If We Were On A Coffee Date | No. 2
I wasn't expecting to take a blogging hiatus, but it happened. And I can honestly say I didn't miss coming up with posts. Life has been crazy. The last two weeks have been an absolute blur. Normally I'd feel guilty about taking a break but I don't. Blogging was becoming a chore and I didn't want that. I want to come to this space excited and ready to write. And after all, what would be the point of writing a lackluster to post only to waste your time time and mine?
If We Were On a Coffee Date this morning I'd give you a peek as to what's been going on in these last few weeks...
+If we were on a coffee date I'd bust out to tell you that I'm going home (again) this weekend. It couldn't be more perfect timing.
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you that one of my my favorite bloggers, Elise announced her pregnancy earlier this week and I could not be more excited for her and her hubby Mark!! She's the sweetest. I'd then probably ramble on why I love her blog so much. If you haven't read her blog, go do it! And be sure to tell her that I sent you her way :)
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell that it's been a year to the day that my Grandpa passed away. It's just weird and feels like an eternity since I've seen him. Then I'd probably get a lump in my throat thinking of all the memories. I'd quickly ask what's going on in your world just to change the topic.
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you that I'm having a really hard season. I can't even explain what's going on. A MAJOR funk that I can't get out of. Maybe even shed a few tears. But don't worry- I won't get too emotional on ya. Save that for another time and place!
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you that Jason Aldean's new cd is on repeat and I can't stop listening. One of the best things getting me through the week. Oh and my B+BW fall candle. That too has been a God send. Makes my apartment smell good too! Double win! :)
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you that I have the holiday decorating bug already. I understand I should be decorating for Halloween but if you know something about me, I hate Halloween. I'll pass on the haunted houses and everything scary. Bring on Thanksgiving and Christmas!!
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you that I need "Kate Time" to feel rested, relaxed, and rejuvenated. To go somewhere or be with people who can get me back to my happy place.
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you that last weekend I took the GRE's and they rocked.my.world- in the worst way possible. Thinking about them and grad school scares me to no end. What if I don't get in? What's my back-up plan? ...the list of questions goes on and on
+If we were on a coffee date I'd tell you I can't wait to have my own apartment because living with a constantly sloppy roommate doesn't make this clean freak happy at all. Or maybe it's secretly so I can finally decorate how I want...duh!
+If we were on a coffee date I'd promise to you that I really do have a wonderful, blessed life. I'm not always a "Debbie Downer" even though by the looks of this post it sure seems like I am. It is a wonderful life. This season is helping me grow- thankful for that. #owningit
+If we were on a coffee date I'd look at my watch and be surprise how quickly two hours had passed! And then tell you how much I appreciate you- over and over. I'd thank you for listening to me while I poured my heart out in the tiny corner of our local coffee shop
If we were on a coffee date what would you share?
Linking up with Annie and Nat for another week of Thoughts for Thursday!
I love the idea of this post...what a fun way to do updates. I've done the non-scheduled hiatuses too...sometimes you just need a mental breather!

Hey, if you need a break from blogging, take it! This space should be a fun place, not another "chore" you have to do. Lately I've been taking mini breaks because of stuff going on and it's just what I've needed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to get out of your funk soon--do stuff for you! Massage, mani/pedi! The little things :)
Oh sweet Kate. I feel like you've put so much of my own heart's words to pen. I'm feeling similar emotions regarding similar things...not to mention it will be 2 years ago on the 24th thst my grandpa passed away. I miss him.i miss my family and I miss not feeling rushed or pushed. This is just a season...I have to remind myself of that a lot here lately. I'm here for ya :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, this is my first time reading but I want to give you a big hug! I hope this season passes and you have lots of smiles in store. The GRE's are overly stressful and I am sure you did much better than you suspect! Hope you have a wonderful day! xo
