Yikes! Fatal shark attack off Santa Barbara.

Two surfers, good friends since high school. Perfect set of waves. Shark came out and took off one guy's left leg completely and he bled out.

Ooh, vanilla tea. That used to be my favourite. I've been sticking mostly to green teas recently--green tea mango, when I can find it, and green tea peach if I can't, with green tea Constant Comment a sad third place. But back in my tea hording days (which was a few months ago, so it's not like that shit isn't still in cupboard, acquiring dust) life was more exciting. Life should have had vanilla tea.

No, no vanilla tea. Old standards--English Breakfast, Oolong, Green Tea, Earl Grey. Some flavoureds--lots of peach, some peach Ceylon. TONS of ginger tea variants. My father "cannot function" without it so we all try and have it everywhere. Some peppermint I just threw away, and something unlabelled that smells good that I might experiment with.

What I also want is cinammon (caffeine free) tea. The Jamaican stuff is nummy.

I really like the Tea of Life stuff, although I can't find their Scottish Afternoon anymore, which is sad-making.

Not a huge green tea drinker, but I do like some flavored blacks. Pomegranate is always good. Oh, and I have some white tea with blueberry that's delish.

I'm trying to decide if I want to purchase the treadmill my roommate is selling for tuition money, or if I'm just kidding myself that I'd actually use it to run.

A friend found a gingerbread spice tea recently that I'll look for next time I'm out and about. M loves anything gingerbread.

shrift, it probably depends on a lot of factors. Can you put it in your room? And if so, would you like exercising in your room? Does your place get overly hot? If it's not too expensive, you could buy it and then sell to someone else if it doesn't work out... Lots of people look for treadmills right around the end of December or beginning of the new year.

Never mind, she's already sold it. Makes the decision easy!

I guess I should buck up and use the treadmills at the gym, but since I'm just trying out this running thing after decades of insisting I hated it, I really don't want anyone watching me do it. It's a thing.

Burrell, my sistah! DH and I are having out first kid-free weekend together too - left Dylan with his grandparents so we could attend our ten-year college reunion. I stayed in bed reading this morning until NOON. Just heavenly.

So we were out garage saleing and a tornado warning was issued, SO, we are home now. Looks like the first wave has gone by us, but another is coming. Mac is slightly freaking out. I need to go pull in some stuff from the front yard.

gingerbread spice tea

Sounds nom. If you find it, let me know where.

I know I was lonely without CJ earlier this week, but now I got used to it pretty quick. He comes home tomorrow and I haven't gotten done all the things I had hoped to. So, to have a quiet day enjoying my freedom or should I be uber productive until game time?

I have closet shopped. Eaten lunch and maybe even breakfast, It's pretty phenomenal. Now, if only I could reassemble my bedroom in any sort of order.

I will start with cameras and other electronics. Then I will move onto the things unearthed during ransacking my closets. Then the lazy clothes that should have been put away all that time. And then laundry.

I must find an appropriate smooth soundtrack for this, and make sure I have sufficient hydration and lighting. Wish me well.
