Folks DO know there are two Gothic Charm School-themed blends on Adagio, right?

Oooh, I did not! Time to shop.

I hop the pills work, Tep. Yay, broccoli!

Jilli, how prominent is the Summer Rose in your blend? I've got a sampler of it, and I find it's just a little too much rose for me. I like the thought of the rose and the chocolate together, though.

edited for the sense making

Jilli, I love adagio. Will check out the blends!

A friend made blends to go with her book last year... they weren't my favorite, but it was fun to try them.

I've done something odd to my back; I think some sort of standing desk is in my future because sitting causes so much ow right now. Worse than usual. This is related to deadline stress and other stress and spending a lot of time sitting all hunched around my laptop, I know.

I am finally caught up in the thread and sending congratulations to Sean, healing thoughts to Pix. Allyson's hair continues to be beautiful. Maria, love, you're not taking anything away from anyone by saying. All the hugs you want.

Steph, strength to your sinuses.

The chocolate and the cream balance it out. I find myself wishing it was a bit more rosy, but I like strong floral flavors.

Thanks! I'll put it on my wishlist for my next order. I just got a box last week, so I have to lay low on the site for a while.

I like black tea with sugar. That's it.

I want to start posting here more. I miss being an active member of a good online community (alas, poor Usenet...) Y'all are amazingly good people, and I've known that for years, and I have no good reasons why I kept lurking.

ita was featured in my dreams last night, which I don't remember except her presence. (Hi, ita! we miss you!) Perhaps triggered by all the lovely photos -- thanks for gathering those, Ginger. What a beauty--and less than 10% of that beauty is external...

Yesterday I Saturday'ed like a boss: slept in, made chocolate chip pancakes topped with strawberry jam, watched half of The Desolation of Smaug, rode my bike trainer, dinner + hanging out with friends.

Today, grading labs, whee. (I now have to do at least one more section's worth before I Internet again.)

Oh my gosh, the White Tea of Kings looks awesome.

Your blends aren't available on the Adagio Europe site, Jilli. I'd love to try them! I've been very into tea recently.

Nice. But if situated like in those photos, mine would always have cat hair in it.

So, my plantar fasciitis is indeed plantar fasciitis and not heel spurs.

Ouch. It takes time to make that pain go away, but at least it's doable.

Um, how is this student getting measurements of -1 mm?

Only two posts after I graded a section's worth of papers....either I broke the conversation like whoa, or y'all are watching the sportsball.
