Wow this summer is just flying by isn’t it?! Can’t believe we are getting together for our August Ultimate Coffee Date already. Please join me and my fab co hostesses, Coco and Lynda for another great coffee chat.
If we were having coffee…I would tell you that I just discovered a new coffee gadget for all you Keurig users that I am so excited about. This EZ-cup (affiliate link) lets you use your own coffee and fill it up in this re-useable cup with disposable filters. Now I have a way to use that delish coffee I brought home from Hawaii! And drink more coffee! It’s the little things that make me happy!
If we were having coffee…I would tell you that we have been working on organizing things and packing up to get ready to take my daughter to college in 2 weeks. (When I say “we” I mean “me”) If I don’t step back into a Bed, Bath & Beyond for a while it will be ok. Still hasn’t quite all sunk in yet.
If we were having coffee…I would tell you we are off to the Delaware beaches for a few days to spend time with my whole family. Should be lots of fun as long as we don’t see any sharks. Seriously, I’ve had enough of those reports for a while. Oddly, people also seem to really be into watching “Sharknado”. I’ve never seen one and I don’t quite get the appeal. Am I missing something? They fly too?!
If we were having coffee….I would tell you I am excited/nervous for my Iron Girl tri race in 2 weeks. I’ve been training pretty hard the past few months. I tend to go from being really excited to having waves of panic and nausea the closer my races get. Open water swims freak me out a little. Cue “Sharknado”. Seems to be a theme huh? I’ve been training with my friend, Holly, and she is just crushing our workouts. So amazed by how far she has come this summer.
If we were having coffee…I would tell you that I am off to do one of my last “brick” workouts (bike followed by run) this morning. It’s already pretty hot out and the heat has been hitting me hard on the runs. So nice chatting with you all but
Gotta Run!
If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?

Good luck on your tri race in 2 weeks. I am sure you will do a fabulous job ! Kind of scary when kids leave the house. I still have 2 more years, and I am so NOT ready. Enjoy your family time in Delaware.
It is kind of a weird feeling getting her ready to go but all part of life I guess.
Enjoy the beach! I was just at a bed bath and beyond (running errands with my 14 year old) and the cashier asked if we were getting ready for college! I must have had a panicked look on my face because she backtracked quickly! 4 more years before that…now, on the other hand, if she was implying I looked college aged 🙂 …
I am totally sure she was referring to you! 🙂
A race and your daughter heading off to college at the same time! WOW! You will be all kinds of excited! Enjoy the beach and I don’t know a thing about this Sharknado thing. Am I missing something? Have a great weekend!
Yes a lot going on! The sharknado is some kind of farce movie or something but apparently there have been 3 of them. I’ve not seen it either. Weird though
Can’t wait to hear about your tri!! I’m up early to enjoy a few minutes of total quiet!! (love it!!) and then I’ll head for a run after the kids get up! We’ve had some amazing weather here FINALLY and it’s summer ALL THE TIME 🙂
Sounds like a great way to start the day!
Oh, I remember the summer of Bed, Bath and Beyond, but they have everything! We tried to watch Sharknado but it was just too much.
It looks totally ridiculous! Nice to see you for coffee 🙂
Good luck on your upcoming triathlon! I am sure you are going to do awesome! We just got back from the beach last week. It was my daughter’s first time seeing the ocean- she was so excited! When I went off to college ( many moons ago now), my mom and I spent A LOT of time at B, B, & B. I can only imagine how hard it must be. Positive thoughts your way!
Ah thanks! It will be a change for sure but a good one
Not only is there a Sharknado, but now there are 3! I don’t get it either. I watched the first one for like 5 seconds and was done. Good luck with your training! And have a great vacation!!
Thanks so much!
So much going on. Good luck getting your daughter off and I’m glad you get to go to the beach.
I know you can totally rock this tri too!
Ah thanks friend!
Deborah you are going to do amazing on your Iron Girl no doubt. College, yep been there, get ready.
