“A woman is like a tea bag...
you can't tell how strong she is
until you put her in hot water."

  1. I wondered where you were going with that "bag" comment! haha

    Really, we are one of the strongest things on earth aren't we? Hope you aren't having the kind of day that puts this saying to the test.

  18. I just keep praying I pass the test each day as I feel deeper and deeper in hotter and hotter water. Sounds depressing, I know. It's been one of those days. I'll have to remember the tea bag. Thanks!!!!!
