We tried the following today at Starbucks (description taken from their site): “Tazo Chai Black tea blend with exotic spices, steamed milk and honey. Taste the flavors of India in this steamed Tazo blend of rare black teas, milk, exotic spices and comforting vanilla.”
It was quite yummy, and with non-fat milk, the grande was only 230 calories, of which I only had a third, so it was a nice low-calorie treat. In fact, it ended up being our breakfast since we were on the go from 7 am until just a bit ago. Now we’re finally unwinding from a day of shopping. We also caught an afternoon showing of Taking Lives which I thought was good. Then we came home, did a ton of laundry, and I decorated for Spring/Easter (may not be religious, but I still like the decorations) and changed the dining room and bathroom theme to something more Spring-like (even though it no longer feels like Spring outside).
Here’s this week’s Sunday Brunch:
What Happens at the Equinox
The calendar says it’s officially spring. Where I live there is still about 18″ of snow on the ground. BUT … I’m optimistic that I can get into my spring rituals soon.
1. Do you get a spring break? Nope. It’s not fair either. Is it any wonder children are happier than most adults? They get two weeks off around Christmas, a week in Spring, and the whole summer. And what do us working stiffs get? An entire 10 work days off a year. Whoopie-dee-doo!
2. Some of us are pretty casual about spring cleaning. Others go to it with a lot of gusto. Which are you? Well, I think I do “spring cleaning” every month ’cause I love to reorganize.
3. Is planting flowers or a vegetable garden on the agenda? If you count planting flowers in pots. Can’t wait to have a house and real garden!
4. Do you suffer from allergies and do they get worse in the spring? Nope. I’m lucky, considering my mom is allergic to everything.
5. How will you celebrate Easter this year? We’re going to St. Louis Easter weekend (Friday and Saturday) so we’re just going to be relaxing on Easter. We’re not very religious, if you couldn’t tell. If we weren’t going away for the weekend, we might have dinner with family.
