Sunday Morning May 4th ~ quickie journal before I head out to play in my ‘church’ before going to the theater this afternoon with Kaddy.

High Tea at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas (there, I live in Texas) yesterday was nice. Sedate but pleasant. The Adolphus is a very beautiful, luxurious, historical site and hotel filled with treasures and artifacts from around the world. The service was impeccable (as far as I could tell having never been to ‘tea’ before) and the food was delicious. I have to think this isn’t the normal tea like they have daily on Downton Abbey unless it substitutes for what we rednecks label ‘lunch’. Click Here to Visit the Adolphus Tea if You're Interested

All Things Food and Tea - I was a bit uncomfortable afterward with the feeling I’d over eaten despite the tiny finger sandwiches but later decided it was likely the nine to ten cups of tea consumed along with a glass of water and a flute of champagne. Around 8pm I finally had a couple of ginger chews to help my digestion so that I wouldn’t have acid reflux when I went to bed. Slept very well.

The ‘overfull’ feeling triggered some old emotions and patterns I had to work through especially the one that goes ‘well, you’ve already blown it today, may as well make the most of it, let’s have french fries.’ Regardless.. no binging, purging, overeating or midnight munching madness although I did get up twice for a bottle of water. And today’s a brand new day.

The introvert in me is generally uncomfortable making idle chit-chat with strangers and I’m actually a little sore today from ‘sitting up straight’ as we were dining on a sofa and wing back chairs instead of at an actual table. I just concentrated on sitting up straight, smiling, and saying things like, “Oh, how very interesting. Do tell me more’. And they did. Did they ever. Whew. Everyone in life has a story and wants to tell it. Despite my endless journals here, I am what people consider ‘a great conversationalist’ because I’m a really good listener. I already know my stories. I let them tell theirs.

Apparently I committed a huge social faux pas by turning the china cup over (empty) to read the label and pattern before they served the tea. I guess we don’t do that in public, LOL. I don’t even know why I did that as I really have no interest in china or flatware other than using it to dine but that sparked a conversation ‘well, I know this is rude but I am wondering if this flatware is sterling’. I could tell it wasn’t simply by lifting it. I’m not that backward. I guess it was funny to me because I sort of brought out the redneck in them and they dropped the pretentiousness OR they did it to make me feel comfortable.

And that’s about it. Have a wonderful day my friends.
