OUCH!!!

You know those really nice carrier mugs... the ones that you buy from Starbucks?? They're supposed to keep your drink nice and hot while you drink it. I know this. And I also know how hot tea is when it's first poured into one of these mugs. But this morning... I didn't wait long enough before taking a drink of my lovely tea (Mandarin Orange Celestial Seasonings *sigh*)... and I SCORCHED my mouth. Oh, yeah! I thought I was going to have blisters on the back of my throat... yup. It really hurt!! And what's worse... I didn't have anything cold handy to drink right after. I think that Garret had the right idea... just wait until the drink is nearly cold. No scorched tongues then, eh?
