I too had a night full of wacky dreams. In one I went back to the cabin my parents sold last summer and the new owner let me come in. It was full of all sorts of MY stuff. I couldn't believe my parents didn't take the things out before they sold it. Then there was this vegetable garden in the side yard that I had supposedly planted and I was obsessed with getting my things and harvesting all the veggies into Ziploc bags and getting them to my car before they new owners noticed. Think I'm suddenly feeling a little bit of loss over the sale?

BUT, I can't complain because hubby got up with the kids this morning and I slept until 10:30!!! I'm still in shock. But, boy, did it feel good. I don't think I've slept that long since the kids were born.

Mint masala chai today. It was fantastic. I made a really big batch too so I can have some iced tomorrow. Finished the day with black raspberry ice cream from the farm in town. Great weekend.

Wow, not only are your photos primo, but your dream life is rivaled only by Auggy's waking life for entertainment value.
Hey, Geekgirl has dreams about Hawaiin shirts, something my life is sadly lacking in any abundance. So I think she wins. :wink: Besides, very boring day for me. Church, picked up a few things at the store, then scrapbooked and watched about 7 episodes of Lost, season 1, all while sipping on cold brewed green tea. Which was really good! At least I finally got some tea in. Yesterday was sadly tea-free.

As for dreams, I rarely remember mine, but when I do, they are odd and lately, nightmares (which is rare for me). Last week's murderer disposing of the frozen body thing and a few days before that there were giant centipedes dripping from walls, coming to attack me. Uck.

Oh, almost forgot - poll question. I could care less caffeine. Sometimes my morning black tea makes me jittery and sometimes green gets me a little when I have a lot in a short amount of time, but usually it doesn't influence my sleep since I don't have a fresh first steep after about 7pm. And I don't go to sleep until 2am or so. :oops:

Thanx for the info! :D It's on my "Teas To Try" list. Having gotten 3 shipments of tea last month & the oolong box coming soon, it may be a while before I place an order, though. May contact the company & see if I can get a sample.

Finished the evening w/cuppa Pouchong. Have I mentioned I really like this one?! :lol:

Mmm i love caffeine, it makes the world go round.

So far this morning, a sample of Good Morning tea from Lupicia. Yet another run to the lupicia store this weekend and quite a large haul. They finally got their shincha shipped over. So far from what I have tried it is quite amazing.
