Maybe I went a bit overboard...well, I like tea.

I went to the Celestial Seasoning's web site & ordered $45 of tea. That's 12 boxes, most 20 count, some 24 count & 2 40 count. That's a lot of tea. Well, it keeps well and now I don't have to go to the store and the prices, even including shipping, are well below Safeway.

I also bought stamps. For $1, USPS will ship me Malcom X stamps. I bought 40 Malcom X stamps.

Who needs Home Shopping Network when we have the Web!

The tea is for my housewarming party. I decided to do an afternoon tea-thing on the last Sunday in February. Last weekend, I found a 32 cup coffee/hot water maker so that will do nicely. It's likely going to be raining on my party so hot tea will be a good thing. And, with the 32 cup coffee maker, I don't need a stove! There has been small progress on the stove front. I received a large brochure from Thermador. And I think I figured out what I want the eventual kitchen layout to look like. That helps in figuring out what kind of stove to get. Well, getting the permanently-open-skylight replaced is my first priority. Maybe by the time Spring gets here I'll have the hole in the roof fixed.
