember this episode of I believe there was a clone made of him they had him strapped to some machine where he was naked except for a metal strap across his privates, I remember every time the thing turned hoping to get a glimpse of his privates! Lol
If you remember the episode would love to see if it’s online fun nut the things that stay with us. I think you look smashing my dear:).
I am off all week with hubby but will have time for reiki with you so just give me possible mornings or afternoons you may want and I can see which work for me as well:)

You are indeed correct, congratulations. Also, knowing the PC improvement to #2 nets you extra brownie points. A bad picture of me is coming your way!
