Goodnight everyone. It’s been a busy day, and now it’s time to start getting ready for bed. When I signed up for Blog 365, I said I would post everyday. This hardly counts for more than a greeting. 
However, I do remember that I can post another lovely graphic from my friend, Storyteller.
(Thanks to Hootin’ Anni for the Thursday 13 header.)
I found this meme over at my friend Storyteller’s Small Reflections. Thank you, Storyteller, for the fun idea!
Here is how you play:
- Go to http://photobucket.com/
- Type your answer to the question in the SEARCH box.
- Choose a graphic from the first page that comes up.

Lois’ Morning Mug Meme Rules:
Most folks drink some sort of a morning beverage, be it coffee or tea, and most likely from a mug. Please share a photo of your favorite mug(s) and tell a story about how it became your favorite. Include what you drink with this mug.
Currently, this is my favorite mug. It holds just the perfect amount of coffee (8 ounces), the amount I can drink while it’s still really hot. Another thing I like about this mug is that it’s just the right diameter to fit in my car cup holder. It helps that the mug has a heart on it, ’cause that’s just kewl.
My morning beverage of choice is Starbucks Espresso Blend, ground fresh right before brewing the coffee, served steaming hot, without cream or sugar.
If you decide to play, grab the cup graphic for your post, and remember to link back to Lois. It’s also nice to mention where you saw the meme, and link back to that blogger.
I found out about this meme from my friend Storyteller at Small Reflections. This is an opportune moment to also post the lovely friendship award that Storyteller so kindly shared with me:
My friend Storyteller has been encouraging her readers to participate in the Message in a Bottle meme which was started by Mimi of Mimi Writes.
Here are the directions that Storyteller posted at her blog:
1. Compose a message to place in your virtual bottle
2. Right click and Save the graphic above
3. Use a graphics program of your choice to place the message on the picture
4. Post the meme and these rules on your blog
5. Return your “Message In a Bottle” to Mimi via email ~ mimiwrites2005 at yahoo.com, sign the Mr. Linky at Mimi’s site and leave a comment THERE telling her you’ve finished. IF YOU WANT YOUR MESSAGE TO BE ANONYMOUS PLEASE SAY SO.
6. Tag a minimum of five people - or your entire blogroll - to do the same. Notify them of the tag. (Like Storyteller, I prefer not to tag people, but simply invite you to participate, if that is your desire.)
Here is my virtual Message in a Bottle:
As a reward for participating in the meme, Storyteller offered her readers a choice of graphics for their blogs. Here’s the one I chose:
Thank you, Storyteller!
My friend Storyteller posted her quiz results on her blog, and I, being a copy cat, copied her. Here are my results:
The Dogster site actually looks quite fun and informative. I’m going back to check it out . . .
“What’s with the recent interest in health posts?” you may ask. My answer, “I don’t know! This just really caught my interest!” Maybe it could be because BPA is especially bad for pregnant ladies, and I currently know several expectant mommies. Please view this video to learn about BPA.
I saw this on the blog Funny Things are Everywhere.
My online friend, Storyteller, has been handing out cute badges again. Thank you, Friend!
She is the author of Small Reflections and Sacred Ruminations.
I received this lovely award from a blogging buddy at Small Reflections. This is her “Thank You” to those of us who leave comments on her blog.
This is the logo for Catalog Choice. These wonderful folks will do the hard work of contacting the various businesses who send you paper catalogs, and tell them that you no longer want all that paper to go to waste.Think about it. Do you do more shopping after perusing a paper catalog, OR after searching the online company site? If you’re like me, you search online, and then you shop for a book, music, a comforter, or whatever. If that’s the case, think of all the resources you can save by opting out of receiving catalogs.
I found out about this program from my online friend, Jennic’s blog post on Needless Paper Waste. (One of her commenters actually suggested this site.)
How many paper catalogs will you opt out of receiving? So far, I’ve started the process to stop receiving 18 catalogs.
(This meme is from my friend Marmee.)
