Rooh, our Company Girl over at Running out of Hands, is doing a 5k Run for the Cure this weekend. What an awesome cause! The fight against breast cancer has hit especially close to home with me, as one of my best friends, Bridgette, and my sister-in-law Shawn, have both been battling breast cancer this year. I hope you'll stop over and help Rooh by sponsoring her - there is an easy donation link on her blog - because every little bit helps. Why not take that $5.00 latte money and put it to good use? You can always take a nap if you're caffeine deprived - the nap's on me ;)
And that reminds me of this Small Thing from last year, which was one of my FAVORITE posts...so let's do it again.
Jugs.
Highly prized for their usefulness and beauty, jugs come in all sizes, shapes and colors. Some are round and smooth, while others are sleek and contoured. Many are carried by attractive jug holders that are made especially for them. The holders are particularly handy when the jugs get too heavy to lug around.
Sometimes, jugs are purely functional. They do their job dispensing their contents, and do what they've gotta do without much care for how they look as they carry out their duties.
But all jugs, even the utilitarian ones, are decorative in nature. People with especially nice jugs often display them publicly, while others only take them out for special occasions. The best ones are handled with care, and only by those who have permission of the jug owner.
