Don't mess with my Iced Tea

I have SERIOUS opinions about Iced Tea.

1. Nestea is the BEST
 --preferrably the way Gram Millie used to make it- crazy strong and sweet, tons of iced cubes  (note: I'm also addicted to iced cubes. this makes Nate crazy)
 --problem with this: one serving of Nestea is the equivalent  to ALL of the carbs I eat/drink in ONE day.
 --yes, we always bought it in this giant tub.  I remember when it was $2.99 (back in the day, when the world was black and white).  Now it's $4.99.  I don't care- totally worth it...except for the dang carbs.

2. Sun tea is a waste of my time
--not yummy. easy as that.

3. Crystal Lite, although tasty enough, gives me RIDIC (ridiculous) heart burn...lame.

4. I'm happy to report I will not have to live Iced Tea free this summer!
--I took a leap of Iced Tea Faith and, after staring at and reading the labels of the choices in the coffee/juice/beverage aisle for a good, long seven minutes, the Lipton Diet Iced Tea with Lemon found it's way into my cart.
--My mom, aunt and Gram Millie have always been hard core Nestea fans so I feel a bit like a trader for buying Lipton.  HOWEVER. I'm desperate.  Summer is around the corner= nice weather, nights on the deck, grilling, boating, 4th of July, God Bless America--

I MUST HAVE ICED TEA.

So, I'm drinking it right now...with a twinge of guilt. It's tasty and, for comfort, I added extra ice and I'm drinking it out of the last official 'ol school pink

Tupperware cup from Gram Millie's cupboard.

(can people read blogs in heaven?? Hi Gram! Love you & miss you-- more than I could ever explain!)

 I'm relieved.

Everything is going to be OK.
