Mug Mystery

[bertine]

This morning when I went to check my email I noticed that one of my favorite cups, my Red Wing Pottery earthenware mug from MPR was laying on it's side and the handle was broken off. The things that disturb me about this is:

1. Who broke it? I am guessing my cats but I don't know.

2. That I couldn't find all of the handle pieces. I think Xerxes brought them to his stash.

3. I didn't wake up when it broke. I usually love that I can sleep through anything but sometimes I wonder if it is a good thing.

I love the fact that Xerxes may or may not have horded parts of your mug.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Well... he hordes my pens and bobby pins.

You haven't met him yet, have you? OMG, he is so cute and Harriet doesn't approve of him. Ha!

Yay! Fellow MPR member. I still have to choose this year's gift. :)

LOL

I have always thought that I have a ghost in my second condo. Until I put a dresser infront of the door it would unlock itself and open up! I am just sad because I loved that mug.

Are you a substaining member? I don't like the current mug selection.

[slyefox.livejournal.com]

yes - I'm a sustaining member (have been for years). But now I can't find my email that had the Free Mug link. :(

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Me too. I am impressed that they kept their word and don't send me a lot of junk mail.

I don't remember a free mug, just one where you could pay a little extra (and shipping) and get some stuff. It is ok, I think I can make a new handle for it.

I have one of those mugs and it's a favorite - I'm sorry yours got broken.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It was awesome! It stayed warm forever, it fit my hand nicely and it just looked cool.

I think I am going to figure out a way to make a handle for it.

Sorry to hear about your mug. A nice mug is big part of enjoying coffee or tea.

Are you sure Xerxes is a cat and not a packrat, or bowerbird?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Cat did it.

Is the pledge drive over yet??

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I don't know. They stopped for a couple days then started up again.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Damn, I missed a few pledge-free days??!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I guess.

I sort of have been avoind MPR because I can't deal with anymore election or economic news.

My thing about NPR is that's what I listen to in the shower... I've beentaking REALLY BORING showers...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I only listen to the radio in the car. :(

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

My car radio has a USB port, so you can plug in a flash drive with MP3s. It's been getting quite the workout lately!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Nice!

I just don't turn the radio on.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I can't handle not having the radio on on the 4 minute drive to the dog park!!!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

feh, I am not huge into music.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I am... but I listen to NPR instead.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

PS. I have decided that I am going to buy myself a point and shoot camera for my birthday.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Awesome!!! Do you know which one?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

There is a $100 one at best buy that I have been eyeing. It isn't a super nice one but I need something better than my phone

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Eh, Honestly that might not be a lot better than your phone. I'd say go up to $300! It's your BIRTHDAY, WOMAN! SPLURGE!!!!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It is the same camera as my sister's which is the one that we took all the pictures in Korea with. I liked that one.


Plus I would rather buy more socks and unmentionables. Ha!

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I still say splurge. If you don't believe me, post a poll! (:

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Nah, I only want something better than my cell phone camera. I don't even want to print them out.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Ok, but you'll just want to get a better one again next year!

(Nobody prints stuff out anymore. Ok, I don't).

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I have my brother's dslr and you know what? I can't make myself use it. I am scare I'll break it.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Well sure, it's your brother's. (:

Eh. Worst case you buy him a new one.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It does take nice pictures. I should have a photo shoot with my cats. Ha!

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

That's what I use for my cats!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

very nice. :)
