Tea for Two -- Well, Maybe Just For Me.


I love high tea. Little cakes and cookies, egg and cress sandwiches... scones with butter and jam. It's just so CIVILIZED.

USMCman mocks me (gently) for my being an Anglophile. "You loooove those British sit-coms with the tea and crumpets and actors with bad teeth!"

Yes, I do!

I realized that one of the nice things about British culture is its orderliness. Very reassuring. I like a little bit of order once in a while and I guess that's why I like high tea, BBC comedies, and all things Monty Python. (*SPAM*SPAM*SPAM*SPAM*)

USMCman can keep his PowerBars and protein powder. I'll take the scones with jam, thanks!

I LOVE Monty Python, but I have to say I'm not overly fond of other Brit sit-coms. Just doesn't do it for me.

Are you in a Brit-frenzy because I sent you those Mr. Darcy books? Did you get USMCman the Mr. Darcy costume yet? Heh...

I haven't gotten USMCman the Mr. Darcy costume. I may just have to make him one or start scoping the Ebay listings. Somthing to work on...

YES, I'm in a Brit-frenzy with those 3 books you sent. I'm on #3 right now and loving every minute of it. XOXO
