I have followed said instructions and I indeed feel that I should ever so humbly be the recipient of the Ugly Mug Award. For my loyal readers I am not above begging and bribery if necessary! Name your price!

Okay, here is me with my ugly mug! In It's day it was once a beautiful mug of me and my hubby on our wedding day, cutting our cake. The colors were vibrant, the whites were white and trust me I did not wear a yellow wedding dress or pose for pictures in an orange room!

I was having such a hard time getting a clear picture, but as you can see the picture of us is coming off.

On the back of the mug it once said Patrice & Jeremy May 4, 1991, but through the years it is disappearing fast!

The most depressing thing about this once beautiful ugly mug is, as time has marched on, it has cast an evil spell on my body, no not the one on the mug, but my present body. It has enlarged me!!

That in itself should win me lots of pity votes!! Vote now, and enlist all your friends to vote for me!! I KEN LEE coffee and I need a Starbucks card!! Trust me, I am not to proud to beg........please, please, please, please, please vote for me!!

2 Pounds & Ugly Mug

Okay, well it has been one official week since I started the big diet. So here's a quick recap:

• Bad start to a bad diet
• Took a difference direction mid-week
• Better, but not fantastic
• One really good day
• Gut bombs from Krystal's, really bad day

Through it all I lost 2 pounds!! Yay! So now starts a new week, hopefully it will not be so bad this week. I need to get a exercise program started and I have yet to implement that, so I am sure that I will have a better chance of losing when I actually do more than watch what I eat!

Have you been over to Linda's at 2nd Cup of Coffee today? Well you need to hop over there and check out her new contest! I really think she needs to cut back on the caffeine, but who am I to talk. Anyhoo, she is running an Ugly Mug contest, that is sure to have every Starbucks addict scrambling through their good will boxes to dig out their ugliest mug they own! Well lucky for me I will not have to rummage through a box, I just need to grab mine out of the dishwasher!! So yep, that means I am in for this one, so here are the rules if you want to participate....

1. Post the above button on your sidebar.
2. Also post a picture of yourself with you mug.
3. Write a post about your ugly mug and instruct everyone to go to Linda's blog on January 26th and vote for their favorite winner.
4. Oh, you must KEN LEE coffee! It would not be fair for someone to win a Starbucks gift card and not love coffee!

The winner will be announced on January 27th, and I will do anything for your vote!! ALMOST ANYTHING!! He he!

So here is my ugly mug, no not my picture, but one of my coffee mug! I will have to say before you look at this, it was not ugly to start off with, but a rather beautiful mug of me and my hubby on our wedding day!! aaaAAAAWWWWW! How sweet! Yep, that should be at least one vote! My in-laws gave this mug to me a few weeks after we were married and I have been drinking coffee out of it ever since! (that should be another vote) My middle son actually wanted to throw it away because the was cracking and the picture and wording is peeling off, but I just can not part with it! That right there should be another vote!!

Anyhoo, here is a picture of it, hopefully all it's ugliness will show through. Remember, my wedding dress was once white when I first got this mug and not the ugly Orange-yellow it is now. (That should a pity vote in itself!!) Here it is:

My camera's battery was almost dead so it would not focus and I could not get the pictures of it's other side and rim, but trust me on the 26th and I have an array of pictures for you to look at! Lucky you!

Anyhoo, vote for me and vote often!! I need Starbucks! Trust me, I will beg if I have to!
