Happy 4th of July! Hope you have some fun plans for today. I’m joining up with my friends Deborah, Coco, and Lynda for a virtual coffee date.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that today is my mom’s birthday! Happy birthday, Mom! How cool is that to have fireworks on your birthday every year? Of course, everyone dresses up for Shoo’s birthday each year too since he’s a Halloween baby. My birthday? Just a random day in August…
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m almost done with week 2 of Hansons Method. I’ll talk more about it on Monday, but I felt better on yesterday’s run (day 5 in a row) than I did on the previous days, so hopefully my legs are starting to adapt.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that yesterday, Beer Geek and I got the party started early. A Friday holiday + kids old enough to watch themselves = a trip to one of the local beer bars. Beer Geek ordered a few yummy summer beers. Me? I took advantage of being able to drink dark beers that I have a hard time finding during the summer.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I took Jones to the zoo this week. I don’t often get to do things just with him, so it was really awesome. Also, there were roads closed due to the previous night’s storm and I was able to actually get there. (This is huge – I hate to drive in DC, but thanks to the GPS on my phone, I didn’t panic LOL)
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I’m having fun with the #31daysofskirtsports and can’t wait to take over the reins at the Skirt Sports Instagram account on July 11. I’m sure that they realize that there will be beer involved. Because, of course, #realwomenmove AND #drinkcraftbeer.
Finally, if we were having coffee, I’d tell you that the Tuesdays on the Run topic is a Social Media Share – leave a link to a social media account you want followed, follow Patty, April, and myself on the media, and then try to follow at least a few others. Feel free to add more than one social media channel, but same rules apply for each one!
- July 7 – Social Media Share
- July 14 – Show Us Where You Run!
So, we’ll see you there, right???
Happy Saturday! What would you share with me if we were having coffee???

Yes to kids old enough to watch themselves! That’s such a milestone. Happy Birthday to your Mom. No one in our family was born on a holiday. I was very close to Christmas, though.
It’s a wonderful milestone LOL.
I don’t have kids myself, but I’m loving that my friends’ kids are getting to that age of being self-sufficient. The “I don’t have a sitter” is no longer a valid excuse for missing out on shenanigans!
I just don’t enjoy a dark beer in the summer. When it’s above 80, I like ’em light and crisp!
Happy 4th!
Sounds like you are doing a lot of running. My body would not like that at all. Interested to see how that works for you. thanks for joining us for coffee today. Hope you have a great weekend!
It’s not an unusual number of miles per week for me, but it’s 6 days a week, which I haven’t done in a while.
Happy birthday to your mom! 😀 It’s 4 of my friends’ birthdays today too! :O
I haven’t been to the zoo in the longest of times! + hooray for kids being self-sufficient! I don’t plan on ever having kids, but I’m sure my parents were super happy when my brother and I were able to take care of ourselves! 😛
Happy July 4th weekend to you! :]
It’s a great place to be – the kids are still young enough to like us, but old enough that we can have a little freedom LOL.
Love the craft beer hashtag. Because yep, we do. Just enjoyed Sierra Nevada’s Kellenweisse with our bratwursts…
It’s an important balance. I need craft beer in my life.
Hey nothing wrong with an August birthday – that’s when I was born, haha! Hope your mom has a nice birthday today! Always fun going to a beer bar!
It’s a nice time for my husband and I to chat without interruption.
cheers to kids that can watch themselves! I remember those days well 🙂 and yes it is super fun to have fireworks every year on your birthday! thanks for the 31 days of skirts reminder, I posted my pic Saturday playing golf in mine and I think I will put one on today 🙂 bring on your beer pics, I think they are fun! Cheers to the long weekend!
