Good morning my caffeinated friends! Thanks for joining me and Coco for the October Ultimate Coffee Date today. Grab your favorite mug, pull up a chair and join us. Coffee dates with friends are the best aren’t they?
October Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…
Save me a seat and a mug. I am going to be a little late this morning as I am currently running a local 5K race. Hopefully, I did not make the mistake of bolting out of the start too quickly and then totally dying on the hilly 3rd mile. It’s an early race and coffee will be needed afterwards for sure.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…
I am excited that my daughter is coming home for fall break this weekend. It will be so nice to have the whole family together even if it is only for a weekend.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…
I am really looking forward to having a few weekends away this month. I will be tagging along with the hubs to a party at a resort outside of Atlanta. We have not had a weekend alone together in a while so, as long as there are no tropical storms that weekend should be a wonderful little escape. Trying to figure out what to wear the “Denim and Diamonds” themed party. Any ideas? When I googled it this old Britney and Justin pic came up. Too funny!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you….
I need to start running some hills! Ragnar Napa Valley is quickly approaching on November 2. I hear it’s rather hilly! We are meeting this weekend to finalize all of our plans.
Super busy weekend around here so I am going to add in my brief weekly wrap as well. Thanks Holly and Tricia for hosting.

YOU had a lot of mileage this week! Congrats 😉 Enjoy your family-fun weekend!!
Thanks love it when we are all home together
You for sure need to wear that dress!! LOL – have a great time at the party and good luck in your 5k this morning!
Thanks! You will have to stay tuned to see my real outfit 🙂
Is Denim & Diamonds a country themed thing? Color me clueless! It’ll be fun to get away. My hubby tried hard to get me to an event he has at Pebble Beach this month, alas, it did not work out. Can’t wait to hear about your 5k! It’s been almost a year since I last ran one.
I have no idea if it’s a southern thing or not! I’ve never heard of it until now. It was fun to do a local no stress 5K. I had not done one in a while either. I was pretty happy to see my pace slowly decreasing again after such a sucky summer of running
That Brittney/Justin pic is too funny!
Enjoy your time with your daughter being home – always nice to have the whole family together! Hope your 5K was fun. Looks like you had a good week of running!
It is always great to have the whole family together. Thanks it was fun today
if we were having coffee this morning, i’d tell you that i cannot wait to share your outfit for the party!!!!
have a lovely weekend.
Ha ha I certainly need to find an outfit a little more do able for me! stay tuned and thanks for joining for coffee
Ha-I think you should go for the Britney/Justin look! LOL
I hope your race went well!
Not sure I could get the hubs on board for that one!! Lol I have to find something a little more practical but still cute. 5K was pretty good thanks!
I just joined up for my first coffee date! Thanks for hosting
Thanks for joining us have a great weekend
Nice week of workouts!! Very impressive 🙂
Hope you have a relaxing weekend.
Thanks! Hope you have a great weekend too
I hope you have an awesome weekend with your family! <3 Great job on your mileage this week! :]
Thanks so much! You too
I hope the 5k went well! That Justin and Brittany picture is hilarious. I cant wait to see what you end up wearing!
So far I have no idea!
I hope your race went well! Have fun with your daughter this weekend!
And about that picture of Britney and Justin, couldn’t he afford to have his jacket sleeves shortened? It must have been early in his career. LOL
Thanks for the linkup!
lol yes crazy outfit indeed!
Ohmygoodness that denim & diamonds theme is too funny! You will need a bedazzler! Have a great time in Napa- sounds so fun!
OH yes I forgot about the beadazzler!! Great idea 🙂
I’m anxiously awaiting fall break for my college boy too! It’s always a treat to have all the chicks under one roof even if for a short time.
How was the 5k? Did you kick butt? Or at least kick that hills butt?
Ragnar Napa sounds like my kind of Ragnar!! #fortheloveofwine
Oh, how I love weekend getaways with the hubby. Have a great time and I can’t wait to see how you dress for ‘denim and diamonds’!!