Have a fun weekend and thanks for coffee.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Coffee dates are always fun
Speaking of Bed Bath & Beyond, do you notice the smell in that store? At mine, it’s almost nauseating. I know it’s some type of home fragrance, but it’s just not good. Too much. Good luck at your Iron Girl Tri. That is so exciting! Have a nice, relaxing beach trip too.
Uh no I didn’t notice a smell lol Thanks for the vote of confidence
I sent my daughter off last weekend for 4 days of camp and that was hectic planning and shopping and organizing. I was thinking at the time how weird it’ll be to send her off to college in 3 years… I can’t even imagine. Good luck with the rest of your organizing. And good luck on your tri! Exciting.
It is kind of weird!
Funny timing,I finally watched Sharknado (the first one) last night. I loved it, my husband not so much. I think I’ll be watching the other 2 alone.
Ha really you liked it?! Maybe I am missing something ?
After prepping for my son to head to overnight camp for a month I cannot even imagine the shopping list you must have for B, B & Beyond! Very exciting that your tri is just a couple of weeks away! And I’m with you on the whole Sharknado thing – I don’t really get it.
I know they need so much stuff!
hehehe, I remember my Bed Bath & Beyond trip with my family before I went off to college! I think we also hit up Target and Costco. <3
Hope you have fun at the beach! I've never seen any of the Sharknado movies, and don't really have any idea what it's about either, hahaha.
Ah there will be target stops too!
Have fun at the beach! I would tell you that I’m waiting for low tide so I can go for my run. It’s going to be hot at 2 PM when I can finally go out!
Oh yea it will be hot!
It always blows my mind that you have a daughter old enough to go to college!
Good luck on your tri!
I know it’s weird isn’t it be I am only 29! ?
I haven’t watched any of the Sharknados, and it’s kind of surprising, I like some of that kind of horror. Weird I know! Great luck in the tri in 2 weeks. I know some of what your going through, I signed up for a Disney Marathon, I did say marathon! I’ve only done half’s before so this will be my first one and I’m so dang nervous!!! Thank you so much for the Linkup. Holly from HoHoruns turned me onto this linkup! 🙂
I am glad you found our link up! Yay for doing the Disney marathon sounds like lots of fun!
Good luck on your race!! I know you’ll do awesome! I cannot imagine how I’ll feel when our kids start going away to college. *sniff*
It’s kind of a weird feeling indeed!
We kind of got obsessed with sharks during Shark Week, but I’m over it too! Good luck in your tri!
oh I am way over the sharks!
The EZ-Cup for your Keurig is such a wonder idea. I love it, too! I’m so excited about your triathlon coming up, I have a feeling you will be great!
The E Z cup is a great idea! Thanks I am excited for the race too but definitely nervous
Hopefully the sharks with stay in North Carolina for your trip! Sounds like you have a ton going on as usual. Good luck with the tri! You can worry about some things, but I bet you can cross sharks off of your list – just saying!
I have been entertaining my 15 year old niece this weekend. I am beat! Ready for my vacation in 2 weeks, too!
I think I am good with the sharks LOL! Yes a lot going on for sure. Those teen agers are a lot of work but at least they sleep a lot. Have fun
I love the refillable keurig cups! I use mine at work everyday :). I also don’t get the Sharknado thing. I watched the first 5 minutes of the original one and had to turn it off. Bleh! Thanks for the fun link up 🙂
I so don’t get the whole fascination with the movies either!
Thanks so much for co-hosting the Coffee link-up! I am in shock that it is already August, too. I remember how crazy things would get at Bed Bath and Beyond before I was headed back to college. People were vicious when it came to nabbing their favorite shower caddy, etc. Wow!!!
GOOD LUCK at your tri in two weeks!!! I wish you a smooth, speedy, and healthy race!!!
It’ s a fun and interesting process for sure!
I don’t have children yet, but I can only imagine all of the emotions that surround college-bound kids. Hope you have/are having a great time at the beach!
There are so many emotions! Just when they are old enough to want to hang out with them they are ready to leave!
Good luck with your race & last minute college prep!
Ah thanks! Lots to do for sure
