Fit to a tea
I just spent $75 at the Stash Tea website.
I'm telling you this because they're having a sale through the 14th. Free shipping on orders of $25 or more and 15% off orders of $50 or more. The offers are combine-able.
Yesterday afternoon I discovered I'd been called out in the departmental news bulletin regarding our holiday party, which is this Friday.
Faculty, staff, and graduate students as well as spouses, partners, and friends are welcome. There will be dancing space for kids and emeriti -- and we’ll try to keep both off the sauce. While all the English undergraduates get eyesore with study on this day strictly reserved for intense exam preparation, take a break from grading and see what Clever Manka* will wear to the party this year. Remember, nothing says “holiday” like “English Department!”
* They used my Legal Name, obviously
NO PRESSURE THOUGH.
I got a good laugh out of it because just yesterday morning I was discussing with a graduate student (who also does not read the departmental news bulletin, apparently) that I was considering weirding it up this year for the holiday party. I admit I had a crisis of confidence after hearing about the mention in the DNB, but I'm sticking with my original plan. It involves a camouflage tulle/net skirt, a sequined tank top, ankle-high Doc Marten wedges, and lots of rhinestones.

Ahem...
Oh, and "please".
Re: Ahem...
Edit: I am assuming you don't mean you want a photo of the tea, although that can be accomplished, too.
