(The box actually read- "Henry VIII & His Disappearing Wives Mug") I wish Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard's heads just disappeared but left their bodies.

I took a photo of our library's patterned carpet and printed it out and used it as my mug insert. I am always coordinated with the library, because I am of the library. My mug is one with the library. Plus my coffee's gonna end up on the carpet anyway, it might as well feel at home.Jenny Reiswighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000378101269490235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10092275.post-17738449037739567202009-05-02T18:07:00.000-05:002009-05-02T18:07:00.000-05:00Mine is the Nether Regional Pubic Library bought f...Mine is the Nether Regional Pubic Library bought for my by an old boss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10092275.post-62169011184574063392009-05-02T15:45:00.000-05:002009-05-02T15:45:00.000-05:00Mine reads "THIS PLACE WILL DRIVE YOU TO DRINK". ...Mine reads "THIS PLACE WILL DRIVE YOU TO DRINK".

Whenever someone got preggers, the mug would pass to them.

I am still laughing over the idea a librarian would have that on a mug at work. <br /><br />Here, we have someone with a mug that has a one hundred dollar bill draped around it (painted, not an actual bill lol). Because nothing says "I'm broke" like a mug depicting a large denomination bill. Sad thing?
