Skip the jo, have a chai

Well its been an awfully long time since I've blogged. Jon and I return last week from Europe visiting family and friends and things have just been crazy. Being on a sail boat in the Aegean Sea and faced with unreliable internet on the islands didn't exactly make my few attempts to blog easy. To make it up I'll do spotlight blogs talking about some of my favorite highlights from each island we sailed to. Photos will be included as soon as I organize through the 500+ on my SD card :).

The roughest adjustment to being back in Seattle is definitely the weather. Today, I ran a few errands around town, typed up some notes for a Junior League community service shift I worked, sterilized my bathroom for a bubble bath this evening (rest of the house will come tomorrow) and brushed up on some HTML stuff I hadn't used in a while. I finally sat down to relax about an hour ago and realized I've developed a nasty cough, my feet and fingers were freezing, and with the heat on it's still chilly in my apartment.

I thought about running down to Starbucks to grab an Americano but remembered how disappointed I was with my cappucino last week. There was no foam and I was very disappointed. Anyway I decided I'd have some tea and stumbled upon a hidden canister of  David Rio's Tiger Chai Tea mix. You have not had a good cup of chai tea until you've had this brand. I discovered this chai at the Metropolitan Market two years ago during a post-gyming session. I got a smoothie and my gym buddy got a David Rio's Tiger chai latte and gave me a sip. I've been buying canisters of the stuff ever since! I'm still working on the warming up part, but now my lips are slightly curved.
