Saved By The Mug
For a year now, Sean has been trying to get me to drink out of his ugly ass Star Trek mugs. I despise Star Trek…I’m always competing with that stupid show for Sean’s affection. (kidding) But I do hate the show. It’s so boring and will instantly put me to sleep with all of its monotone talking and white noise in the background.
So, the week we were moving, we realized that we needed to keep a few plates, glasses and silverware so that we could…oh, you know…survive for the week. And Sean–that punk–ONLY kept his Star Trek mugs. I tried everything to avoid using them. Cupping my hand under the faucet to sip water that way…but it seemed inevitable. I was going to have to drink from the horrid Star Trek mugs. And just as I was pulling a mug out of the cupboard to pour myself a glass of milk…I saw a package sitting on my counter from Sean’s cousin, Jeannie (who frequents this site a lot…HI JEANNIE!) And inside this care package was not only delicious home-made biscotti…but THIS MUG she bought for us in the Bahamas:
I drank from that thing every single day for a week…Jeannie, you are forever on my good list.

I think I used to have that same mug. That’s hard core, man. Hard core. But did you see the new trailer? You might as well. It sounds like you’re going to be there on opening night anyway.
Here, I’ll save you the trouble of looking…

Sean making you use a Star Trek mug would be like you making him use a Sex in the City mug. Don’t think he’d like that. Glad I made your day/move a little better! (I’m still shocked the old mug was thrown out. T&D recycle/reuse/find a use for everything. Are you sure it didn’t end up in the guest cottage?)
