Tea me!

Happy Tuesday!

I'd like to start off by dedicating this post to Gabrielle. She is awesome. She is tough. She is generous. She bought me tea! And she is my boyfriend's mother. Surprised, are you? Well, the reason that I am dedicating this post to her is due to a few reasons. One, she let's me live in her home, with her son (yeah I know, we're living in sin...) while she lives in Europe with her husband (boyfriend's father). She comes home (to the US) every couple of month and stays for a couple of month and still let's me stay in her house! She's awesome that way... It's nice having her home, too, since we gang up on the boy in the house. ;-)

Anyway, the second reason for this post dedication, Gabbi went to China with her husband and brought me back some presents!

Chopsticks for my boyfriend and I

Tea

And more tea!

And third reason for the post dedication, is because Gabbi got me a Kombucha mother! And that will be a more detailed post for tomorrow... and I'm sure most of you are asking yourself, "What the heck is Kombucha, let alone it's mother?!"

Well you will find out soon!

Anyway...

This morning I had a great workout.
