what's in a name?

When I decided to start a blog I had no idea what I was doing but I needed to come up with a name for it. I wanted a name that I could use no matter where life took me. I didn’t want it to be cute or serious but I did want it to have some reflection of me.

Well, I am an ice tea addict. There is nothing better than a tall glass filled with ice with a wedge of lemon squeezed into the glass and rubbed on the rim of the glass before filling it up with tropical flavored sun tea.

When I was in Italy I had to switch to coffee as it’s not easy to get a glass of ice let alone ice tea. It doesn’t help that I knew little Italian which made communication interesting.

I didn’t realize how much I missed ice tea until I came across the Hard Rock Café in Rome at the end of my trip. I must have consumed 2 gallons along with a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. It was heaven.

I can drink ice tea 365 days of the year but when it gets really cold, yes it gets cold in Arizona, I turn to hot tea. Because of this addiction it felt right to use ice tea in my blog name. It doesn't reflect the content of the blog just he beverage of choice. So, that is why Ice Tea For Me became my blog name.

What is your favorite beverage?
