Paula's mug

[Guest guest]

Oh, my word Paula...you want your cake and you want to eat it too.

 

I discovered my daughter using my " mug " the other day and had a regular

hissy fit. I have just one favorite mug with a Native American motif. I

share everything and anything with her, but NOT my mug. She looked at me as

if I had lost my mind. Now I stick it in a different cupboard so that

someone can't forget that this one is off limits. Did I feel not so nice?

Only momentarily, and now I dare her to use it. Somehow the darn mug has

taken on a sacredness to it.

Hi Gayle,

 

I see you share my love for coffee mugs! My mug is a very important part

of the morning when I first get up! It needs to be big enough to hold a

good cup of coffee with about half a cup of soymilk added to it, and it

needs to have a good bottom on it so it can balance on the sofa cushion

while I'm turning the pages of the paper. It also needs to be

substanstial enough that I don't worry about breaking it when I set it

down on the tile floor by the chair I end up sitting in when my husband

gets to the sofa first before me! LOL....!! But, on the other hand, I

don't want it so thick that it's uncomfortable to sip out of it. And, of

course, I want it to be pretty to look at!

 

Here's a little confession--when we have company visiting, I always get a

little proprietary about my few personal favorite coffee cups....and I

kind of...well....put them at the back of the shelf so they can't be

seen. A few times a visitor has ferreted one out, and inside I was

thinking " you can't use that! That's *my* coffee cup! " Outside, I was

all smiles! I don't feel this sense of possessiveness about any of my

other dishes!
