Still Alive

While the weekend hasn't been nearly as eventful, it hasn't been great as I feel more under the weather than normal.

This morning I'm enjoying an amazing mug of tea that I bought from one of my two favorite tea shops from the Kansas City area, where I'm from (one of which is actually a homeopathic and natural remedies shop run by the kindest, most gentlest and loving soul that I've ever met. I love that she and I have the same birthday -- decades apart, though).

I included the business card of this particular shop in the photo for those that may be interested in high quality Chinese teas. They do sell online.

The monkey tea infuser was a Christmas present from Mother In Law, given to me while we were in Alabama over Thanksgiving.

I absolutely can't stand monkeys (she had no way of knowing, as very few people actually know this about me), but this little guy can stay. In fact, he does such a good job of making my tea, I'm starting to even find him cute.

He may be small, but he was a very thoughtful present. Mother In Law knows I'm a tea drinker because while visiting several years ago, she found my tea stash and was admiring the many amazing smells.

This cheeky little guy can be found on www.KIKKERLAND.com

Love you guys.
