I’ve been slacking!!

Therese Martin — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 07:33:33 +0000

I have not replied to a lot of emails for forever and I’m so sorry. I’ve been really busy with Tea Martini and wrapping gifts and all that holiday stuff. I usually spend my early morning blogging or on maybe facebook or twitter. I pretty much neglected all that. Anyway, I’ve been playing WoW, trying to level my character. I got in a guild and I seem to be the lowest level out of everyone. ( Peon..ugh! ) How pathetic is that? I’m currently at level 71…sigh..I have a long way to go ’til 85. whew! I was leveling pretty fast there for a bit, but Jace had to level his character and it’s been cutting in my “game time” plus I’ve also been trying to catch up on my toon’s professions. Skipping some areas cut me short of some supplies for my Tailoring and Enchanting. I blame Jace for that, but I’ve pretty much catched up. I had to farm a bunch of it myself since I do not have much “gold” in the game to buy it in the auction house which sucks. Here’s my toon’s photo wearing the guild tabard.

Anyway, back to real life stuff, I am starting to make soy candles and tart melts. My house smells awesome!!! I’m currently using 100% soy wax, but I’m might explore other soy wax blends and compare the scent throws, but I definitely won’t be using paraffin. Other news, a lot of people have been raving about the lip balms and lotions we make and that’s good to hear. I know much isn’t listed on the Tea Martini site yet, but that will be fixed on 2011. It’s one of my goals. Jace and I have been slacking on it for more than a month now. A few of my other goals includes tweeting more from the Tea Martini twitter account and updating our Facebook fan page.

What else is new? Jace and I recently celebrated our anniversary.

Wooohoo!! We ate at a popular local steakhouse and I slammed those bloody steaks..yeah you read that right..bloody steaks..plural..more than one. LOL They were huge and Jace didn’t get to finish his steak. I am such a carnivore I can’t believe it! Jace and I also discovered a rib place nearby which we’ll added to our “where to eat” rotation.

—————————–>

Well, that’s all for this update. Oh before I forget, I need some ideas for my site’s layout or design. Any ideas? I still love this one though so unless I come up with something more cuter, this layout will have to stay. Email me some ideas.

Had a great week

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted something on here. I’ve been busy on quite a few things. I’ve been preparing gifts for friends and family, been working on orders, working on our 2011 lines and trying out different stuff. Expect more products soon to be listed on our website. Taking pictures for the products has been a bit tough lately, but we bought a new camera about a week or two ago but yet have to read the manual. I’ve also been playing World of Warcraft a bunch. I have a new character. It’s a Blood Elf Warlock and so far I’ve been trying to level it up as much as I can before WoWCata. I have yet to find a guild that I like. So far I’ve reached 50+ levels in 7 days. Around 4 days, 12 hours of actual game play. I had to sleep at some point and celebrate Thanksgiving and all that. (LOL) I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I plan on being a Worgen, but I dont know now. I don’t like the Alliance at all. What else? Oh I also have been thinking about revamping the site or making more “serious” posts rather than random ones like this one. Anyway, I’m off to bed. Good night and have a great week ahead.

Switching my routine

I’m a little fed up with the cardio dance workout I’ve been doing so much so I’ve been slacking a bunch plus I’ve been considering changing my exercise routine for a while now. I’ve tried Belly Dancing before, but not like this one. These videos seem boring, but tell me that once you’ve actually tried it. I just started doing this today and I laughed a bunch ’cause after the 1st half of the 3rd video, I didn’t want to go on anymore! My legs were sooooooo sore and I kept laughing a bunch because I sucked at it so bad! I need endurance!!!! lol

Update: after a few days of doing this, my whole body hurts!

Movie Updates

Will I watch Green Lantern? Yeah probably..just because I’ve always had a big crush on Ryan Reynolds (voted Sexiest Man Alive recently) A little side comment on the video, do men really find that nerdy glasses on women attractive?

Btw, I got to watch Splice this weekend through Netflix and I thought I was going to be atleast a bit scared or it’d be about some weird science experiment killing half the human race, but it turned out to be a sick movie. The whole raping thing was just unexpected and gross to think about, but thumbs up to the screenwriters. Didn’t see that type of ending coming.

Cant wait for Friday!!! :D

….why? Because I’ve been soooo crazy excited to watch Harry Potter! I’ve been a HP fan since high school and I absolutely love HP!! I have nothing scheduled on my to-do list on Friday, but to watch HP with buttered popcorn and a large soda.
