Current Loves & Presents & Copycat Behaviour

I LOVE coffee. I need it to function, especially at work.

Lately I have been in love with my latest find. Which really isn't MY latest find, it is more like I have admired it from a far. I kept seeing this mug everywhere, two co-workers have it, the gymnastics gym mom has it, the ice rink Zamboni guy had it, my co-worker's husband has it. Then hearing everyone rant and rave about it justified the reason, why, I, should also have one.

TA-DA AA!




OBVIOUSLY I am using it - notice the coffee grunge on the side.

Only problem with this mug is that some claim it does not keep your coffee HOT HOT like stainless does, but it doesn't taste like a stainless steel mug. Another dilemma is that my Man tried to abscond with it the other day, he seriously had it full of coffee & it was in his hand, when I grabbed it like the baton in a relay race, and THANKED HIM VERY MUCH! Heh.

I told him, if any klutz in this family was going to break this mug, it was going to be me. Another problem with this mug, when you drop it on, say, cement, or hard surfaces, it breaks. I know of 3 people that have had to buy replacements, I am determined NOT to be the fourth.

Now onto the presents!

I like presents! OK I LOVE presents!

But the best thing about presents is receiving them for no reason, they mean more to me, it means someone is thinking of you, and not just because you have to for the obligatory holiday or birthday.

The other day I bought my friend a similar ceramic mug with a bamboo holder, for her birthday. She LOVED it. It broke.

I saw two at Starbucks today. I bought them both & gave one to my friend who broke hers and another to my other good friend.

I do believe that they liked them.



An even better thing about getting presents for no reason is GIVING them for no reason. It really does get me all fuzzy inside.

Have you ever bought the coffee for the person behind you?
I have and the surprise on their face that a total stranger has bought their coffee is pretty brilliant.

Again I got this idea, when on a Sunday, a person in front of us in the drive-thru at Starbucks, bought both of my Man and I's drinks.

I figure copycat behaviour is fine, if it really makes you smile.
