Tea for two

Hola, tea exchangers!

I hope everyone is enjoying their tea (or at least the prospect of their tea - I'm sure this is not the only place where it's too hot to boil water). It's almost August, so I'm going to send out tea exchange round 2 information late this week or early next. A few things:

1. If once was enough, just let me know, and I'll take your name off the list.

2. If you want to join in the fun, go fill out the poll (and put your email address in there somewhere if it's not on your info page, because I was an idiot and forgot to include a spot for that).

3. If you have not received your tea, please say something - I know there are a few people who are worried about whether their tea package has safely traversed the wilds of the postal system(s).

4. Does every two months work for people? It seems like it was enough time for everyone to get organized. Would you prefer more often? Less often? Or maybe you'd just like a poll.

[Poll #539873]

5. No, that's it.

Life or something like it

Album of the Day: Fighting and Onions, by the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir. I make no promises on the actual music, but I love the title.

Good:
1) Dinner with jeejeen and starfishchick last Thursday was fabulous. Jeejeen is awesome and funny (as if she could be anything else). She was also wearing a snazzy belt.

2) I finally got my Launchcast Plus to work, after a long phone conversation with Rogers, and now I am one of the cool kids. Not that I'm really doing anything with it, but I can skip to my heart's delight now.

3) I defrosted my freezer on Sunday and even washed the fridge while I was at it. It was an entirely painless process, except for the moment, while I was on the phone with vestra when the majority of the ice came off at once and flew across the kitchen floor, crashing loudly enough that I jumped and knocked my knee on the computer. That was painful.

4) Of course now I have a clean kitchen floor with very little work.

5) I bought MI-5 series 1 on dvd. It was used and cheap, I swear!

6) I am wearing an ugly brown dress with pineapples all over it. Yes, this is a good thing.

7) Oh, the year was 1778 (How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now). [Translation: I watched "Mountie on the Bounty" last night, which always makes me happy.]


Bad:
1) Our attempt at going for Persian food was thwarted once again, this time by the restaurant being closed for summer holidays.

2) I had other things here, but they've all ended or been fixed since I started writing this, so never mind.

I win! This is also a point in the good column. I'm not entirely...here these days (although I don't know where I am instead). There's a long weekend coming up, which is fabulous. I think I will hibernate (a decision made easier by the fact that pretty much everyone I know is escaping for the weekend) and pamper myself in ways that don't require spending money or eating junk food, and hopefully wake myself up a little.
