I think that everyone should introduce the practice of slurping their drinks into their everyday lives. My husband taught me this, and I think that he originally started doing this for the very logical purpose of cooling his ultra steaming hot coffee before it burned his tongue. Early on in our marriage, this practice irritated me beyond belief. That along with his prefacing every sentance to me with "Uh, just so you know..." and his habit of hanging up my wet towel if it sat on the bad for more then 2.5 seconds after I got dressed. Anyhow, with the passing of time, the habit of slurping has somehow endeared itself to me. I would even go so far as to say that I have wholly embraced it. In fact, as I journal this epiphany, I am doing so in between healthy slurps of cold water.
So I just realized that I have started to do it, and much to my chargrin, along with that realization, came another. I really love to slurp. I find it uterly gratifying and I sincerely feel that it adds to my overall enjoyment of a drink. Not to mention, it brings a little satisfaction when I consider that my little slurps might be found slightly irritating to my kitty corner cubicle friend. And when I say friend, I am completley exaggerating, because she basically hates my guts for no reason. Except, now that I think of it, maybe my slurping is the reason behind her contempt.
Hmmm. Something to consider.

omg I am totally a slurper! I never thought I would be. At Starbucks they teach you to slurp because it's so good for tasting what you're drinking. I think that's why people convert to slurping as a lifestyle, even if it's subconscious. I was just thinking about slurping last night because I caught myself doing it and probably driving my roommate crazy. It was so hard to stop, it took all of my concentration.
Kayla slurps all the time... it used to drive me crazy too. Then I started thinking about when I was her age and how I loved to slurp... and blow bubbles... in my drinks! Now I just laugh every time she slurps!
