A treatise on tea, or, Is that the Nyquil writing?

So basically I"ve been home all day, just being sick, sick, sick. One of those my-bones-hurt kinds of sick, those my-head-will-surely-be-exploding-momentarily kinds of sick. And I'm drinking a lovely drink I'd like to share with you, our faithful audience of 1.5.

My old friend emmi (old in the friend from years ago, not friend of old age) recently posted about her love for coffee. (In a side note, I must comment on her name. It seems like I always have a few friends of the same name. When she and I were close, I was also close to another emily.* A few years later, it was Nancy. Nancy I used to work with in a restaurant, Nancy I was good friends with during graduate school, Nancy who was my supervisor at my first job. Right now, it's Jenny. I have two Library Friends named Jenny so if that is your name, please do not befriend me because it's quite confusing to my family. Thank you.)

Back to my I'm-sick-and-Emily-posted-about-coffee drivel. As some of you might know, I've gotten back on the wagon. No coffee for me. AND (this would be shocking information to my former colleagues Kim, Kim and Kim) very limited Diet Coke. I'm not pregnant, although that is when I first quit the black liquid gold. It just doesn't do me any favors. It took me 4 years to completely quit, even though it made me sick to my gut every. single. time. I. drank. it. I'm a weak, weak woman.

So I'm here to promote my latest favorite hot drink, Yogi Ginger Tea. You can get it at Trader Joe's (apologies to prrrof and other Mountain State readers) for a mere $2.99 a pack and it is delic. Just the thing when one s stuffy in one's head. (A shot of Nyquil added and you are good for the night.) The best part is (OK, maybe not the best part, but a really, really good part), it's the old-fashoined kind of tea that has a little message for you on each tea bag. Today mine was "Keep going." I like that. Short, sweet, to the point, just like me.

I would keep going, but that would completely destroy the short and sweet template I've obviously established in this blog. Sweet dreams.

* Since it seemed overly laborious to have a side note in a side note... go to Emily's most recent post and click on the etsy link and you will see quite possibly the cutest skirts I ever did see. And for a mere 18 clams! I'm not only fortunate enough to be her friend, I'm fortunate that she has good taste to direct me to sites like that.Just thought you might like to know.
