Welcome to the July edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date hosted by Coco and Deborah.  It’s also time for another edition of Fit Five Friday hosted by My First 5K and More, Running with Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me!  

Now, grab a mug of your favorite beverage, and let’s chat briefly!

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I almost took 4 books from the Free Library.  I was walking back home and stopped to check out the books.  There were many kids’ books that I liked.  I picked 4 but then I remembered that I am supposed only to take one.  And I am supposed to put one in there too.  I took one book.  The next day I took another one.  I haven’t taken another one yet, but I am tempted.  

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that on Tuesday I ran my 5th race for the year.  It was a great day for a fun race!  I went out too fast and ended up with positive splits.  Isn’t that the way to do it?  Regardless, I enjoyed it.  July 4th is special because we emigrated from Mexico to the US on July 4, 1978 – I was 5 years old.  I will forever be grateful to my parents for making this decision.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that in May I switched insurance plans from HMO to PPO (effective July 1).  Imagine my surprise when I checked the website and saw that it is still showing up as me having HMO.  I reached out to BSBS and was told they hadn’t received the updated information from my employer.  I don’t understand how or why.  We had to make any changes (or confirm our current plan) by May 31st.  That is plenty of time to submit the changes to BSBS.  I am not the only one that this has happened.  Someone dropped the ball and we are paying for the consequences.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I recently switched website host servers.  What a stressful process!  I switched from SiteGround to HostGator.  They were using many words that I didn’t understand and sometimes I became frustrated.  At times I regretted making the change.  After spending hours with someone from HostGator, I got it transferred.  So far I haven’t had any issues and hopefully it says like this because I paid for 3 years.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I do not understand why people don’t use their real name on Facebook.  A few times I’ve logged in to see a random name.  And I don’t mean just a name I didn’t recognize but it wasn’t even a name that made sense or it was a condensed version of their name.  I get that some people want to keep their profile private but isn’t that what the privacy settings are for?
