Ok, so I can’t turn my blog black, but at least I can do this. END SOPA

And now I’m a lifelong customer…

Teavana.

From the website: As our name implies, Teavana’s goal is to be a heaven of tea and to offer our customers the healthy lifestyle and wonderful tastes of tea.

Oooh, Teavana.  Sure, I’d heard of them.  I’d look online at the different teas and gadgets and drool.  At the time I found them I wasn’t too sure about loose leaf tea.  Sure, I bought just about a million of those boxes of tea from the grocery store, just about any flavor you can think of.  Ooh, boy.  Was I wrong. You see, I don’t have a local Teavana store.  In fact, according to the website, there’s not a Teavana store in my whole STATE.  Boonies…I live there.

Anywhoo, after my last purchase from Teavana, I’m in love.

Besides all of the tea I purchased, I purchased myself one of these tumblers, in red.  After two days of use, it looked WRECKED.  I don’t know what happened to it, still.  It was hand washed with a sponge after each use, so it shouldn’t have looked like it was 4 years old already. I went to twitter to ask the Teavana person a question about it, and wouldn’t you know it? After just a few minutes, they fixed me up right as rain.  They didn’t yell at me, or accuse me of being rough with the tumbler, they just set everything straight – I had an answer in less than 12 hours. Awesome.

Stuff heard around my house..

“Why are you yelling?”

“And on dancer, and yancer, and daughter and Nixon..and you call, the most famousest reindeer of all….?” (repeat x24545)

Screaming,”10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 99, 100, 150..” Ad nauseam.

“Stop with the yelling, please?”

“Stop kicking the walls.”

“WHAT DID THEY FEED YOU EAT FOR LUNCH!?”

Okay, a couple of those were me..I bet you didn’t know that, did ya?

I think it’s just been one of those days.  Its been overcast for a week straight,  and Cinderella hasn’t been able to go outside both here at home and at school because of the weather, so she’s getting cabin fever.  Also, she’s turned into a SMART ASS.

I wonder where she got that from. *ahem* The funny thing is that she doesn’t really know she’s being a smart ass.  Just being honest with her answers.  (Doesn’t make it any better, but still..just thought I’d mention it.)

Ever since I started to notice it I’ve been trying to watch myself, and correct her whenever I can lately.  It just freaks me out just how much this kid picks up.   I know, I know…people say that all the time. “Little pitchers have big ears” and all of that.  You just don’t really know how to deal with that until you live through it.  Much like when said kid throws a tantrum in public for the first time and you look at her like,”Who the hell are you and what have you done with my normal calm kid?” Not that I’d know anything about that…*shifty eyes*

I think the moral of this post is, Cinderella is growing up and I’m freaking the hell out. *snicker*
