My mugs
Souveniers are the nicknacks that we pick up on holidays to remind us of how much of a great time we had.
The best souvenier I have is a coffee mug I use at work. I picked it up at Dreamworld a couple of years ago. Reminds me of the great family holiday we had. What sticks in my mind is how relaxed I was, how it was just a time where we all just enjoyed being together, doing things or doing nothing. The kids watching Spongebob or me and Mrs watching American Chopper on pay TV. Going to the pool late at night in the rain. BBQ's every second day. My coffee mug reminds me of this almost daily. This is why I go to work and this is what I have to look forward to when I get home from work each day. Even if just a little bit.
Do you have any souveniers like this?
I'm planning to get a brand new mug next week. Maybe Australia Zoo will have one that takes my fancy. Does anyone know if there's a Ren and Stimpy marathon on Nickelodeon next week? Fingers crossed.

I have a hoodie from when I was on exchange in the UK. I wear it all the time, it reminds me of the best six months of my life. I nearly lost all my stuff in a car fire a few years ago, I think along with my photos, the hoodie would have been one of the things I would have been most upset to lose. It's 2 and a half years old now, with a few little bleach stains from an accident with a bottle of Exit Mould, but I still love it, and it's generally in good nic.
I actually like collecting magnets. They are small and represent my destination very well. When I get home I stick them on my refrigerator. Each time I look at one I am immediately reminded of my good time. Yep, my refrigerator is full of magnets from around the world.
Happy New Year!
Love,
Babz
