i do love herbal tea.

it all started with some herbal tea.
it is hot people, really hot. and humid.
but i couldn't resist creating my own herbal tea at a local flea market.
so I bought some. it was not cheap.

a month later, I still hadn't tried it.

see...I couldn't find tea bags. anywhere. 

i schemed, my friend visiting schemed and we could not figure out a way for me to make tea without getting a bunch of floaties in it. 

floaties=bad, bad, BAD.

then, while thrifting i found this. .20 cents.

so i bought it. and washed it. twice.
still no tea.
see... i realized i didn't have a mug either.
and drinking tea from a regular glass is just a complete no-no in my mind.
so i gave up. really, I was not going to buy a mug just to drink my over-priced tea in the sweltering heat.
fast forward to today.
two months and a couple of weeks after buying said tea.
remember this quote? I love it.
back to today.
i was thrifting and found this mug with the same quote on it.

it was $3. too much for a used mug. right?
well i bought it.
i want to sip my tea in peace.
i am washing it. twice.
and then i am going to try that darn tea.
it better be good.
(good thing we keep the apartment frigid).

and i am going to read this.

6 books and 6,270 pages (yes, that is an average of over 1,000 pages per book) later
i am finally on the 7th and final book.
this book has only 819 pages but they made it double the size of the other books.
i am not daunted.
i am going to find out if claire and jamie fraser survive the revolutionary war.
no matter how many pages i have to read!
{as a side note, i've loved all these books so far.)

this book+herbal tea (please, o-please be yummy)=happy me.
