I sent mine today today via priority mail, finally! I was beginning to feel like a real procrastinator, but all is well now that the mug is on its way. ---

Ok, despite my best intentions, my muggee’s mug has not made it into the mail. I’m going to be at the post office at 8:00 tomorrow morning to get it going. It’s just been one of those weeks at work. ---

Finally! My Package O Mugs is on it’s way across the pond. Post Office said it will take 7-10 days (and that’s sending it Priority!), so UK dopers, please be patient. One of you has been slowly mugged. And just to note, I had a card to put in the box, taped up the box and saw the card sitting next to it. So I taped the card to the front of the box and used it to address the package. By the time the Post Office was done taping and stamping and labeling, it doesn’t look too much like a card, but really it is a (lime green) envelope with a card inside. ---

I picked up my package today at the Post office and all I can say is a jaw dropping **WOW**. All bow before **Silenus**. A mug, filled with Ghiradelli chocolate squares, from the Discovery Space shuttle crew that launched the Hubble telescope. A package of Peets coffee A tin of Rainforest Tea Assorted Ghiradelli Hot Chocolate mixes Assorted Frederick and Nelson chocolate coffee spoons A jar of Trader Joes Jalapeno Hot Sauce A jar of Panola Cajun Jalapeno Hot Sauce A large package of Chili Lemon Peanuts A bag of Southwestern Tortilla Bean Soup A Squidward Tentacles Pez dispenser A tin of Ginger Altoids Assorted Xena and Buffy cards An Oly beer chaser And a pen from Yucaipa High School to write all of this great stuff down before I have a chance to devour it all. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You **Silenus** Also, I have not heard if my mugee received theirs yet, and I mailed it out two weeks ago. ---

> [@thirdwarning](#): > > Mine went out this afternoon, well, I guess technically yesterday afternoon. And I’m feeling very efficient, since I bought stamps for my Christmas cards at the same time. I’m just glad to know I’m not the last one to put the package in the mail. Wow! That was fast! Thank you SO much,\*\* thirdwarning\*\*! I’ll clue you all in on what she sent: 2 Gorgeous mugs (my tea will taste even better with these, I just know it!), a tin of scrumdidlyumtious coco mix, and a bag of cinnamon hard candies. **Thirdwarning** , how did you know I love cinnamon??? I feel like a cheap bastid for not sending more goodies to my muggee. ☹ Thank you again, TW. 🙂 Now, if you’ll excuse me… I must try this coco!! (I like exclamation points!) ---

Thanks again!! I am so glad you liked them! I felt like a giant dork sending a office mug, so I’m really glad you’re enjoying it. Ain’t kids great? My son was all mad I wouldn’t let him pop all the bubble wrap before I sent it to you. I didn’t realize you had kids or I would have wrapped it twice as thick! 😛 Happy Monday, all… ---

Woohoo! I got mugged! **Simply\_Cats** , thank you for the mug. It’s pretty neat. Thank you for the goodies also. It was such a nice treat to get in the mail on Friday! 🙂 ( **Izzybella** –the crumb-bum–has taken the week off work. So she called her poor sister and dictated this note of thanks.) ---

I had a false alarm this morning. There was a yellow slip in my PO Box, which means a package. But when I went to pick it up, they said it must’ve been in the wrong box. Wah! ---

I got mugged by **Iris**!!! It’s a weird little mug, and I love it!!! I also got cookies, which my son snatched out of the box, before I could barely register their existence. Thanks **Iris**! ---

**TellMeI’mNotCrazy** , thanks for the mug! Not only is it a grand, large mug (and will make an excellent coffee mug in the morning), it was filled with lovely chocolates. mmmmmm. And the ribbon on the handle is lovely - I’ll have to see if I can wash the mug without destroying it so I can feel special when I drink my coffee tomorrow! My muggee’s really did go out Saturday. Hopefully it will be there soon! ---

My mug has currently become a candy dish. I wonder what I will do with it after the candies are gone 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-coffee-mug-exchange/270700.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-coffee-mug-exchange/270700.md?page=11)
