Chocolate caramel coffee in my cup.

It's a beautiful cold, windy, wet day out here.

I went through three cups of Tea Gschwender's Pu-erh Touchas this afternoon and two cups of Keemun this morning. Lots of water too.

Oh, swell... She's old... (but God PLEASE don't let her see this post!)

Late morning here, as I've been busy defending the Constitution over in the Crazy Thread. But I've got a mug of Keemun tea to fortify myself (I've got over a kilo of the stuff now, thanks to yesterday's buying spree!) and some rice crackers to nibble on. I ate so much yesterday I probably put back all the weight I lost. Or, as I'm praying for, it's all in my colon... Time will tell. I'm still wondering if I'm going to reach 80k in the next two weeks... Pretty nasty weather for hill climbing, and stair climbing really is just a bit boring... but I've got my fingers crossed! (For those of you who come from cultures that don't do this, it's a superstition we do for luck.)

Tonic and lemon. I should be wrapping presents instead of playing around here.

Cyclops · 12-19-2012, 05:34 AM

M&S instant coffee. Its good!

ProfCrash · 12-19-2012, 07:14 AM

Pu-Erh in my cup. I finished off the Camel's BReath Pu-Erh yesterday. I might need to put that on my re-order list. It was yummy and the name is simply awesome.

pdurrant · 12-19-2012, 07:24 AM

Sparkling Lemon and Lime with zero added sugar.

I have long known that I am lucky to live in the country I do, to have the family I do, to have had the oppertunities that I have had, and the life that this combination has afforded me. I am blessed to have a good job that affords me the ability to buy all that I honestly need and much of what I want. I am blessed to have a husband who I love with all my heart and who feels the same about me. I am blessed to have a healthy baby boy who is thriving and warms my heart with his smile even at 2 AM when he is hungry. I am blessed to have a couple of goofy dogs who drive me nuts sometimes but mainly make me laugh and smile. I am blessed to have a wonderful network of friends, even if I am not the best about getting together with folks. The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of years. It gives me time to reflect on where I am and where my family is. I only hope that 2013 is as great as 2012 was. I pray for a better year for those who I love, and those who I do not know, who have known pain and saddness and sorrow in 2012.

And with that, I now turn to tea. I finished off my Camel's Breath Pu-Erh last night. I am getting close to finishing a lot of teas. I'll be bringing home a bunch from work because my Dad likes tea and the way he makes it uses a ton of it. While this normally drives me nuts, I can remove my favorites and replace them with the Teavana stuff that is good but not my favorite. Hopefully by the time he leaves on the 30th, I will be in a position to re-order my favorites and happily settle into a better tea routine. ie One that allows me to go through my teas more quickly and not waste so much.

I think I will order one new tea to try with each reorder and if there is something I think I want to add to the regular rotation, figure out which one I am drinking less of an remove it.

I am thrilled that I am at a point in my life where I can give tea this much consideration. I am aware that it is an indication that I should get off my butt and find some group to volunteer with so that I can give other peoples needs more time and consideration then I give my tea collection. I think I will take that on as my New Years resolution.

And with that, I am off to make my third cup of Pu-Erh.