Thanks for the linkup!
yes it sure is nice to have them all home together! The 5K was good. I would not say I kicked butt however, I do see some improvements from just a few weeks ago so that’s a win in my book.
That party theme sounds fun! You could bedazzle some denim 😀 Mapais going to be awesome!
I am going to need a beadazzler!
I fell in love with your T-shirt, Deb! Excellent post!
ha ha thanks!
I have to imagine that Ragnar Napa will be lovely. Not that I’m planning on trying a Ragnar anytime soon, but that just seems like a great location (even if I don’t drink).
Enjoy your getaways! Sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe a denim skirt (or jean jacket)?
I am not much of a drinker myself but I am excited to run there with the girls. Never say never say never on the Ragnar, it’s quite the experience
I hope your 5K went well!!! I would love to do Ragnar Napa Valley! I love Ragnar!
I am really excited for this one! Should be a blast to run out there
Good luck at Ragnar! I’ve always wanted to run one – I just need to meet some buddies who would do it with me! And hurray for having the family back together, even just for the weekend 🙂
I hope you have the chance to do a Ragnar sometime it’s a unique experience for sure.
Oooh a Ragnar! how exciting! I would really love to do one of those races but I don’t know if I could withstand the van and not sleeping. lol…I would be one really grumpy runner by the end of that!
We are all grumpy at the end but it’s such a blast and so worth it. I hope you have the chance to do one at some point
Hope you had a great race!
It was lots of fun and a nice change of pace thanks
A ragnar race in Napa Valley sounds amazing! I may have to add that to the bucket list for the future.
Definite bucket list item!
Awesome week of training!
I hope that you have the best time with your daughter when she is in town!
short but sweet!
Sounds like you are having a very busy fall ! So much fun to have the kids home….good luck in Napa. What fun !
Always great to have the kids home. Nice to hear from you and congrats again on your race!
Napa Valley Ragnar sounds fun! I love wine just as much as I love coffee.
Ha ha I am more of a coffee girl but it will sure be fun!
The Napa Ragnar sounds like so much fun! Hope you did great with your 5K!
The 5K was a fun one and yes I am super excited for Napa thanks
That denim and diamond pic is hilarious and should provide great inspiration! I’m sorry I missed the coffee date — too much life happening around here! Ragnar Napa is going to be a fabulous experience. That’s definitely one I’d like to do. Thanks for linking!
It is a busy time for everyone! We will always save you a cup for next month 🙂
Oh my goodness please wear a Britney inspired throwback dress! That would be HILARIOUS. That was a fashion faux pas for sure! It’s always nice to have a weekend away with your significant other 🙂
ha ha I do love that Brit still! Working on my outfit stay tuned
oh, Ragnar Napa Valley! That sounds so fun! Hopefully the fires will have subsided by then. A friend of mine is there now and a lot of the wineries are closed, as well as power outages and road closures 🙁
I saw that! I hope everyone is safe out there and it clears up soon
I hope you had a great 5K! Unfortunately I’m no fashionista so I have no idea what you should wear to your party – that Britney/Justin pic really takes me back, LOL!
I didn’t realize you were running Ragnar Napa Valley, I am so envious! I bet you have a wonderful time 🙂
Yes we are a little worried about all the fires out there right now so hopefully it will all clear up quickly
I’d love to go back to Napa, but I’m not sure I’d get much running done. I didn’t get anything in when I was there a couple years ago. I was enjoying just being on vacation and enjoying the wine.
Well yes there’s that 🙂
Sounds like you had quite a weekend! Hope the 5k went well and that your daughter’s visit was lots of fun as well. The weekend at the resort sounds like it will be a nice getaway.
Yes we did have a great visit!
The denim and diamonds party is going to be so fun!! Hope you had a great weekend with your fam. xoxo
It is going to be fun! Thanks I did
You know a few of us have talked about a Ragnar and this one in Nappa Valley has entered our radar! I do hope it will pan out.
I miss having coffee with yall, at this point it’s all I can do to get one post out. I sure do hope that changes.
All of the fires out there in Napa are so scary not sure if it’s actually going to happen now. If you ladies ever decide to do a Napa I’d love to be on the team!
