meet my mug

Fun Monday Theme for this week - graciously hosted by Gattina  - inspired me for the first time, so I decided to participate. Yes, for the first time.   Here we go:

What do you drink in the morning, coffee, milk, tea, or something else? 
In what do you drink ?A cup or a mug or a bowl ? Please show us a picture !


 Fun Monday @ Gattina

First thing in the morning I need cold OJ. Not fresh, can't digest healthy things. And then I move on to black coffee. And to milk coffee, black tea, and more black coffee during the day, but that's another story. I have several favorite mugs but this one is MY mug, which I brought with me to Spain 17 years ago and it was my office mug in Germany , so it is about 20  years old...  In case you didn't know, I am a Libra, which is "Waage" in German.  I normally drink my morning coffee indoors but the terrace was a better place for a picture.
Update: the numbers indicate the Libra dates, German style (DD.MM), meaning: 9/24 - 10/23.

  1. Twenty years? Now that's mug loyalty! Glad you interpreted "waage"--was trying to figure out if it had something to do with a profession. What do the numbers signify? BTW, I'm totally impressed that you haven't broken your mug. I broke the handle off mine, but a little gorilla glue fixed it up.

  2. Although it is an "antique" it still looks very fashionable and nice ! It's quiet interesting to see all different kinds of mugs we all use, lol !

  3. I've had mugs that I kept that long... until my very clumsy stepson moved in with us. We went through a lot of mugs and a whole set of dishes. Your's it beautiful!

  4. I love the colors on that mug. My baby daughter is a Libra too. I drink black coffee in the mornings, as well as throughout the day, interspersed with tea,water and diet coke. The mug I am using now is a Starbucks commemorative of my city, Raleigh.

  8. A mug for 20 years! Wow. It's going to be an antique. Love the pretty blue. I wonder how does a Taurus mug look. Do you know is Taurus in German?

  9. That's so cool that your mug has made it for 20 years.

    I always start with water and then coffee. I have some beautiful pottery mugs that I love but I have to admit that my favorite mug is pretty plain and has a rather rude saying. Before I started being able to work from my home computer I used to take this mug to my office. I may photograph it at some point but then again, as I said it's not a very polite mug. What it says is: "STRESS: The confusion created when one's mind over-rides the body's basic desire to choke the hell out of someone who desperately deserves it."

    I wonder how many people would guess what a rude mug is my favorite. Those who know me best aren't surprised at all. One friend even said, that mug is so you. Hmmmmmmm

  10. We have a few old mugs too, but I always seem to get new ones, and use them.

  11. I just started doing Fun Monday as well. It's pretty fun. I didn't do last week as I couldn't make it fit. I love that coffee mug. Wow it sure is old. What a keepsake that is. I can't drink coffee...well I can but I don't like the taste. I almost put my favorite thing to drink Mountain Dew in there but then I thought nawwwh...I don't do the Dew in the morning LOL :) Have a great week ahead :)

  13. What a cool mug. I almost got fired once for messing with my boss's mug that he'd had for 20+ years. I scrubbed all the stains off of it and he flipped.

  14. Great mug, but not my Scorpio symbol. Glad that you have kept it over such a long period.

  15. I drink one cup of espresso (a machiato) every morning. I have a cool miniature mug for my espresso that I often use. It has a pretty Hawaiian print on it. I will have to take a photo of it someday. I was given it for Christmas one year with candy inside.
