PMS & Tea

A couple of days ago I had BAD PMS.....I was out doing errands, looking for something at Joann Fabrics and Crafts, they did not have what I needed and directed me to another store. When I got in my car I started crying, I had a bad feeling inside my body, mainly chest area all day. It's like an unrest, a crazy feeling. Edgy. So before driving to the next store I headed straight for Shari's, barged in there and ordered two slices of pie and a side of whipped cream that I scarfed down in my car.
Immediate relief. It's good that I don't feel like this all the time, I would need to be on some sort of a medication if I did.....I felt borderline psychotic the other day. And today I am back to normal.



If there is a rhubarb option I will always pick that.....they had strawberry rhubarb and the other one is lemon something.
Yesterday I had tea at Tea Buzz.....I love that place. I picked a black tea as always and opted for a traditional cup and saucer. I like traditional when it comes to tea. So my cup and saucer are from England and the other cup and saucer from Japan - perfect picks by Joanna (owner and hostess of Tea Buzz - she is the best hostess ever).
I will go back soon to experience an East Frisian tea ceremony, it's a tea from northern Germany. I am looking forward to it already.



Yummy and cute. I was sharing my tea time with somebody.

Thinking About You

Sometimes life is very difficult and sad. This is what scares me about living.....because I don't think that I have the strength to deal with certain sadnesses, I think I might break to never recover.
A dear friend of mine is going trough something difficult. Today I am thinking about you A. And I am sorry and sad for you, no words will help and I don't know what to say anyways.....besides that I am here for you.
When I was going through something difficult in my life a while back this friend was there for me and I appreciate that very much.

Super Bowl Sunday

Super Bowl Sunday is here and the big game is over.
I am definitely not an American football fanatic, I did watch the game but to me it does not matter who wins. I don't have a favorite team or a favorite player. I barely know anything about the sport. Somebody will win, somebody will lose, they all get paid very well and it's only football after all.
I can say this much since there has been much debate whether to stand or kneel/sit (or whatever some of the football players do to show a form of protest) during the National Anthem. My opinion? Stand. Absolutely. And sing. Did you watch the game today? If so, did you see the medal of honor recipients that were being honored before the coin toss? One of those older men had a walker. If he can stand, so can all the players. They are being very well compensated for their efforts in the game. They should all be very grateful. If they have anything they want to change in the community, anything they want to protest, they can do a lot of difference with some of that coin they rake in each year. Be a role model. Do positive things. Be kind. Everybody can do something.

We Snort Glitter

What drugs do dancers do? Glitter. We snort glitter in the dressing room.....what else? DUH!





How do you like my dancer drugs pic creation? I threw it together this evening. All by myself. So the image credits are mine (even the idea I think). Thanks.

Another Visit

Yesterday I went back to Sisters for another visit to Hop In The Spa. But first breakfast, I tried Golden Milk for the first time. The ingredients - turmeric, black pepper, cardamom, vanilla with essence of rose and orange blossom. The taste? OK a bit different from my usual vanilla latte....I feel this concoction is beneficial for your health.



Then we drove to Sisters.





The visit was a disappointment. I have been to Hop In The Spa before, with Desi and we both liked our soak in the hops. This time the water was lukewarm instead of hot. It should be hot. The explanation for the lukewarm water was that the boilers had been replaced the day before and were not working right yet. OK? I would had rather been informed of this prior to my visit so I could had rescheduled for another time, after they had figured out the boiler situation. Soaking in lukewarm, bordering cool water (towards the end of the soak) is not what I had envisioned with this soak.
Afterwards the owner, knowing that the temperature of the water was below what should be acceptable, decided not to redeem the Groupon I had for yesterday's visit and asked me to come back another time and use the Groupon. It IS a nice experience when the water is the temperature it should be, the hops are very fragrant and nice to soak in. I guess I can go again.
As far as Groupon goes...this is the second time I have used Groupon, the first Groupon I used was when I went here with Desi. I signed up for Groupon basically to try this place out.
Afterwards I was in the mood for a latte before driving home. Tried Sisters Coffee Company. Check out the door handles, how neat!



Cheers!
