Okay that fooled me for a couple seconds - but, in my defense, it IS pre-caffeine. (I need a sleepy emoticon).

Well, I gotta go scurry to get the house ready for a realtor.

In my cup - notta, yet :(

I was just thinking as I turned the page in my calendar "I hate today". I am way too gullible. Thank goodness I had this thought right before coming to TC. :P

Birthday tea today. Forgot my medicine this morning. Bleck. Also forgot to bring tea to work to help my sore throat. Double bleck.

Gee, I was all set to look forward to being able to try samples! Dang!

I guess I've been married to an economist and living in New York (home of Wall Street, you know) far too long. In my head, dreaming up schemes... hmmm... the negative comments on TeaChat a way to get the company price down for bidding! Poison pill! Hostile takeover! No wait, that was when the market was going sky high...

This morning I am drinking a gift grade organic Keemun... just about lives up to its name, not so sure about its price :-)

Chip, your announcement allows me to share some hitherto-unrevealed insider information.

Teavana bought out Starbucks just before Adagio bought out Teavana.

So now it's one-stop shopping for all your caffeine needs! I can hardly wait to try my first Silver Needle Soy Latte.

Yeah, y'all fooled me. But in my defense, I read this YESTERDAY. AAAAAAnd... I live in PacNW, companies get bought by other similar companies every single day, and Teavana has GOT to be hurting right now.


:lol:

Pipe dream.

I'm sad now.
