Welcome to the February 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 I wish I were in Orlando for the Olympic Marathon Trials. In 2020 I went to Atlanta to spectate and had a lot of fun. I also ran the Publix Atlanta Half Marathon so it was a busy weekend.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am excited for Kara Goucher’s partnership with Brooks. I will admit that at first I didn’t know too much about her but remember watching her compete in various races. It wasn’t until I read her book that I learned more about her and began to like her more. I briefly saw her in Atlanta but have never met her.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I just spent $675 on a night guard. I’ve been wearing one for years but I think I spent $100 or so for it. It was time for a new one but didn’t realize it would cost that much money. I couldn’t get the same one as before because my previous dentist retired and now I have a new dentist. Unfortunately, my insurance company doesn’t cover it – and I have good insurance!
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that today is the 100th day of school. Wow! Times does fly by. It was a busy week with too many assessments, etc., so we celebrated with a movie and popcorn party. We are watching the Toy Story movies and currently are on the third movie. Of all of them, that is my favorite one.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that sometimes I get annoyed when people are vague on social media. Someone I know posted an Instagram story and mentioned 29 weeks. I then sent her a message asking 29 weeks for what. She then responded “Training”. And then I asked her “Training for what?” She then said she was planning to do a marathon in August. I should have stopped at this moment, but I didn’t. I then asked her which one which she then proceed to leave me a voice mail message.
The topic for next week’s Fit Fit Friday – 5 things you love about working out. Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like. We hope you’ll link up with us!
LOL on having to extract information from your friend bit-by-bit. I understand being vague about some things, but not that!
Ugh on the expensive dental bill. I’m not surprised it was $$ but I wouldn’t have guessed quite that high.
I don’t know why it was so expensive either. It looks durable and I like it but it is still a lot of money. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much since I rarely spend much on other medical stuff.
Yay for hitting that 100th day of school! I always loved this point in the year because it all slips away after that. That said, my daughter’s senior year is going SO quickly!
Already a senior? Wow!
I often wonder if people are being vague on purpose, in an attempt to get others to engage with them (and ask for clarification on their vagueness, LOL). I agree with you; it IS annoying!
Sometimes I unfollow people for being vague.
It hurts my soul that mouthguards cost so much (I think I got quoted something like $500+). :[ They never seem to be covered either by insurance!
Getting info out of that friend sounds kinda like pulling teeth! I wonder if they were just trying to get more engagement(?).
I wonder why they’re not covered by insurance. It should be since it reduces teeth damage.
Ha I may have thought that 29 weeks meant they were pregnant! ha some people post thing so people keep commenting I think. To each his own! Thanks for joining for coffee
Haha, good one. I wish people would say what they have to day and that’s it. Next time I won’t ask.
Dental stuff is so expensive! My husband and I each have dental woes (him = weak enamel, me= bad gums) and we max out our dental insurance every year and end up paying out of pocket thousands of dollars. sigh Why does everything have to be so expensive?
I agree.
Vague posting is so super annoying.
That’s a lot for a night guard! But probably worth it. I don’t get why dental and eye care have to be so pricey.
I agree that it is worth it because without it there would be more teeth damage.
I had to laugh at the vague posting – I find it annoying too. I think people just do it just for attention.
Next time I won’t ask for clarification and just move on.
