I used to be a mug-aholic and bought a mug in every city/state/country I was and for every other appropriate or unappropriate reason. I accumulated so many mugs, my ex gave me the 'no more mugs' speech and reminded me of it every chance he got.

Now, I've moved out and left him with all the stupid Irish mugs and anything I couldn't identify with anymore ---- meaning I've got room for more mugs

Lately, I like the artsy ones - handpainted and such....
