chargirlgeniusMmm. Tea
During my shopping exploits at Tysons this weekend, I spotted the Teavana store.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alienor has waxed poetic before about it, so, despite the iced coffee from Starbucks clutched in my hand, I wandered in.
I can see how it’s addicting. I left with two types of tea – Rose Marzipan Delight Black Tea, and Lavender Dreams Flavored White. Mmmm.
So, I brought them into work, measured out a little of the marzipan into my new tea strainer, set it in a beautiful crystal mug, and turned to the water cooler/heater.
No water. We’re all out of water.
NOOOOOOO!
Luckily, a coworker came prepared and give me a bottle, since I just couldn’t bring myself to use the unfiltered base water in that gorgeous tea. I haven’t decided if I’ll forego a second cup, or suck it up to try the Lavender.
alienor, if you would like to try either of them, I could bring you a few teaspoons of leaves and meet you somewhere in the parking lot.
In other random and unimportant news, I’m wearing pretty new shoes. They’re black and white polka dot kitten heel slides (These, but in polka dot). I feel like I should have pin-up girl clothes to go with them.
After my frustrating shopping trip for clothing, I realized why I like buying shoes so much.
They fit.
And if they don’t fit, I can go up or down a size. I’m not an 8.5 or 9 in all shoes, but chances are, I can just poke about for a different size or be ok. And while there are shoes that don’t look good on my wide feet, or just don’t feel right, I can still, for the most part, find something cute.
And that makes me happy.
And that’s why my new closet is going to have a big section just devoted to shoes. If we ever have to move, I think that closet will be what sells the house. (Paint is on and hardwood is installed. Yay!)
