Some of us spend a little time wallowing in the mud of a “mommy blog” entitled The Stir.

Well, the “Big Game” is over (don’t want to step on any copyrighting toes, do we?), one QB is on his way to DisneyWorld and the other to the bargaining table; the cup has been awarded, the Gatorade dumped, and people all over the country are nursing hangovers.

It’s funny, we live in the same town but never make the time to get together like we used to. It was nice to visit. I had a very yummy Chai Tea Latte. I came home and ... Comment - Like

Do you like tea? Do you drink it often? Do you drink it instead of coffee? My grandparents drank a lot of tea. They drank it with their meals and really did drink it more than coffee.
