msmoon | There and Back Again: A Zen tale of Sushi Goodness (Reply)

Yesterday was really enjoyable. The four hours in which I was driving alone wasn’t perhaps as fun as usual, considering that I don’t have any of my CDs, so I can’t really listen to my music. I was alert though, when driving over to pick up Scamp and Bear, so it wasn’t so bad. And Scamp and I talked a lot to fill the drive back. When we got into town, we got right down to business. I just went ahead and ordered the good stuff we’d grown accustom to eating at Zen. 2 Cucumber wrap rolls, a Zen roll, a Saints roll, and the glorious Tempura roll. We all agreed that the Tempura roll was no longer really epic....it was legendary ^..^ We had asked why Zen didn't have a web site, and the waitress said that they did if you searched the full name I tried it, but it didn't work out; all I got was the yellow pages reference to Zen. Anyway...After we gobbled down our rolls, we ordered a thing of Green Tea ice creame...sure, it sounds unappetising, but it’s really good. They had it in a little margarita glass, drizzled with chocolate syrup, with blue berries and a sliced strawberry on the side. Was delish.

After we ate, we headed over to Books-A-Million.....which is like shoving drugs right into an addict’s face. I did buy a book, but I didn’t go overboard. Oh, and I didn’t buy any of he Twilight series....that’s something to be proud of. We swung by Dairy Queen, because Scamp wanted a moolate. Then, we went to the mall...looked about a bit, but really we just found a bench and plackayed ourselves down. I think we spent upwards of 4 hours sitting on that bench and talking. Sure, we could’ve gone to a movie, but movies really are something you do with people you know super well that you have tons of time to waste. Talking was great because we just got to be relaxed and hang out.

Around 4:50 we headed back to the car....and went back to Zen :D We each just had Tempura rolls for ourselves and once again....legendary. Then....the long ride back. The bad thing about sushi is that it satisfies me so much that I’m really ready for a nap afterwards. I definitely got the same feel from Scamp and Bear....mostly since Bear fell asleep in the back seat and Scamp was dozing and forgetting every five seconds of the conversation. What was funny was when Bear woke up and asked, “....are we in Abbeville?” Scamp and I laughed at that. He missed most of the journey and he was trying his hardest to stay awake.

Oddly enough, I was awake and alert the whole way back. Of course, once I got back, I was exhausted. Mom didn’t get in till 10:40ish, so I didn’t get to sleep till after 11. We’re currently staying at Grandmere’s, and I’ve claimed the couch as my bed. It’s very comfortable really, and I slept so hard. Then again, I’ve had the busiest last four or five days. Friday was rehearsal, Saturday was the wedding, Sunday was recovery and movies with Chibi and then yesterday.....I’m not a good traveller either. I just wish we could still have that hotel room...From Grandmere’s house, well, we intend to stay till Wednesday night. Then we’ll go over to my Aunt Carolyn’s for a while (3 or so days I guess) and then we’ll end up back at Aunt Batty’s. I can’t wait to get home -..-

I know that at some point Mom wants to go to Hobby Lobby with me. She also said she wants to take me to Zen again...but I think I should put that off till we’re almost ready to leave =..= Then again, I may ask if she just wants to go to IHop, because I know Zen isn’t her favourite place. But really, I don’t know what our plans our ...or if we even really have any. Today, I’d like to relax a bit...recover some from the insanity that has been these last few days. We have till the 7th though, till we have to think about leaving. So...hopefully that’s plenty of time.
