Hey, hey, we're the Plotmonkeys. We're friends, plotting partners, friends, mothers, friends ... well you get the gist. Welcome to our blogging site where you'll find our views on anything and everything depending on which one of us is blogging and what kind of mood we're in. We can't tell you whether we'll be talking about our families, our writing, how much weight we gained after eating that entire container of Ben and Jerry's or how ticked we are about people who have twelve items in the ten items or less checkout lane. So hope you'll come back every day to see what's happening in the jungle including giveaways!

I love the grape, strawberry, and peach mango favors from Crystal Light. I know they come in the to go packets. I also love the Crystal Light Appletinis and Margaritas. No alcohol in either and very yummy.
I’ll try the peach mango, I think.
I slice up oranges, put them in a pitcher, fill it with water and put it in the fridge. It’s really tasty!
I have a plethora of lemons on my tree right now. Will try it for a refreshing change…maybe add some mint!
I like Arnold Palmer’s. It is half ice tea and half lemonade. I have found those individual powder sticks that you can make one glass at a time. Love them!
I do what MJ does, but with lemons.
I also use Mio (like Crystal Light, but it’s a squeezey thing). Yummy. Plus, some have vitamins.
I also use fun cups, like I have several Starbuck’s ones that mix it up and make it fun.
Hey Julie, try a witches’s brew. this is equal parts of orange juice, grapefruit juice
:bananaangel:
and cranberry juice, or any juices that you prefer. You also should give some nectars a try . Like mango, papaya, pineapple and my fave guava juice . Yummy!!
I love guava, but the only time I’ve had it is with prosecco. Can’t drink those every day, unfortunately! Bellini!
Since I have given up soda and any kind of artificial sweetener (have I mentioned I lost 10lbs and all my constant cravings for sweets??), I tend to do Iced Tea with lemon. Or Iced Coffee. Year round. And if you have a Keurig, the iced teas and hot cider are both yummy.
Jukes, you make me smile
I usually just drink water when it’s steamy out. Boring, I don’t like the after taste of most flavoured water. Lemonade works too and sweet tea.
Oh…picked up my free copy of Dirty Little Lies from http://www.freeebookpartay.com today too.
Peace andlove,

Thanks!
I make my own ice tea… I drink a lot of ‘hot” tea and what I don’t drink from my pot of tea goes into a jug in the fridge and then I put ice, lemon and a sweetner in it and voila’ a nice refreshing drink..
I like Raspberry Iced tea, it’s really good & refreshing.
Rain or shine, hot or cold, you will always find me with a glass of Iced Tea.
Well I hate to say it but iced tea is my drink of choice also. I use a gallon pitcher and 14 lipton iced tea bags. Put in the frig at night and ad sweetener of your choice in the morning. It is delicious!
Over night I let peeled and sliced cucumbers and lemon slices seep in water. Drain and drink chilled over ice. Very refreshing. For a change if you like green tea, use it instead of water.
I’m on a detox diet where I’m not allowed to drink anything but water… which gets really old after about 7 days. But I’m allowed to have lemons and cucumbers, so I’m going to try this!!
I think I’ll try this…green tea has caffeine, though, right? I do like cucumber flavor. It’s barely there.
Green tea comes in decaf, too!
I don’t have any suggestions, I’m gathering ideas myself! :D I’m on a detox diet for the next 20 days, and I’m not allowed to drink anything but water. It gets really, really, REALLY old after a while. Last time I did it, I dropped raspberries into my glass a few times, and squeezed lemon in, but that only takes you so far. After I finish the diet, I’m NOT going back to sodas, so there are a lot of great ideas here.
As for the temperature… when I arrived at my dad’s last Thursday it was 58 and raining (He’s in Leesburg). I was so mad. I could’ve stayed home for that! But the rest of the visit was much nicer. And I thought about you a lot while I was there. I drove past Tampa 4 times on Saturday and Sunday. I waved at you as I passed. :D
:waving:
Here in Texas a tall glass of iced tea … caffinated … and your choice of sugar ot not. Many don’t consider it tea unless it’s sweet tea. but, my teeth can’t take it. so it’s unsweet or lightly sweetened steeped brewed tea or sun tea for me. Most also add lemon (or just cut up slices and eat it with your drink). Unfortunately, no citrus crosses my door. Severe allergy
Might also try lightly sweetening with brown sugar or honey, added while tea is still warm.
My brother is hooked on the Agave sweetener. Since Agave is what they use for tequila, I’m going to have to give it a try. :thatsfunny:
Sorry to say, I am totally hooked on Coke. Don’t like anything with artificial sweeteners. I do like Simply Lemonade with rasberry. It does have sugar, though, but maybe with lots of ice it wouldn’t be too fattening!
Hi Julie! You poor baby. :freezeman: I’m an hour north of Chicago, though we’re actually having a heat wave. LOL! It’s supposed to be in the 50′s over the next few days. :onfire:
I drink Iced Tea all year round. I fill a saucepan with water and green and black tea bags. Then, once it boils, I turn it off and let it steep. I add 2 scoops of Lemonade mix (sugar or artificial) and stir. Then add it to a gallon picture with ice and fill with water. It’s refreshing and good for you! They say those tea bags pack a punch to free radicals. :boxer:
I’m thinking the mint is an excellent idea, as well. I’ve put mint in water, lemons, limes and oranges. Even cucumbers – which I didn’t care for – but even grapefruit works to make water a little less boring. I also drink flavored carbonated water. It comes in lime, cranberry, grapefruit, lemon… etc. You might want to try that if plain carbonated water makes you sick. Even adding a splash of fruit juice to water is really good! I’m always trying new ways to add some spice to water.
Good luck and I hope you find the perfect combo!
