Tea lovers beware!

14881647_10207810202236319_398960606_o

So every morning a go to Dunkin Donuts and get an XL Tea.   I know that I should save the money and the environment by making my own tea at work, but it saves me from having to worry about having skim milk at work and it is a “luxury” I give myself.   TODAY….I walked into DD to get my XL tea and the lovely young lady behind the counter explains that they no longer sell XL tea.   You can only get a large and it comes in the Latte cup.   So looking around at the Coffee lovers getting their XL Coffee in their XL cups I say to her…so you still have the cups for and XL Coffee…why can’t you just give me an XL tea in that cup?   Her only answer was that they don’t sell tea in those cups anymore.   I get to work and my co-worker is enjoying her XL 24 oz coffee and I am feeling a little jealous lol!   You would think they would want my extra 50 cents every day for my extra 4oz of water….so thanks DD.   You will save me about $20 a week and save the environment 7 XL cups a week cause I’ll be switching to a nice big 24oz contigo mug and bringing my own skim milk to work!

More Good Luck with Homeaway.com

Some of you may remember the awesome houseboat that I rented back in August…which, by the way, a friend just rented and loved as much as we did.  Well, this past weekend I rented an oceanfront home directly on York Beach in Maine…that gazed across at Nubble Light.  The house was clean, bright, nautical, and perfect for our group of 10 friends.

It was close enough that some peeps could just drive up for one of the two nights….and I even was able to jet home on Saturday to catch Thatcher’s hockey game at Pingree Rink in Hamilton and then turn around and head back up again.

Granted, it is pretty much off-season, but we each only paid $65 per night. The Kittery outlets were only minutes away….as was downtown Portsmouth….and local restaurants. We opted to bring lots of food, snacks, and beverages up with us and just sat and laughed (and laughed) in the living room both nights. During the day there was lots of leaf peeping, beach walking, sightseeing, photo taking, and shopping.

If you’re looking for a getaway, I highly recommend both homeaway.com and vrbo.com

This is the listing that we just rented…. in case you are interested.
