Choosing a mug is important.
Almost as important as chronicling your boring bullshit in a brand new blog. That red insulated mug, for instance, was purchased by Jeanette on Temu.
Jeanette is, for all intents and purposes, kind of like my mother in law. Jeanette has developed a Temu problem; it’s hard to stay mad at her because she laughs a lot.
My to-do list is 4 years long and counting. It’s a problem. On top of inadequate handle space on some mugs. There should be enough space to slide your whole palm around it like it’s the neck of your enemy. Red here is roomy, technically, but unfortunately stability is awkwardly reduced by a disappointing floating handle design.
Fortunately, Jeanette ordered several other varieties undergoing testing including a fancy green one.
