I still ain't done no vacuuming in 2 and a half years. I have a nice thick soft bunch of carpet rug, rugs, it's not rugs it's carpet. And it's trapped a whole helluva lot of dirt, & hair, dust bunnies. I just can't seem to get it together. *I just can't seem to get it together.* It's not that complicated. So I'm waiting for my tea to steep. Yecch. When Stevie has his own special blends (like he used to do with his wine... his "hobo wine"... a blend of merlot with cheap white chardonay... chablis, that's what it was. Chablis, to help water it down. Hamburger Helper). But with my hot tea in the mornings, I quit drinking coffee, you knew that, I prefer Twinings Classic teabags. They're a little expensive, but typically I stock up on 'em, so I never get too low. But I got a method to my madness: I put a Twinings Classic English Breakfast teabag, in the dark red package, and additionally I also include a standard Lipton teabag. I'm lead to believe, I guess, I'm the one that created this misconception, that having two teabags makes it stronger and ups the caffeine. Prove me wrong, I don't know. ("send MBV Ringtones to your cell!") But then when I'm done with that first cup, I come back in and do it again... but this time I use Twinings Classics Earl Grey tea, in the yellow package. And I go back and forth between the English Breakfast and the Earl Grey. But I always add a second bag to the cup... the Lipton. And I use soymilk, or "Silk"... just a little bit. No sugar, never sugar... I use honey on my cereal... but I never never use white sugar. Nor do I use salt. I use a thing called "NoSalt"... it's all the flavor without the sodium. And I stock up on that, too. Surprised? I stock up on lots of things because I don't drive a car, and am slowly becoming immobile. Even walking to the store to pick up essentials. So hey, why not, when I get the chance, buy two instead of one? It depends. ===================================================== Words by r. stevie moore (all pre-recorded) Music by alan jenkins (all post-recorded) All conception, constructionproduction, final mastering & sleeve design by AJ The musical background on "Electric my Acoustic" is partially by Cody Kurth, Macon GA All words & text rage published by ©Spunky Monkey Music (ASCAP) Full transcript available at the speaker's web portal: www.rsteviemoore.com/cd/embodiment.html Many other fine compact discs by R.
