I totally lied about not blogging this week and I just can't help myself. I need serious help people.

Ok so all of your faithful readers of my blog. I totally lied... ok I lied..... just get OVER it! Will ya! So the plan was not to blog. Not to read blogs. Not to comment. WELL, it didn't happen alright!

THIS will be the only post for this week. I hope. My family hopes. My neighbors hope. The whole world hopes. Pray for me people, pray!

SO I was inspired to write this post because I have read like a bazillion posts about their new year's resolutions. SOME very serious and some not so serious. TOTALLY amazing read let me tell ya! Made me think about what I truly want to work on.

So instead of me tryin to be all funny, and cursing alittle. Instead of annoying some of my readers with my lack of sentence structure and political correctness.

THESE are things that I AM SERIOUSLY going to work at! I AM SERIOUS, stop the chuckling already! Lee I hear you! Stop it! Oh wait Chelle,,, don't start just don't start!!!!

1) I am going to work on being a BETTER person: I want to be less judgemental of others. Try to do that right thing ALWAYS. Smile more, Laugh more. LOVE more unconditionally.

~~~ Hey I am not sayin I am a bad person. JUST want to be better. Instead of laughing at people I want to laugh with them. WELL except my sisters because they totally crack me up and I can't help but laugh at them and they laugh at me as well. SO that is the exception.

2) NOT yell as much. I am loud. I am loud oh ya I said that.  I want to learn to use my inner voice instead of using the loud bull horn of my voice that makes the earth shake everytime I go alittle bonkers about something I did, the kids, the neighbors, the dogs....

~~ I may have to just use grey duct tape to get that done. But hey! I AM WORKING ON IT ALRIGHT!!! STOP JUDGING ME PEOPLE... oh no, caps mean yelling oh crap...... I am going to need alot of help on this.

3) DO more things with my family and FRIENDS. I want to spend more time and energy with people that matter. Don't waste time on the negative forces around me.

4) Being more positive. Trying to find the light in a whole lot of darkness.  NEGATIVITY can be such a drag.

~ I so don't want to be a negative force either. Feeling sorry for myself. Sulking etc. or listening to those nagging people who have NOTHING positive to say and I am like WHY ARE YOU in my life? HUH? seriously---just shut up already.

5) LOSE weight. Ya ya ya. I know I know... I always have this on my list, what's new right? HEY I said I AM WORKING on it.

6) being more spirtual or more religious. I want to be closer to GOD. I have been away so long and it shows. To believe again. TO be truly happy again.

7) Help others. I took a 2 year leave of volunteering because of the stress of dealing with people. RUDE people, and it was so draining. But these last 2 years have been a lonely one. I love to help and volunteer.



HAPPY NEW YEARS everyone!.... Be merry, joyful, and safe. THANK YOU TO all my friends and bloggy friends. and of course my family for NOT being judgement (well except my sisters LOL they are excused). Always excepting me for who I am.

ROCK ON you people. 2010 is TOTALLY going to rock

Peace out,
grissell

I will cut you if you try to steal my UPS packages from my porch you SOB's

It has taken me a long time to move up in this world. Yep being able to afford to get packages via UPS, purchasing online and having a decent car.  I WILL NOT allow you to take that away you SOB's. What is wrong with people right? Driving up and stealing UPS packages from people's porches. DON'T they know they are going to rot in HELL for stealing the baby Jesus gifts........... YOUR stealing from JESUS you a holes.

All over the news these freaking people stopping with nice cars in front of someone's house and ripping off their gifts off the porch. NOT any buckets(=junkie cars), not hispanics. OK it isn't my people! Just want to make that every clear because catholic guilt and the threat of being in freaking pulgatory or hell for a bazillion years WHICH by the way no amount of hail marys and our fathers are going to save our sorry excuses if we dare STEAL from the baby Jesus.

Seriously, WTH..... they are so lucky they haven't hit a RICAN house and try to pull that crap. Cuz I, a proud crazy rican will 1, 2 Karate chop their ass so fast they won't know what hit them! Then I will pull a Carrie Underwood and grab LOUIEVILLE slugger and carve my name in their leather seatsssssssss.....Then I will find out where they live and it will be on LIKE donkey KONG suckers!

So move along people. Move along. These packages aren't good shyt anyways so you will be wasting your time. I mean big time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Ahhhhhh how refreshing a cup of tea can be.... what is your favorite tea? How do you fix it....Golden Moon Tea yum :)

Refreshing, delightful taste of mint. A cool zing in my mouth, a smile, a  ahhhhhhh, a wonderful feeling, a rise in spirit is what I feel when drinking tea. It is a good day when I am able to savor that every bit of wonderful from just relaxing by myself and having a cup.


If all of you have been reading my tea series :), then you know that I was given the opportunity to review some from Golden Moon Tea. Woo hoo!


I was sent:


Moroccan Mint
Coconut Pouchong
White Persian Melon
Madagascar Vanilla
Honey Pear


Yum right! Exactly!

As you check out their site, you will see a fantastic statement:


"Great tea makes you understand the passion for tea. Great tea, like every Golden Moon Tea, has flavor as magical from a plant as the radiance of its color. Its unmistakable, and a miracle".

It is amazing how just a cup of tea rises your spirit or just makes the day seem brighter.

According to their site:

Golden Moon Tea is different from other tea companies and offers you a number of benefits.


