Darn. I walked my by new foldy TV-table table, and brushed the handle of my brown mug. And it fell to the floor and bounced. And I thought, after a brief moment of helpless-fear, "Oh good! It's not a glass. A mug will be fine. No shatters flying at me." But then I saw it DID break. A triangular chunk about 3/4 inch long came off the rim. And the phone started ringing in my hand, while I tried to pick up the piece & tiny flakes.
Bummer, now I have no "full" sets of mugs (which in my 2-parents-1-sib mind means "four").
My mom's turning a big birthday next week. I was trying to plan a surprise gift with my brother. But he up and asked her directly for suggestions when he was supposed to be secretly casing the joint. Real surprise-y, bro! Every year, she tells us what she wants -- and not infrequently, she buys & wraps for herself what she wants, so then we simply pick which present we "give" to her. I really wanted to do something that we could execute all on our own for her. Ahh well, we probably would have suck-ed it up, anyway. :c(
