That's it -- it's called Bubble Tea!

Bubble tea is what I was trying to describe last month when I mentioned the fun milk tea with tapioca balls I had at the Shabu place in NY. In case you missed my vague description, see that blog here. Well, to my delight, there is a bubble tea location in Philadelphia. I went there tonight with some friends, it's called The Bubble House. Looks weird but fun to drink! It kinda gets addictive--trying to suck the tapiocas through the fat straw. You just keep wanting to do it over and over....like an addict to the drug. We were running late and Lisa hadn't finished getting all her tapiocas and she just couldn't put the drink down. Kept wanting to catch her tapiocas. I know the feeling. The Bubble House is right near the Penn campus along with a bunch of other cool little restaurants and shops. Now I see that Kyle has been keeping all of these fun Penn hot spots hidden from me! More places to explore :)

So we went to the restaurant before we headed to a free string quartet concert on campus that Lisa told us about. Kara, Lisa, Laurie and me enjoyed a nice little mini concert of classical music. I've decided our child should play the violin. I really like that instrument. Who knows, maybe I'll decide to take up the violin! Since I have so much free time.....

So yesterday I mentioned that going to NYC twice in one week is my limit well the warning light has gone off, the siren has sounded, I've exceeded the limit because I'm going in tomorrow for the THIRD time this week. I'm trying to keep the cranky grump at arm's length but I feel her creeping up. At least it's Friday. (insert big long sigh here) I had to cancel Kung Fu for the second Friday in a row. One of these days I will Kung Fu and report on it. And one of these days I will make plans during the week and not have to cancel at the last minute due to my weird work schedule.
