Welcome to the March 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!  Let’s get started, shall we?

I am glad February is over.  It did go by quickly.  While it was a mild temperature-wise month for us, it is now March, and some warmer weather.  But first Mother Nature decided to drop us a Winter storm that will start today in the afternoon.  I am crossing my fingers and toes that the meteorologist got it all wrong and we won’t get any snow at all.

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

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that just like I had a good experience with Amazon last month, I also had a good experience with Running Warehouse.  I ordered two shirts and they supposedly were delivered.  I remember that that day someone else’s package was on the front steps and so I took it to the correct house.  Nothing from Running Warehouse.  I reached out to them and after a few email conversations with them and UPS, another package with the two shirts were sent to me.  I am pretty sure the original package was delivered to the wrong house, but whoever received it decided to keep it.  

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that there are a few houses that I like but not one that I would buy right now.  Last year I told my landlord that I know he wants me to move and that I am looking for a house.  He told me that he understands and that there is no rush for me to leave.  He also mentioned how expensive the houses cost.  I was relieved.  The houses on my list are ready for me to view and hopefully buy just in case he gives me a notice that I need to move.  Is my plan the best plan?  Probably not, but I don’t think there is another option for me.  I do wish the interest rates weren’t ridiculously high.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am inspired by Erica’s run streak.  She just finished 3 years and still going!  I did a one-year run streak a few years ago.  However, just when I “start” one, something comes up and then I don’t run that day.  I guess that is the universe telling me not to do it.  Right?

If we were having coffee…
Last month I received an email from Twitter telling me that I’ve been a member for 11 years.  Let me tell you that I am not sure how I feel about Twitter.  Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t.  Other times I wonder if I am using it correctly.  A few months ago I was into it and enjoyed reading the conversations but now I am tired of it.  Too many politics and many people being downright mean and rude.  Who has time for that?  I haven’t deactivated my account but did remove the app from my phone.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that a friend tagged me on a Facebook photo from CARA promoting one of their upcoming races to take place next month.  I remember that race a few years ago.  It is a nice photo (I love black and white photos) and I look happy in it.  However, right away my eyes went to the stomach area and I was horrified.  Ugh!  I know, I know, I shouldn’t feel that way but I couldn’t help it.

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!  Let’s get started, shall we?

I am glad January is over.  It did go by quickly.  While it was a mild temperature-wise month for us, we are now closer to March and to some races.

There is more to tell.  So grab a mug of your favorite beverage and let’s chat for a bit!

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that Amazon sent me an Echo Dot by mistake.  When I contacted them about it, they asked if maybe someone had gifted it to me and to see if there was a label inside.  No one did and there wasn’t a note.  Then they asked if I wanted to send it back.  I already have one, but this one is nicer.  They said I could keep it and I did.  The one I have now I will give to my niece.  Would you have sent it back?

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I finished watching Golden Girls.  That final episode!  Wow!  I cried.  It is such a good show.  My favorite girl was Dorothy and I am a little like her.  I also adored Sophia.  

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I need to do a better job of reading blog posts in order.  Ahem, or not fall too behind.  At the beginning of January, I was reading posts from the Friday linkup.  I thought I was finished (not sure how or why) but then I started reading the posts from Sunday’s linkup.  I had a feeling I was “off” but kept reading.  Something made me go back to my posts and that is when I realized I didn’t finish reading all of the posts from Friday.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that a few years ago I did something to my blog to make money through ads.  I completely forgot about it until last month when I checked the dashboard.  I made $100!  Haha, I know it isn’t much but it is $100 I didn’t have before.  That will come in handy to help buy my ticket to Washington, DC for the Cherry Blossom 10-Mile Race.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I don’t understand the big deal with the two spaces after a period.  I do it all of the time. As a senior in high school, I took a typing class on the recommendation of my counselor.  One of the best classes I took and I did really well in it.  What about you – two spaces or one?
