Hi everyone. It's time once again time for T day over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog. I hope everyone had a lovely week since last week's T.
Last Tuesday (after I'd posted my T Day post) I received some fun mail from our lovely T Day hosts.
Thank you dear Elizabeth and Bleubeard. And I shouldn’t forget Squiggles either. too. The postcards are great, especially the saguaros in the Arizona card. Saguaros are some of my favorite trees, and definitely not anything we have in New Hampshire. Your ATC is lovely also. And grin, with the way time flies it won't be long until we'll be celebrating year 11 of T Day. But I'm NOT trying to rush time.
Last week I had a mix of quiet days and very busy days. It seemed like a week's worth of eventful days were squeezed into 2. 😏 We also had sun for several days, and even one day the temperature hit 56 degrees F (13 degrees C). It was fantastic to see blue skies and the sun for so many days. It was also especially nice to have a day when I didn't need to wear my winter jacket either. ❤
For T there is some light snow in my local forecast, but originally they were saying heavier snow so I hope the latest forecast is correct.
My drink this week for T is some new tea and a new mug.
I was at Costco last week, and they had jars of this jellied peach oolong tea. Everything is mixed together in the gel, and you just need to add a spoon or 2 to some hot water, stir until the gel dissolves, and you have your cup of tea. I've had lemon tea like this before, which gives you a delicious and intense lemon taste. And seeing I am ready for spring, the idea of peach tea sounded very tempting. It was so tempting I bought the jar, even though it is huge and I would have to drink peach tea every day for months (if not longer) to finish it. But it does make a nice cup of peach flavored tea, and I can also use it in the warm weather to make peach iced tea. ❤
And did you notice my new mug? Mr. DNA is from the original Jurassic Park movie, and since I'm into Biology, I love this movie series. I probably wouldn't have bought the mug on my trip to Universal Studios except we went on this killer roller coaster ride.
I don't mind roller coaster rides in general, but what I didn't know, is quite how INTENSE this ride was. Thankfully I didn't know before the ride, or I would have chickened out. This one was too much for me.
It hits speeds of 70 miles per hour (112 km/hr), has this intense drop you can see in the above photo, and you're only held in by a waist lock. There are no shoulder locks.
And you are upside down over open water and the boardwalk that leads into Harry Potter world too.
Oh boy. I was shaking when I got off of it, and luckily, it was the last day of our 3 day trip, because I was done with rides at that point.
I was so relieved when it was over and also so pleased with myself that I got through it, that I could have bought up the whole Jurassic Park store to celebrate. I settled for the mug to remember the event, which I will NEVER do again. 😏
So cheers to all of us who step outside of our comfort zones and go for it.
Have a happy T day and a great week ahead too. And for those of you who I don't see during the week. Happy Valentine's Day to you also.
