    cup.png
    Now that I'm working at the recovery center a couple of days a week, I decided to leave my own cup there. Rather than being tacky and putting my name on it with a Magic Marker or something, I ordered a cup with my name and picture on it. Of course, the cup shown here does not have my name or picture on it but the one that I receive will.

    I predict that someone will disregard the personalization and use your mug anyway. And why does spell check underline "personalization??"

    It's probably an improper form of the word that has come into common usage. I've added a bunch of words like that to my Spell Check dictionary.

    It's a mug mug.

    Did you put your cricked neck pic on it? People will be compelled to grab it before it falls all the way over.

    Maybe it's British and it prefers personalization? However, when I type that, it underlines it and suggests personalization. Both are correct spellings, although one is more common in the US while the other is more common in the UK.

    ???? Those look exactly the same. Are my eyes deceiving me or what?

    That's funny. Apparently, my autocorrect changed the spelling from personalisation to personalization, and I didn't notice.

    Recently ordered some warm sherpa-lined "shortie" boots and then had buyer's remorse. I thought the order was canceled but these arrived yesterday. They are so cute and warm that I'm going to keep them.

    Thanks, Jane. They look really cute with jeans or leggings. And yeah, we get occasional cold days and my feet are always freezing even it it's 70 degrees outside. (Plus I have two daughters so I may not have the boots for long.)
