I am glad that I made you laugh! You should hang out with me and JD (my best bud) You’d actually go home with achey sides!

It might be cheaper to have delivered to my house and then I’ll ship to the USA for you :) Let me know :) or maybe we can come up with some compromise.

It’s an acidic thing. My stomach can’t handle straight up coffee without a Prilosec so I cut it with milk because I’d rather have strong coffee with half milk than weak coffee. I hate weak coffee. There should be no visibility in the coffee and have no resemblance to the consistency of water.

That’s a pretty nice realistic list — no wishing about that. But I do like your unrealistic list, too.

Yeah, those intangibles get me every time. I would love more time alone.

Damn, I didn’t know you had to clip the dog’s toenails. One more reason why we’ll never have a dog. I did find a big white cup at Office Depot for $2.40 I might have to get two of those.

Aren’t those fun shoes? They are festive.

What a bummer that the cup is just a normal size. Grr.

I saw those mittens at Target yesterday. I might think about them — they’re for my kids and my 4-year-old has a hard time getting her fingers in the glove holes, but since those are open, they might work.

That’s the problem, jamming their digits in the spaces. For some reason there’s always an inner section that slides down and gets jammed and I have to fix everyone’s gloves in the morning. Grr.

But those mitts might work for me.

Hmm, a demitasse cup, eh? I wish my stomach was that small.

Yeah, Mr. C and I aren’t big on gifts for each other either. It just works out well that way.

@Hannah That’s awesome! I *wish* I was wishing for a big ass. Not quite. That site is GREAT! I already know which one I want: A Prozac a day keeps the voices away.

I’m going to have to figure out how much shipping would be as it comes from the UK (?) somewhere that accepts pounds rather than dollars. Although this mug is only £3.99 which looks like it’s $6.61. Now if shipping is under $10 I know what I’m getting for Christmas.

Oh psyche! They don’t even allow shipping outside of the UK. What a massive bummer. Off to Google 18-ounce coffee cups now.

@Wendy Ding a hundred, chick!

Thanks Tim! It would be fun to find that blue beaver there on a big ass coffee cup as well.

I live in fear that one of my kids will break a beloved chalice. So far we’ve gone nine years without incident.

Yeah, I think the swap wouldn’t work out.

Funny you mention that Dom, because that was one of the classes listed at the site I was at. And I thought, wtf? A class to learn how to hold a knife and chop vegetables? Next!

Golly, I don’t know what I’d do with Mr. C for four whole days. That’s great that you and hubby were able re-kindle and enjoy yourselves.

Thanks (blushes) although I have it from a pretty solid source that the cup is small — rather not as large as I want it. Hell, it’s not as large as I need it. (See the discussion with Lola/Lin/Liz up there. Huh, the three Ls.)

No, no one made that for me. I created an account and selected the things I wanted to offer. But $15 for a small cup? Hellz to the no.
