Ultimate Coffee Date – January

Happy first Saturday of the month! Happy 2015!! I only wrote the date one time so far, so I haven’t yet slipped up on it, but that’s always entertaining.

Thank you to the fabulous hosts of this coffee link up – Coco, Deborah and Lynda - make sure you stop by and catch up with all the bloggers.

As for our coffee date – what are you drinking? I like my coffee very very very hot and with just a bit of milk. If we sit too long, I’ll reheat my cup.

If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I broke some big running news earlier this week here. I’m running the Carlsbad Half Marathon on January 18th. I’m running with my brother and my sister-in-law. It’s her first half! I’m really excited to do this with them.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you what you have on your calendar that you are excited about. I love having a big event to plan for.

If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that my new job is going well. I made a little holiday faux pas at the office, though. I was given a little heads up that the admin team exchanges gifts – it’s a small group of 4, so it’s nothing huge. However, I failed to ask what people typically spend and I went out and picked out a few small gifts – jewelry, scarves, etc. What I didn’t know is that everyone exchanges very small gifts – homemade, soaps, etc. Oops – I overbought. Oops.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you for some homemade gift ideas. And then I’d laugh because I’ll likely forget when it actually comes time to get it together.

If we were having coffee in person, I’d be bummed because when I have coffee at home, my dogs snuggle up on each side of me. They are sitting her now as I type.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you about your fur babies – I’d probably show you pictures of my dog’s new sweaters – they’re wimpy California babies like me and they’ve not been big fans of our little cold snap.

If we were having coffee, I’d tell you how I’m dreading next Monday. My husband and my kids have all be on vacation for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t had to take the lead in planning kid activities, nor have I had to get them all up and out the door at the same time as me. They’ve all been sleeping late and occasionally staying in their pjs all day. Monday is going to suck.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you if you were able to relax over the holidays. I hope so!

If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m heading out this morning for a 10 mile run in preparation for that half marathon. Those miles aren’t going to run themselves, so I really better be going. I’m happy that my friend from my MRTT group will be doing about 8 miles with me, so the time should fly by. Also, I’m on episode 5 of Serial, so that should keep me occupied for the miles on my own.

Are you a Serial fan? OMG – I’m so glad I’m able to listen to them all one after the other – I don’t think I’d be able to stand the clif hangers.

Happy Ultimate Coffee Date!
