What sound does a breaking heart make?Hvordan høres det ut når et hjerte knuses?
Posted by Adrenalynn on 22 January 2009
I have a favorite travel coffee mug from Starbucks. It’s pink and beautiful, and I love it dearly. I used to bring it to work with me every day, and now it usually sits on my kitchen counter and reminds me of that great first sip of coffee in the morning. I love seeing it in the corner of my eye when I do housework or get something to eat.
I’ve recently started bringing it with me in the car when I take my eldest to day care in the morning, and that’s when it happened. I tried to get everything with me from the car; my purse, the mail, my baby’s car seat with him in it- and my precious mug. It happened in the split of a second. I held the car seat in one hand, the mail and mug in the other. As I placed it on top of the dresser in the hallway along with the bills I knew what would happen even before the mug started tipping over. I watched it fall to the floor in slow motion and heard the crack! of the lid as it hit the tiles. My mug was broken, and so was my heart.
Jeg har en favoritt – termokopp fra Starbucks. Den er rosa og vakker, og jeg elsker den høyt. Jeg pleide ha den med på jobb hver dag, og nå står den på kjøkkenbenken og minner meg om den deilige første slurken med kaffe om morgenen. Jeg elsker å se den i øyekroken når jeg gjør husarbeid eller tar meg noe å spise.
Jeg har nylig startet å ta den med meg i bilen når jeg kjører min eldste sønn til barnehagen om morgenen, og det var da det skjedde. Jeg prøvde å få alt med meg fra bilen; vesken, posten, bilsetet med babyen- og min dyrebare termokopp. Det skjedde i brøkdelen av et sekund. Jeg holdt bilsetet med én hånd og posten og koppen i den andre. Når jeg plasserte den oppå kommoden i gangen sammen med regningene visste jeg hva som ville skje allerede før koppen startet å tippe. Jeg så den falle mot gulvet i sakte film og hørte lokket sprekke idet det traff flisene. Koppen min var knust, sammen med mitt hjerte.

Sad… I hope you didn’t scratch the floor. I really like those tiles.
Just kidding, you know there aren’t many people in the world more deserving of that pink sexyness of a cup than you. And those tiles are really nice.
Ai ai ai… Jeg kjenner hjertet pumpe når jeg tenker på min egen rosa… Føler med deg i sorgen…
Jeg har ei venninnne som skal til London i april… jeg kan sette henne på saken. Kanskje de har rosa termokopper fremdeles =) Du trenger det når arbeidslivet krever sin dame fra høsten av =)
Is there room in your heart for another mug?

Well, it’s better to have loved and lost …
Xs last blog post..Movie Spoilers. Not the Kind You Think.
We have them in the UK (I think). I could do it for you. Unless you have another plan?
You know, I’ve never even been into a Starbucks before.
Dave, that would be so awesome! I’m going through serious withdrawal… You are a true champion!
And are you kidding me?! I thought all you cops did was eat donuts and drink coffee…
I’m not kidding!!
Not a single donut has passed my lips in over six months. I’m a reformed character.
I’ll drop you an email about the mug a little later today.
[...] cooler and better than mine to walk all over their home town in the extreme heat/snow to look for a new mug for me. And every Starbucks AROUND THE WOLRD is out of stock. This is a [...]
This travel coffee mug from Starbucks looks great, but your new one looks better
You’re heartless.
And the tiles are fine, thankyouverymuch. But now that you mention it, they ARE very nice…
I know, right?! All that pink sexyness… And it’s discontinued… sigh.
Takk! I feel the love
Jaaaae!!! Den rosa er ikke i salg lenger, men nå finnes det jo mange andre fine:) og så er det jo bare lokket som er ødelagt, så jeg kan jo bare bytte over!
:)
Oh, definitely! The problem is , though, that we don’t have Starbucks in Norway, so I’ll have to get somebody to buy it for me! But I will…
I know someday I’ll love again… *sob*
Wow- I’m genuinely impressed! I keep discovering I have no character strength…
I agree
