But at least Teavana shouldn't take the full 8 hours of your DMV visit?
I'm making Jambalaya for dinner. Then BED. Damn I'm tired.
OH. I was at a sports store today... the Livestrong was all on super sale. Coincidence?
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Teavana is five minutes from my house. There's not point paying shipping or waiting for it to arrive. I've gotten to the point of idle chatter and only buying what I meant to, so I'm okay with that.

I'm seeing discussion that it's transphobic,
I don't get that at all.
I don't, either. But sometimes I think I'm an ass of a cis woman busily engaged in transplaining.

Kat,
I never want to experience the unpleasantness of Teavana again. No retail location will get me back.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There was a male teacher at our school sleeping with a female student, but I don't think anything ever happened to him at all. I think they never got provably caught.

I've found it reasonably easy in Teavana to control the topic of conversation. They want to talk, fine. It won't be about me buying tea, though, and they're sufficiently trained that none of them have been rude enough to cut me off or delay me to get their bit in past me yammering about the film I just saw or the hard time I had parking or other really heavy subjects.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In case anyone was wondering, this week's peaches became cobbler, and it is also fucking delicious.
I'm going to try eggplant dip tomorrow and see if it's sufficiently disguised.... In Turkey, I definitely had some that I liked, and I don't generally like eggplant.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't want to talk to them though. I just want to buy tea and get the fuck out. I also don't want to fight them multiple times about giving me the exact amount I requested. I don't want tins, I don't want teapots, I don't want any other teas besides the one I requested.
Period.
But this is why I belong at Costco and not in any mall.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Try roasting the eggplant and mixing it with feta, olive oil, and peppers. Nom.

Oh, good one -- I will totally add feta. Also yogurt.
