Blog Entry 64 of 96 Charmaine in the city

I've called the Denver area home for more than two

Rock on!

Now I'm really scared. Just had my last Celestial Seasonings Marrakesh Express Vanilla Spice Hi-Energy bag and haven't been able to find another box at the grocery store. Must I travel to the factory for a new supply? Help me, fellow caffeinites.
