Not my cup of tea

It is my understanding that if you hook up couples, you get heaven points

With that in mind, I went skiing yesterday, with an organized meet up that I organized (not much too it, just post and event and people come). Because a 30 minutes phone call at 4 pm ended at 5:20, the need to scrape ice from the car, icy roads and traffic I arrived 15 minutes late to an event in which I am the host. I would have called someone but I left my cell phone at home(un typical of me, I usually forget it outside, not at home).

But this is a ski resort and people from these groups know each other in general, and they started skiing or snowboarding and I joined up later. My skiing level improves dramatically – I can almost control myself on a non too steep hill (I think I am getting ready for green which is the lowest level above the bunny hill). But I am digressing, where was I, oh yes, hot chocolate and pizza break after wards and a few more rounds on the slopes and the evening began.

After the event I get a message from some Justin dude, which I never met saying he did not find any one and was left to ski alone, I apologized and asked if he did have fun any way. And said he did and met a chick! And would not have met her if he would have joined the group. Basically, I was on time, I would have waited for everyone and Justin + chick would never meet. This is the butterfly effect.

1 late call and destiny begins. So do I get heaven points for this one?

p.s I don’t know the name of the chick, Justin never said, and I still don’t know who this guy is…

 

with all this heaven credit, I set myself up for a mission of importance. Making a good cup of tea. The story goes like this

this is what my bee requested

regular tea with lemon and honey – how difficult is that

the lemon has to be round piece

as for the honey (since last time, my honey bee overdosed from the amount I put in the cup) I had clear instructions of how much to put. Our honey is in a plastic jar with a squeeze tube- so the instructions came as put in this much meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeeeeeeeeeeeeemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (imagine honey bee actually making these sounds- it is probably funnier than reading it) and I reply, so mmmmmmmeememmemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and I am corrected to mmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeememmemememmemememem and memmemememem.

So I boil water, take regular Lipton tea, cut a piece of lemon, put in meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of honey , add water and mix it all up and hand the cup to bee.

“Perfect cup of tea” she said

And then

Please add more water, I do so, then add some more , she requests

Then – the lemon is not enough- goes in the kitchen and cuts a larger piece

And finally not sweet enough and add more eoeemmememmememmemememmemememmeme of honey and a bit more eeeeeeeeeeeee after another sip

 

After that the tea is finally perfect

The last quote is “it was good till I tasted it”

 

After this event I have to quote a great man.

“Trying is the 1^st step towards failure, so don’t even try” H. Simpson

 

My own tea was ok- but I need whole milk and not that diet flavorless kind.

 

This weekend I am hosting another event- build a snowman competition and perhaps a game of snowdodge ; since I have never built a snow man, this will be a recorded experience. And snowdodge is dodge ball in/with snow.

 

Another issue I did not know is that there is more than 1 type of snow, and I don’t mean light snow or heavy snow. There is dry snow and wet snow. The wet snow makes skiing a lot faster- which makes it the good skiing snow and also you can pile it up and build a good snow man (or snow woman if you want to). The dry snow doesn’t stack up and you can build perhaps tiny snow cubes at best. But dry snow has its uses. With dry snow on your car, it doesn’t stick, so when you want to hurry at the end of a work day, all you have to do is brush it off (with certain percentage getting in your car) but a wet snow tends to ice and then you scrape and scrape till your finger goes blue (especially if you didn’t put on the glove that you have in the car right next to you!), clearly there is no winner on which snow type is the best. There is also slushy snow, and probably more, but I am just a soft more in snow studies, I will report on other kinds when I learn about them.

 

Looking forward to a snow/homework filled weekend

 

Cheers (and If you see the sun, let me know, I have not seen in this decade at all)
