That’s funny! No, you can’t throw it out. It’s an excellent example of the form.

Memory slipping I thought “freaky” I have that same coffee cup in my cupboard – and then realized we were together when we got those coffee cups. Now I can’t toss it out!

I wonder if she said, “Oh boy, another little spoon,” through a clenched smile.

Floaty pens are good, too, but those aren’t always easy to find.

I made a habit of getting something for the administrative assistant whenever I traveled, because my life was easier if they were happy. The shot glass was always the easy way to go, except for one place I worked where I knew our admin collected playing card decks. I’ll bet somebody else got her started on that. One former co-worker got the little collectible spoons for his wife every time he traveled.

Ohh, Chris. I want one of those shot glasses. I’ve been considering starting a shot glass collection for my husband just so I always know what to buy him when I travel. I theorize that most people who collect things do so because other people force them to. They see you have one cat figurine, suddenly that’s all anyone ever gives you. It makes shopping so much easier.

I think we know why he’s Jenna’s EX.

When I was in Costa Rica the first time I got an “authenitc” machete (almost every Tico carries one). Very cheesy, but I just had to have it.

Back when I had to travel to Utah routinely for work, I had to get the shot glass that said “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may be in Utah” from the airport gift shop.
