a coffee date

have you heard of Kiki from In its Time? she is wonderful and you must click over to her blog now. also, she does this wonderful thing called the Circle each month where we all link-up and share. each month she hosts with another equally as wonderful blogger – Amy of Taking Steps Home is the star of this month (remember when i did the 2 truths + a lie game on the blog?! yep! that was when I co-hosted the Circle!!) this month they are inviting us to a coffee date – and i have never been known to turn down a coffee date!

Where are you seated?

i am seated where ever there is a seat! #amiright?! it might just be all the coffee shops in Old Colorado City but i always just look around for the open seat. preferably in a place i can watch most of the other coffee dwellers because, i’ll be honest with you, we most likely talk about the people around us and imagine the lives they have. “married 10 years” “friends from high school” “first date” “big sister, little sister date” – right!??! anyone else imagine the lives of the people around you?!

What are you sipping/munching on?

i never get food at coffee shops – just not my thing. i don’t really like bagels, donuts, or sweet breakfast treats. i may have slipped a box of raises or clementines in my purse though! and depending on the time of day i am drinking a Americano (before noon) or a soy chai / iced green tea (after noon) – i am old now, i cannot handle the caffeine! PS: i don’t like sweet drinks. i like my coffee black and my beer dark.

What do you want to get off your chest first (can be as deep as you want)?

i just want to catch up! tell me how you have been, how you are (your kids, husband, job, school, ect.)! because so much of what we feel is based off the world around us! i’ll tell you that i am SO READY FOR VACATION and I AM SO EXCITED THE BRONCOS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL! seriously. i need a trip with my husband. and i would’t mind a Colorado win! last time we were in the Superbowl i was in 5th grade. 5th grade people. also, those Sea-Hawks need to be beaten! #amiright?!?

If you could choose anyone (besides us of course) who would you have a coffee with?

real life wise – i would have coffee with my best friend Tori – she lives so far away and i miss her dearly. we have not seen each other since my wedding and that is pretty lame!

history wise – i would also love to have coffee with Walt Disney! it would be so encouraging/ exciting to dream and talk with a man like that! if blogs existed back in the day i am pretty sure he would write my favorite blog of all time!

celebrity wise – i am pretty sure J.Law and i could be real friends. she is funny, witty, cute, and adorable. and i would love to talk Hollywood with her – and also just life! i am sure it is crazy hard to keep a balanced life in that world!

What is inspiring you lately?

if i tell you, promise not to laugh at me? i have recently dreaming big dreams of actually writing a book – an ebook, real book, any book! it is crazy intimidating for me but i think i can do it! so…. we’ll see!

What are your plans after coffee?

go to the grocery store? go home to make dinner? bible study? i’ll probably have to rush off somewhere because i stayed so long talking to you but i enjoyed the time and i’ll text you later so we can set up another one! xoxo