Golden Moon Tea is not a mass marketer of tea. They focus on the highest quality.


Golden Moon Tea was founded in 1993. They ensure the best flavor and balance between tea and flavoring agents.

Golden Moon Tea uses only the freshest, highest quality whole leaf teas.


Believe it or not to ensure the quality of their product, Golden Moon Tea individually tastes and cups each shipment of tea. WOW amazing! Now that is quality control.






My favorite was Moroccan Mint. I don't know what it is about mint but it is so refreshing and it just tingles in my mouth.

Moroccan Mint offers you an enlivening blend of green tea and fragrant mint leaves.

My 2nd favorite: Coconut Pouchong. LOVE coconut. The smell the taste. Yummy. This tea was awarded Best Tea at the 2007 World Tea Expo. I can see why. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Deep, natural coconut flavor from real coconut milk, instead of the artificial flavoring employed by most other blends.

Golden Moon Tea Tea also carries tea kettles, tea gift packs, and tea cups.

Types of teas:

Green

White

Black

Oolong

Flavored teas

Tea bags

Go on check them out! You won't be dissappointed. I know I wasn't.

Later,

UPDATED: EBAY HAS NOW REVERSED THE FEES FOR THIS LITTLE BOYS FAMILY. WOO HOO! THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HELPED.

PLEASE PRAY FOR JADEN HE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A FEVER. PRAY SO HE IS ABLE TO SHARE CHRISTMAS WITH HIS FAMILY. XOXOXO

Their two year old angel, Jaden ,was diagnosed with metastatic neuroblastoma.


A sweet sweet baby boy. A baby boy whose back began hurting which ultimately led to an MRI that shed light on what was causing such pain. After his heart wrenching diagnosis he is currently receiving treatment at one of the best facilities in the nation, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Supah mommy organized an auction to raise funds for the child's family and held a public auction on Ebay. Ebay initially agreed to wave the fees and now are reneging on it.

My tea series #1... EVERYTHING tea~ Useful information MAYBE not so useful information and just a whole lot of me..YUMMY

Health BENEFITS! People who drink more coffee or tea regardless of whether it is caffeinated seem to have a lower RISK of type II diabetes.

I know seriously...hmmmmm Ok I feel like an ACTOR in preparation for a movie. I am researching the health benefits of tea, flavors, origin -EVERYTHING. I received some samples of tea and I am preparing a review and then a giveaway.


SOOOOOO I am emersing myself in everything tea! I know I am a dork.... but what's new... Listen up people I might find some useful stuff and maybe some not so useful stuff but HEY I am not a friggan doctor alright!...... so continue reading this may save your life or maybe not........but that is not the point... will you continue reading..... geez. All these questions already........shhhhhhh read
According to the Huffington post, "daily dose of coffee, decaf or tea can reduce the risk of getting type 2 diabetes by 25 to 35." This information came from the archives of internal medicine.

I thought wow pretty amazing huh? They also found that coffee and tea protect against metabolic syndrome.. Hmmmmmm


So I did some more research on the net to find out why and what others were saying about it. Goodness there is so much to read. My head was going in circles with everything tea. :) 


Ok so I found another article on WebMD that stated " the compounds in coffee and tea such as magnesium and antioxidants may also be involved and merit further research."


Magnesium- Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant (national institute of health).


It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.




Antioxidants- To help your body protect itself from the rigors of oxidation, Mother Nature provides thousands of different antioxidants in various amounts in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes. When your body needs to put up its best defense, especially true in today's environment, antioxidants are crucial to your health (medicine net.com).

So I am surfing the web and I found the CBC.ca website and they too were talking about the findings. The date that was analyzed by Rachel Huxley of the George Institute of International Health , University of Sydney, Australia and collegues.... Found that one cup of coffee reduces the risk by 7%.  Then reviewing the other findings is stated that people who drank 3 to 4 cups lowered the risk by 25%.

Then another study suggested that caffeine may increase susceptibilility to type 2 diabetes in people who are obese.

What does this all mean? HOW THE heck am I suppose to know..... I don't know which teas fall into this category.......or if all tea has these properties..............COLD or HOT.......research it yourself!!..... I can't DO everything!!! Don't you know I am a mom of 4, an addicted blogger and facebook fanatic. I don't have time to check these facts out..I need to go harvest my crops on FARMVILLE before they die K!!! Oh brother..........

So anyways, yep I am doing a review of tea... going to drink some tonight and give you all the 411 on how they taste , which ones I like. WHICH tea is it? Why all these questions what are you lawyers or something  am I on trial............... BACK OFF!Well if your asking about it........ I will give in.

It is Golden Moon Tea http://www.goldenmoontea.com/. I got these samples:
Moroccan Mint
Madagascar Vanilla
White Persian Melon
Coconut Pouchong
Honey Pear

They sound yummy I know...... I will let all you nosey people on here in a few. he he he:)
I know I am one of them....... 

Peace out,

I so envy the crafty. I want to be a crafty person. I don't have patience. But I do have so much respect for those talented people.
