tragedy - 08:21 AM
(filed under 'general')
tragedy has struck. my cow mug, my famous cow mug, has finally died. 
i was about to make hot chocolates this morning for myself & shroom & when i was bringing our mugs over to the kettle, i dropped my cow mug. it landed on one edge, top down & shattered into about thirty pieces, only the base & it's head intact. so i had my first pregnancy emotional overreaction. i started bawling my eyes out. shroom called out from the shower to make sure i was okay. i was, but my poor cow mug isn't. i even had to go & hug him for a few minutes while i cried some more.
maybe there'll be a 'cow mug II', possibly. shroom's mum does pottery so i might try to make another one based on the pieces of this one. this one was really special because my sister bought it for me a long time ago & it's been around for so long. it's been my favourite mug for years.
rest in peace, cow mug.
*sniff*
only your first over-emotional, hormone-driven, pregnancy reaction to a minor event??!!!! you've done well! Seriously though, I can identify. Melanie keeps removing my best jocks from the wear-line just because they have a hole....or two, in the crutch. So what!?? So long as the crown jewels don't lollop out & roll away like jaffas down a cinema aisle, what does it matter????
well, i told my sister about breaking my cow mug & she finally remembered buying it for me all that time ago. she said that she's going to keep an eye out for another 'favourite mug' for me, cow if possible, but something else if she can't find a cow one. she's good, my sister.
R.I.P. cow mug. you served your mistress well. now retire to the green pastures of broken bovine pottery. know that tears were shed and you'll be greatly missed.

ohhhh! my heart goes out to you!. I'm really sentimental about stuff too, infact i once cried about a pair of lost shorts!, in retrospect I can look back and laugh at myself, but at the time I was a mess! coz they were my favourites and i'd had them for ages.My boyfriend at the time had to get off the phone to comfort me with cuddles, he was like "sorry sally,i'm gonna have to go,katie's really upset about something". Then the next time I saw her she said "are you okay?" and my reply was "yeah, i'm fine now, i'd just lost a pair of shorts!!"
