It’s the first weekend of the month, so I‘m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. February was long (Leap Year) and we had just about every season here in Chicago. I’m excited to start the new month and have some fun things coming up in the next few months. So let’s get to it!
What is the Ultimate Coffee Date? Imagine we are having coffee together… this post is what I would tell you. So grab a cup, “listen” and then tell me what is going on with you in the comments, please!
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m excited to be heading to Expo West again this year. This is my 7th time going since 2016. I’ve gotten a few amazing care packages and tons of cool teasers from brands. There are over 3,000 exhibitors this year – back to 2019 levels. I have to make a plan this weekend. I can’t wait to share my new finds and the trends with you!
If we were having coffee… I’m sure we’d talk about the roller coaster weather we’ve been having. I started my London Marathon training and the last two Saturdays have had huge dips in temps and even snow and ice after spring like Fridays. This week was the worst. It was 65 degrees and sunny on Tuesday (a/k/a “Fools Summer”). Wednesday was 33 degrees and windy AF. Today when I ran at 6:30 AM it was 22 degrees, but it was nice and sunny. How has it been near you?
If we were having coffee… I’m super bummed that I’m missing the NYC Half Marathon this year. I’ve run with Alexandra’s Playground every year they’ve had the race since 2012. Expo West moved back a week and I couldn’t make the logistics work. I’m going to take the red eye back Friday night and run a local half on Sunday that I haven’t done in many years. [You can still support Alexandra’s Playground here.]
If we were having coffee… I’d ask what you’re reading and watching. I’m reading Anna O. by Matthew Blake and just finished The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose. I like the latter more than I expected to. We’re watching the final season of Money Heist on Netflix. The Husband is loving it. I am “meh” – I’m done with it. What are you reading and watching?
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that we are getting a new mattress (hopefully today) and we learned this month that the one we’ve had for almost 24 years is too firm! I’ve only noticed feeling achy the last few months but am excited to try the new mattress and see how it is. We tried some out in a store but bought online. I’d ask when the last time you got a new mattress was!
If we were having coffee… I’d ask “what’s happening by you?” Please tell me in the comments!
I’m linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday. Join us!
PS. Please don’t forget my great giveaways.
