Coffee Talk

Let's catch up over coffee! What are you having? Currently, I'm drinking Philz Coffee Ecstatic blend with my usual scoop of GLG collagen and a splash of half and half.  It's just delicious!

What would you tell me over coffee?

Speaking of Philz Ecstatic coffee... I'd tell you that when the hubs brought the bag home for me, I noticed the name of the blend was handwritten as 'Estatic'. When pointed out the misspelling to my hubs, he insisted that was the name of the coffee--but he looked it up on the website, and yep, it's 'Ecstatic'. I added the "c" just to make myself feel better.

If we were having coffee... I'd tell you that even though I've shared my intent to retire next year, I do waiver on a daily basis. I love so many of my little patients. A few weeks ago, I was at Trader Joe's and ran into one of my families. The mom and I chatted briefly and I continued to do my shopping. I was in the frozen food section when I heard a little voice call my name. My young friend came running down the aisle to tell me he was playing t-ball! But then there was that awful 12-year-old who refused to put his phone down when I asked him to and was incredibly rude to me the entire visit, talking over me or giving ridiculous answers to my questions, and trying to egg on his siblings. His mother said nothing. 

If we were having coffee... I'd share that last weekend while we were at the lake, Cocoa got into the garbage. She ate just about everything: the discarded chicken bones, an old stick of butter, chewed the corn off the cobs, and god knows what else. My hubs found it during the night and made her sleep in the garage. Amazingly, she didn't suffer any GI distress. Nor did she learn her lesson. When the hubs let her back in the house, she immediately headed back to the garbage can. 

If we were having coffee... you might notice that I've changed my hair color. I made the decision to start growing out my gray. I'm so tired of touching up my roots every 3-4 weeks and wanted to give it a try. My colorist did a great job--after a 3 hour process, I now have ash blond highlights in my hair, which I just love! So far, the gray is blending in nicely. I'll go back in July to have the process repeated. My thought is that I can always cover up the gray if I don't like it as it grows out. Oh, and I got it cut too!

Speaking of getting older, if we were having coffee... I'd share that when we were in Madison for my youngest's graduation a few weeks ago, while we were walking, a homeless man bumped into me with his ginormous backpack. He yelled at me: "watch out grandma!" and those three words cut me to the core. I really need to get over myself...

What would you tell me over coffee? Are you a spelling zealot? If you work, what's one of the best things about your job? Any dog and garbage stories to share with me? When it comes to aging and hair, are you team color or team gray? 

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.
