I'm not a morning person, and I'm not one for kitschy mugs, but this combo does it for me. I avoided coffee for 30 years and just, basically, avoided mornings. I was in the theater and waited a lot of tables, so I spent over a decade never cultivating a healthy friendship with mornings. We avoided each other and spread a lot of nasty rumors about one another. But then on a writer's retreat down in Mexico, I complained about not having writing stamina- I couldn't keep my pen up for longer than 2 hours. That's when a friend introduced me to the writer's best friend, coffee. It started with mochas, progressed to lattes, graduated to coffee with cream and sugar, and now has landed on coffee with milk. I guess the manly thing is all black, but we'll see about that. I get a lot more writing done and am even considering dedicating my book to caffeine, and now that I'm a teacher, coffee and I have become even better friends. I keep mouth wash in my desk, so I don't repeat the scarring I received from my seventh grade teacher with his coffee breath and algebra equations. And on top of that, I found this mug that says it all.
