I can only drink "decaf" so I usually stick to some sort of herbal tea but have become way more addicted to coffee than tea lately; it could be due to taking care of the baby 10 hours a day! People my age are not supposed to be having babies around all day long...we're supposed to be writing our blogs, sitting on our butts, and taking naps. Oh well...hopefully it keeps me young!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046623774704584939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-39017909704296645562012-05-14T21:50:49.222-04:002012-05-14T21:50:49.222-04:00Just finished Dorian G.

Last year, I once again embraced my beloved coffee, only to have the same problems return. I drink it occasionally, but for now it's tea. Sigh. Tea is tea. It's certainly not coffee.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-23367793812473367952012-05-10T19:17:49.758-04:002012-05-10T19:17:49.758-04:00Ahh, PG Tips, I remember them well.
