g’mornin :Dhave you had your mornin cup’a tea yet?
i’m enjoying mine right now!
over the last couple years i’ve really learned to not just enjoy the taste of a plain green tea or teasan, but also to savor the moment and focus on “gathering” myself while sipping it.
in the last year i started keeping tea bags at my desk and anytime i felt stressed or ticked *lol* i’d just make a cup. it feels good to cradle my hands around the warm mug and smell the earthy flavors and just forget about everyone else for a few minutes! :)
okay okay, i know that all sounds cheesey, but hey, we’ve all got our ways to get thru the day, right? ;)
i guess the other great thing about these teas is that they are so good for you. okay before i go on, i do not claim to be a tea expert! BUT everyone knows that green teas are good for ya.
my fave tea happens to be a teasan (which i believe means it isn’t a true tea leaf, but probably from a bush or something) called organic red mellow bush rooibos (numi is my fave brand). it’s described as earthy vanilla. its color is a beautiful amber and it’s comparable to green tea in antioxidants, plus it’s naturally caffiene free. the other great thing is that it’s low in tannin (bitterness), so you can steep it forever and it will always taste great. it’s good iced, too!
okay anyhoo, enough about teas!!! i guess i’ve just found a lot of comfort in them, and since im a nerd, i like to blabble about things like that *hehe* =)
welp if you’re new to my blog, you’ll notice i havent written in a while. you’ll also notice there’s been an abrupt change in subject matter.
wellll first, i havent written in forever cause a lot has been goin on around here! hubby got a great new job, i quit mine, and we moved to a diff state! now i’m lucky enough to not have to work, so i have a whole new lifestyle to chat about, and lots of time to do it! :D
the change in subject matter came about because i found that over time my conversations would have become quite redundant. anyhoo, im the kinda person who likes to blab about random things—sometimes i’ll have a theme, and sometimes the theme is multiple themes. *LOL* ;P
so what are you up to today? first, im going to take hubby’s bicycle into a shop and get it all fixed up for him. its an old 30-speed, but when he bought it, it was top of the line and he loves it. so we’re gonna get it purrin like a kitten again for him so we can go on bike rides!
i’m also heading over to a discount carpet store to find some remnants. my uncle made us an AWESOME cat tree for the 4 furry critters! its just bare wood so i’d like to get it carpeted. im thinkin multi-colored remnants so it looks funky and fun!
then this afternoon i’ll probably do a little cleaning inside and a little garden planning. it’s definitely time to get the garden plot tilled and a fence around it to keep out the rabbits! :-O
alrighty, i’m outta here for now…i’m sure you’ll hear more from me soon!!
happy friday! :)
