High Tea, Anyone?

it is decided. this will be my next gathering theme.

i love tea. i have a whole cabinet dedicated to different kinds of teas that i have collected. it is stupid how much tea i have, most people would find it completely unnecessary to have as much. i could be my own teavanna.

alright, maybe not that much, but still more than any other normal person would keep at any given time.

caffeine and i don't get along too well, and coffee smells good, but i don't think there is enough sugar in the world to make it taste any better, but that's just me. there are so many different teas, with different amounts of caffeine and whatnot. all the flavors....♥ it is all kinds of happy for me all over the place, and my heart doesn't even have to explode to achieve it.

on to this high tea thing...i was thinking last night about doing another little party so i can see my friends more than once a year. i've done a dessert party, a fall themed dessert party, and a mini party. i wanted to do something spring next, and was thinking "spring cleaning," eat something healthy to clean up after your holiday binge-eating. awesome idea, i know. i'm full of them. but then i thought tea parties can be light and mostly healthy, i have been meaning to do a real tea party at some point. spring is a great time for something like that!

i found this "Time for Tea" article/image on pinterest (of course), and that's what settled it. it's almost like mini party, take two, but fancy. that and my friend who wants to do a healthy party as well, pinned a recipe for crumpets. crumpets are english, english leads to tea, which leads to tea party! i don't know if there will be crumpets, but there will be scones, petit fours, finger sandwiches, and tea! ☺ (if someone wants to make crumpets, have at it! i've never had one.)

did anyone check out the link? afternoon tea and high tea are almost like meal substitutes, instead of dinner or lunch. it even tells you how to not get thrown out of tea time. how fun is that? i would say i want to throw someone out for not having proper tea etiquette, but i don't ever see anyone so that won't happen. i am completely improper. most likely my tea will be a mash up of both afternoon and evening, or something like that. i like sammiches.

i will probably do this in mid april, on a weekend. probably a sunday, as usual, since it seems to be the easiest time for anyone to visit me and not have to work.

i also will be switching apartments somewhere in march. super fun, i know. moving stuff in the snow, best day ever! (not really, but hopefully there won't be as much snow as there is now when it comes time. hell, it's raining today, maybe it will stay away. forever).

hopefully this new job will not only provide more pay, but more hours, unless the main one wants to give me more hours, because i get paid a lot more there. i should have money before i plan these things out, that always helps. where's the fun in that though, huh?

alright, well my cup of tea is cold, so i am going to heat that up, sort through some bottles and return them, and then go to work for the night. i am working doubles for the next three days (thur, fri and sat), hopefully during early next week i can get some packing and cleaning done to get things ready. if anyone wants to help, text me, message me, i would say just show up, but who knows if anyone will be here at any given time.
