There goes my paychecks, tea whore on the loose

[kikotei]

Oh dear god.... they opened a Teavana tea shop 20 minutes from my house. And I just spent way more money than I should have on an inhouse blend of Queen of Babylon (white) and Rose Garden (rooibos), and Japanese Wild Cherry (green).

And I want this contraption. Yes, seriously. I wanted the Zojirushi water dispenser before. Now I'm hot for this thing.

Mom joked when we got back that she lost me in there for an hour, though she made noises about getting me one of the little tea cups that comes with the infuser insert for either my birthday or christmas. ^_^ 

The clerks were all impressed with me. heheheheh! They were all happy  that I knew all the different teas and wanted to know if their sencha was similar to what I got in Japan. Now mom's teasing me that I should try to get a part time job there for Saturdays..... the idea has merit.

Ooooooh, Teavana... *bliss*

The most dangerous malls in ALL of Florida are International PLaza (Tampa), Florida Mall (Orlando) and Aventura (Ft. Lauderdale-ish) as they all have: LUSH, Teavana, and MAC stores.... *whimper*

I just bought a bag of Moroccan Mint from the Teavana in Orlando last week, and am pondering a bag of Silver Needle next time I'm there. But, I might wait for more tea buying until I can hit Red Blossom Tea Company in Chinatown, SF.

I was content

If the Danbury mall had LUSH I would be dead. Bad enough that they have New York & Company. At least the Victoria's Secret there has pretty bad customer service, bad thing is there is a good one right in town. I think I need to go back soon and get the little steep bags, my old tea ball is the suck... though I didn't see those at the store.

Mom was so funny about the whole thing. I looked up twice to see where she was and she had wandered off to check out other stores.

I was thinking about ordering from Red Blossom with a coworker to cut some of the shipping costs.

Apparently I can't type. Ignore that first, incomplete thing dangling there. >_

*hee* I've just had to make a cuppa tea after reading this post! The shop sounds wonderful, too bad they only seem to exist in the US... or maybe that's a good thing, as far as my wallet is concerned ;-) !

Tai! ::tackle::

It's addictive. I've been debating if I have time enough in my day to run back down and buy the empty filter bags.

But hey, if you want anything just for kicks or for a special occasion, let me know and I'll go buy you some.

*tackleglomps back* Hey, hun!

You are such a sweetheart to offer but I do have Whittards of Chelsea I can go to. It's a little bit too commercial for my tastes but it does the job ^_~!

::hughughug::

Did you start that new job yet?

I forget that you live in Tea-land. ::grins:: hmm, Whittards has some tasty looking teas.

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Did you start that new job yet?

Yes, the first day went well ^_^!

I forget that you live in Tea-land. ::grins::

Indeed, but despite that we don't really have that many dedicated tea selling shops :-( !

[kikotei.livejournal.com]

Yes, the first day went well ^_^!

Yay!! ::does a little victory dance::

we don't really have that many dedicated tea selling shops

That's a real shame. We don't have much here, but that's because I live in the boondocks. I usually have to hit the supermarkets and hope they have something tolerable.

BTW, icon love. ::pets Emba:: Have you seen the new extra chapter that came with the Japanese rerelease?

Have you seen the new extra chapter that came with the Japanese rerelease?

You mean more than the Gaiden chapter and the epilogue chapter? Do you know where I can find scanlations?

[kikotei.livejournal.com]

There were the original chapters with Emba/Yuuen and Salem/Yuni. Then there was the bonus Child Rock story with the nephew Nava. I just found a new bonus Child Rock chapter with an older Nava.

If you need it I'll upload a zip into that temp directory.

If you need it I'll upload a zip into that temp directory.

That would be fantastic, hun, thanks so much in advance ^___________^!

[kikotei.livejournal.com]

Up! I didn't zip it. It wasn't cooperating with me. There's a Wild Rock folder in that temp directory that has a folder with the original release in case you're missing anything, and then a folder with the new extra.

Enjoy the smooching!

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, hun! I can't download them tonight cos my internet connection is running pig slow *argh*! So I'll try again tomorrow ^_^!

[kikotei.livejournal.com]

No problem. I've got space to spare ^____^

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

I've got it now, thanks so much again, hun, you are a star ^_~!

[kikotei.livejournal.com]

Yay! Enjoy the sexy men. ^______^
