Coffee Talk

Maybe I am the only one that is this way. But does anyone else ONLY use a certain cup for their coffee? I know Mark does. And I use my Mickey Mouse mug. Always. Unless we have company and then sometimes I do not.

My mug is from my sister-in-law. She actually bought me a pink Minnie Mouse one and Mark the yellow Mickey Mouse one. I had them on a mug tree for a while. Then when my aunt came over and helped me fix up my house, we redid (or maybe just actually DID) the kitchen, that mug tree went away. I was using Mark's Mickey Mouse mug because it was the one that was out. The kitchen is blue and yellow.

Mark uses a VW mug. We got if for having to wait when we were getting our Volkswagen Jetta wagon TDI. BEAUTIFUL car.....too bad we leased it and then decided to trade it in. Anyway, the car salesman taking care of us gave us some free stuff because our wait had been so long. This blue transparent mug was one of them. We got that car in 2003. Mark has used that mug for his coffee every since.

Mark also uses the same mug at work for his coffee. It is his In and Out mug.



Any other coffee drinkers out there? Do you use the same mug every day for your coffee? I wonder why that is. It is not that we do not have any other mugs. For some reason I just always want to use that particular mug for my coffee.

Davis uses his Costa Rica mug for his coffee. Even though this picture is from last summer (2005). That was his first cup o' joe. Yes folks, my kid started drinking coffee at 18 months. They are Latin, what did you expect?

OH, yes. I have a special mug. 2, actually, that are just alike. Big, clear glass. My husband has a special mug, too - those "soup bowl" style coffee mugs.

I hate when there's company and I can't have my own mug. :(

Whew.....glad to know there are other crazy people out there. Then again, Judy, I already knew you were. (;

Now if we only had you here so you could meet with Amanda and myself....we could have a whole lot of crazy going on!

It's funny how these things happen. We went on holiday to a caravan on the Atlantic coast in France. Everything like plates and pans and cups were included, only the cups were these tiny microscopic, 10 ml coffee holders. In the first day we had to find something better but of course in a holday resort there are no proper shops.
Anyway we found this small micro-supermarket cum general store and there they had six cups all with a seperate fruit design. There were only four of us so I insisted we selected the top four and leave the other two.
These are really thin porceline like tall thin elegant mugs (made in Thailand). Within 24 hours I realised I had never had such a great cup to drink coffee out of. We returned to the store but in vain, the remaining cups were gone, lost forever, I still think if only. Now despite having a cupboard of cups it's never as good as when it's from one of these.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...
