so, i get home this afternoon, and this is what i find in my e-mailbox:

an adagio teas gift certificate from my secret pal! thank you! how did you know...and, the best part is, is that they have loose irish breakfast tea! (because, you know, i have taken a liking to all things irish since i've been dating an irish guy...) i'm very excited! i'll post photos of my teas once i receive them...(oh, and will send you an e-mail to follow up, too...thanks again! you read my mind!)
