I am still here…

January 18, 2007

…and I still have the most sincere intentions to keep this sucker up on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, I work in the insurance industry, on the enrollment side of things, and with Medicare.  This means that the last few months have been full of open enrollment super-busy nonsense, and I haven’t had a lot of time to post, read blogs, etc.  My apologies!

While I’ve been gone, a few notable tea things did occur.  We visited “Dream About Tea” in Evanston again and took an amazing and incredibly informative tea class from Hong.  That was a blast!  I’d highly recommend her classes–whether on tea or, I’m sure, on Chinese language, as she was a marvelous and patient teacher–to anyone in the area.

Also, for Christmas, I got a gorgeous new gong fu tray and will definitely be showing off a picture here in the near future.  Pete got a Super-Gaiwan, as he always complained that the 4oz ones were just too small.  This one holds about 10, I think, and came from the Imperial Tea Court.  Pictures of that, too, later.

Thanks to everyone who prodded me about it! :)  I’ll try to be better in the near future.  Hope you are all well, and I look forward to catching up on your blogs.
