Coffee Talk

Let's catch up over coffee! What are you having? I'm having some Colectivo Bucky Badger blend that we picked up in Madison last week. Since it's Colectivo, it's as good as you'd expect it to be. Add a scoop of GLG collagen and a splash of half and half and it's heaven in a coffee mug. 

What would you tell me over coffee?

If we were having coffee... speaking of Bucky, I'd tell you that I made my final tuition payment to the University of Wisconsin! My youngest son is set to graduate in May. While he isn't sure what comes next for him, he does plan to move to Chicago to live with his brother. What mom wouldn't be happy about that?

If we were having coffee... I'd tell you that today I am working from home. We've had a little break in the overwhelming onslaught of illness-related visits from the past year and I'm taking advantage of it to complete some modules to help me be more efficient with our electronic medical record. It may be hard to believe, but I'm actually looking forward to it!

If we were having coffee... I'd mention the recent onslaught of emails declaring me a winner of all kinds of prizes--Costco memberships, LeCreuset cookware, a Yeti cooler...the list goes on. It's so hard to pass up all these prizes! But seriously, most of the messages look sketchy. If you're going to try to scam me, at least put some effort into it! FYI, spellcheck is a really helpful tool. From what I've learned, there are new AI bots that can get past spam filters. I just send them all to my spam folder and hope that eventually Gmail will catch up. 

If we were having coffee... I'd ask you if you've streamed any good movies or shows lately? We just finished Wednesday the series on Netflix, which was great, 1923 (the first part) on Paramount+, and we loved The White Lotus part 2 on HBO max. Movie-wise, we haven't been so lucky-- almost everything we've wanted to watch requires an additional fee! The Menu, which is on HBO max, is really good, but I don't think everyone will get it. Emily the Criminal, which is on Netflix was also really good. We also watched You People on Netflix, which we didn't like at all. 

If we were having coffee... I'd ask if you are still playing Wordle? Because I am! But I am obsessed with the Spelling Bee game on the NYTimes game page. You get a set of letters and form words, using the center letter in every word. It's not as easy as it sounds, but it's addicting! You can reach certain levels and when I reach the Genius level, I announce it to my hubs and he promptly rolls his eyes, lol. Maybe he should try it, just saying...

What would you tell me over coffee? Are you still playing Wordle? Do you have any other games you play daily? Have you streamed any good movies or shows lately? Are you getting a ton of spam email telling you that you're a winner?

I'm linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date and with the ladies of Fit Five Friday:  Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn, and Zenaida.
