Collections
/I was trying to come up with something witty to say about collections, so I went onto Wikipedia to see if I could get some inspiration. What I found was that there are lots of definitions for collection, yet not really seemed to fit the type of collection I was going to write about. Is my definition of collection totally off base? Did I not learn something in elementary school? Crazy.
Now I got your curiosity! Go on, check it out. I'll make it easy for you...here's the link. But come back to my blog, to hear about my collection.
I'm thinking about starting a collection. I wish I made this decision a long time ago because my collection would have been much more diverse and vast. There would be oodles and oodles of places I visited represented in...wait for it...MUGS! Specially Starbucks mugs. I know this is a common thing to collect, but they're cool. (1) They are trendy and stylist, (2) They are the perfect size for a morning coffee or tea, (3) they can be awesome souvenirs, and (4) I did work there and it is now permanently and undeniably a part of my life. Sadly, I have some problems with this collection, (1) it takes up lots of space in the cabinet, (2) what about all my other mugs, they'll feel neglected and forgotten. I love some of my other mugs. I guess the pros outweigh the cons.
This is the start of my collection. Yes, there are two Seattle mugs. I like the architecture mug (that's what it's called at Starbucks). It has cools facts on the back. For instance: Elevation: 14' Above Sea Level, Avg. Annual Rainfall: 37.07 in. Ave Daily Temp Jan., 40.1F and July 65.2F
Let's give some of my mugs some love. Here's a fond memory. Josh and I's first big vacation together - England. These mugs we bought in London. They are representing the Underground's Circle and Central lines. Cute!
Then there are the mugs Don Brown made for us. We used these tons. I don't drink out of the one with me on it - that's Josh's cup. Mine is the scenery mug.
And the random cups. One from my friend Kim in Eugene. The other I love the phrase - I gave it to Josh during law school.
Or maybe I should totally change course and just start a sticker collection. Not just an ordinary sticker collection, but a cool Seattle sticker collection.
