so high tea? ROCKS!! everyone go out and have high tea right now. i’ve discovered i like tea. good tea. with milk. i’d never had tea with milk. well, except for oregon chai. which is pretty damn good stuff. in of itself. but i had a chai tea brewed loose, with milk. and wee bit of sugar. so good. i had lots of it. lots and lots and lots. pots and pots. and little chicken salad sandwiches with no crusts. and tiny lemon tarts. and chocolate cake. and scones. and sorbet. and shortbread. and fresh fruit. so much little food. and soooo much lovely caffeine. delightful. i even had my own little bowl of real whipped cream. and butter. we decided that the ladies’ high tea club is going to have to meet quarterly. on bonus paycheck day. should we warrant our bonuses that quarter.
this weekend is northwest bookfest and fee and ellie… you will be jealous. big scrabble to-do. you get to challenge a seattle scrabble club champion… or something. whoo-eeee… scrabble. anyway, i might try to hit it on saturday.
we had a big storm last night, wind and rain. lots of flooding and fallen trees guess a lot people lost power, but i did not. and one guy died, stepping on a downed power line. he thought it was a flare and asked his friend to stop the van, he got out to stomp on it, put it out, and died instantly. probably not a bad way to die, except that it’s very sad he died in the first place. his poor friend must have freaked.
that’s all i have today. i’ve got a huge headache. i’d really like someone to cut off my head please. i was hoping lots and lots of caffeine would help. sadly, no. but it did give me the jitters. which is fun.
