Ok, we didn't really do anything today. Since Daddy was home we chilled with him and just played around the house. Niki and I had a tea party. We love tea. We do an entire little ritual with little tea sandwiches. I got a second tea pot as a gift for Christmas so we made 2 pots of tea. One was a lemon herb tea and the other was called Mambo tea. I just enjoy smelling the tea leaves. Loose tea is so much more rich and aromatic than tea bags-definitely the only way to enjoy a cup of tea.
Cheshire Cat: Those who say there's nothing like a nice cup of tea for calming the nerves never had *real* tea. It's like a syringe of adrenaline straight to the heart!

In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb".
(I heard that in the movie Boondock Saints-another assassin movie. Gotta love 'em.)
In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight."
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
I just thought these were funny-I am not completely sure they are all true.
