Day 28 - Anything for Beauty's Sake

When we recently remodeled our kitchen, we bought new mugs to coordinate with the decor and threw out the assortment of old mugs that had somehow multiplied over the years and were taking up valuable space in our cupboards. We had mugs with various logos on them, from jobs, from places visited on our travels and from various universities. All were nicked, chipped or stained and certainly did not go with the new paint scheme. So we bought new mugs. And they stink! They are way too big, making the coffee, or tea cool off way too soon. I miss the old mugs that kept my coffee warm. So why don't I go out and get other mugs, you ask. Simple. I like the way the new ones look with the current decor. Kind of like buying 4 inch high heels, that kill your feet and make your knees ache, but damn they look good. Yup, it's the same premise. Of course I have stopped wearing heels, and pointy toed shoes, so I guess I can learn to buy new mugs,that or I can learn to get used to drinking lukewarm coffee.
