Welcome to the August 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 am excited to see Desi at the Chicago Marathon. I won’t be running but will be at my usual spot spectating. It is much more fun than running!
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that we are two weeks out from our first day of school and no word on when we can go into our classroom to start setting it up. That is stressing me out because it takes me DAYS to set it up. We have two days of Institute (8/18 and 8/21) with our first day with our students on the 22nd. I have a few meetings in the next two weeks and I am doing a couple of things at home for my students – time is precious!!
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that a friend of mine invited me for the weekend on a trip to Mexico City. She is going with her daughter and sister-in-law. I was interested and bought a ticket. It is for 4 days but it is still enough for a nice getaway. The other day I had lunch with my cousin and she also invited me to go to Mexico (Aguascalientes) for her daughter’s wedding. That is tempting too! Now I am torn on which trip to take.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I had Southwest credits and got a ticket to go to NY in November. I will be there to visit my nephews and spectate the NYC Marathon. I am looking forward to this trip for many reasons. The only thing I don’t like is that I have parent/teacher conferences on November 6th so I would need to be on the first flight back on Monday morning. That is what I did in March. I guess I can come back Sunday night.
If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that after looking at different venues for my mom’s birthday party next month, I secured a place for it. It will be lunch at Paisan’s Pizzeria. I already sent invites to family members and a few have already confirmed. My sister and I will be picking out the menu. Luckily there are several options to pick from since we don’t want pizza. I will get some decorations and confirm the guests’ attendance closer to the date of the party.
