“I am not a paper cup”

I love this mug. Although I have to acknowledge that I occasionally buy a cup of something warm in a paper mug, I try as hard as I possibly can to make my own coffee every morning. I personally don’t know how people can justify buying $3 lattes everyday, let alone think it is ok to collect paper cups in their trash cans. But, I suppose I am just a little frugal and perhaps a bit more eco-minded. Case in point: last night Cooper wanted to take me out to dinner, but a little voice inside me said…”Assin, you guys have 12+ trips coming up which will require $$$…don’t go buy a $4 beer when you have 3 cases of great beer at home. You also have food in your refridgerator that needs to be eaten.” Needless to say, I caved and we went out for beers and curly fries (oh my, I am now addicted to curly fries!).

Anyhow, I love this mug. It isn’t in stores yet…looks like some time in February.  (found at DCI…Decor Craft Inc.).

I had a thought the other day…

I see that Kate Hudson is in a new movie with Matthew McConaughey called Fool’s Gold. I don’t know too much about the movie, but I do know that it involves a big boat. Hmmm. When I saw the preview I had flashbacks to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell in Overboard. I then realized that this new movie is not a remake, but a treasure hunting something something. Wouldn’t Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey make the perfect duo for a recreation of the original Overboard? Gosh. Perhaps I should get into screenwriting or something.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
