more teas, less weight! go you!

I’m really curious to hear all about the sheng olympics…I guess there is a thread somewhere, right?

I’ve tried a couple and wrote tasting notes. I don’t always do well with sheng – using this as a learning tool to see if I can decide if I actually like it or not…..

Totally trending in the wrong direction. Someone remind me that I’m not suppose to be buying tea. Number of teas isn’t as important as total weight – weight is suppose to be going DOWN….. sigh – don’t think I’m going to make either of Feb goals – especially if that other lost package order actually arrives….. sigh

(but August Uncommon was 50% off and I used Christmas gift cards for the Davids I got….. I’ve gotten a lot of tea without spending that much money… sigh )

I didn’t post anything this month – I had no tea come in. I did make my March goal so that’s a good thing.
I’m not getting excited about numbers trending down because I do have a Tealyra order on it’s way. I’m also very scared about what might happen in San Fransisco.
Not setting any goals for April – the hope is that I keep San Fran spending under control and that I don’t bring home any pu’erh.
Will wait until I get home and then evaluate the situation and see what needs to be done to regain control…..

Zennenn said

You should be very frightened of what can happen to your tea budget in SF. I had way too much fun. :D

Sil select said

wish i was crashing your vacation there!

Dexter said

Zennenn I’m really looking forward to exploring the city, but I need to find a balance between tea and tourist. Hoping to find fun places to drink tea (with snacks or lunch) and not so many shops to buy tea….

Sil you are more than welcome to crash….

Missed my numbers goal by 1 for this past month, BUT exceeded my weight goal but a bunch, so no complaints there since my focus is really on weight more than numbers at the end of the day. I know at some point terri, variaTEA, omgsrsly, dexter or someone else will ruin me so i’ll enjoy it while i can haha

That’s not as bad as I had feared. I also desperately needed fruit tisane – not much guilty when buying tea that I actually don’t have much of in my cupboard.
