Do you remember last week when I wrote a post titled The Unspoken Coffee Cup War?
It was a topic which obviously resonated with a lot of you. Many of you took the time to leave a comment or send me an email regarding your very own War on the Homefront. (By the way, your comments and emails were both enlightening and very amusing!)
Briefcase was out of town when I went public with our marital war regarding The Red Cup. When he called home while on his trip he never mentioned my post at all. I assumed he was busy working and never saw it.
A few nights later Briefcase was back home again. I was busy typing away on a project when I glanced up and saw this in front of me:
A three year war has ended?

HaHA!! Excellent! If I thought Hubby read my blog more often, I'd address our wars on there.

Nothing like airing your 'wars' in blog land...lol!

Aw! The way to a man's heart may be thru his stomach, but clearly the way to a woman's heart is thru small gestures like this!

Ah, there's nothing like calling them out in public. And your public is the entire world!
You go, girl.

Ha Ha! Thanks for a great smile this morning! Men ... they need to take credit, don't they? Maybe next you should blog about needing to be draped in diamonds? : )

Maybe he never realised how much it actually bothered you. Or, some of your readers' comments have given him some insight :)

I am curious to see if this continues or if it is a one time thing. Of course if it was me, it would be sporadic for no reason other than just because.

Wildly cute.

Yay! I hope this is actually the end of your war. If not, at least you got a little satisfaction. Alas, my coffee cup remains unwashed.

Awesome! Small wars won are generally the most rewarding!

uh oh, I think he is having an affair!
Posted by: amyz5 | November 05, 2009 at 11:16 AM
That's great.
You know, I was thinking - you said this cup keeps stuff warm forever. Maybe he doesn't wash it because he fears dumping out day old yet still piping hot coffee. Hmmm??? (Make that Hmmm??? sound with your best Craig Ferguson voice)

I just found you via NGIP... I love that you had a war over the coffee mug! Ours is the toilet but not drinking out of it:)
Posted by: Gladys | November 05, 2009 at 12:10 PM
That is great! How sweet.
Way to go Briefcase! You give all of us, with our own red cup issue, hope!
Now I just need a blog...
