a holly jolly coffee date

This is it! It’s December! Time for all the holly jolly festive fun!

After reading here, head on over to visit Coco and Deborah, our awesome link-up hosts.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That my neighbor is working for the newly opened Bitty & Beau’s and I had the privilege of visiting this week. Bitty & Beau’s hires differently abled people to work at their coffee shops, and declares themselves “radically inclusive.” You know I bought that coffee mug. My iced peppermint bark latte was absolutely perfect, and I was so happy to see her in action. They have a really lovely work space in their shop, so since it’s a hike, I plan to return with my laptop so I can enjoy my iced coffee and get some work done at the same time.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That as soon as I got home from Thanksgiving, I had to do some decorating and I made the cutest little hot cocoa bar in the kitchen. Peep the pug mug. I couldn’t resist.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we had the best Thanksgiving ever. Seriously. We had a nice, relaxing break with beautiful weather, holiday lights, great friends and good food. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we had the craziest Hallmark Christmas movie moment in Georgia. We have been talking about a relocation after A graduates, and look at what turned up on the front of the menus at the place we stopped for breakfast! I wanted to hand over a check right that second.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we got breakfast club going again! It’s been way too long! The ladies and I all have flexible schedules, so we were able to meet at my house on Wednesday. We had Winter White Mimosas, french toast casserole, breakfast buschetta and sausage balls. It was lovely to just have a festive meal and conversation. PS. The theme was Frost & Flannel.

What would you share over coffee? Any holiday plans?

    Looks like your thanksgiving vacay was just what you all needed and a perfect change of pace for you. So are you going to purchase a diner?

    I too had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with my fam. We want to relocate to Wisconsin, but we have to wait for the hubs to retire. We need his insurance because i have medical issues. So we’ve got about 4 more years. Sigh…

      We have some time, too, but it can’t hurt to look. We have independent insurance since Mr PugRunner owns his business, so really, we are flexible.

    Interesting… are you thinking of moving to Georgia? Because we’re also toying with the idea of relocating… eventually. We’ve got another year longer than you till our daughter graduates from high school. I can’t go too far north, and we don’t have any family in the south… so basically I’m open to suggestions.
    I’m glad yourThanksgiving was so nice and that you’re fully embracing the festive season- enjoy!

      Have you checked out the Blue Ridge area? It’s really pretty, but not a huge temp difference (at least not for us). Personally, I would go all the way to Canada, but not everyone is on board with that idea.

      Georgia is on the list. There are many drawbacks, but there is also a lot of room for solitude so maybe I can make it work.

    We’re going through the re-location dilemma at the moment, as well as needing a major down-size in living space. That coffee shop sounds like a great establishment! I’d love to have one of those in my neighborhood.

      I want a little downsize, but I still need space apart from people, even in my own house. Like I literally need my own room LOL.

    I’m so glad you had a great Thanksgiving! Sounds like it was the break you needed!

    Your breakfast club get-together sounds wonderful!

    Do you want to stay south when you relocate?

      I do not want to stay south at all, but Mr PugRunner doesn’t want north. So I will go as far north as I can get. I’m not sure I’ll be able to get into NC, so North Georgia might be it.

    You know we are on the hunt to find where we want to move to! GA is a bit too far south for me. Not a fan of heat & humidity! I hope you find what you’re looking for.

      The climate is a compromise. Mr PugRunner doesn’t want it too cold, and the Blue Ridge area is just about 10-15 degrees cooler overall, with lower humidity. I’m taking what I can get.

    You’re thinking about relocating eventually… how exciting and I can’t wait to follow along on your hunt for the perfect place!

    I love your hot chocolate bar, how cute. I just bought the perfect flannel pj bottoms for the Frost and Flannel breakfast (at Target). Of course, you wouldn’t have been able to find me if I had lain down on the table. LOL

In flight? You know it! I’m adjusting my schedu In flight? You know it!

I’m adjusting my schedule a little bit. Right now, I just can’t get up as early as I would like, but that’s ok. Things can be shuffled and rearranged.

Additionally, I rescued a big dog this morning with another neighbor. I heard galloping behind me as I was heading home and was almost tackled by a huge doodle-type. Between us, we were able to call the microchip service and get his address and she went to notify the owner. He wasn’t a good walker and he even knocked me down (very slowly and dramatically) while I held him and waited. He is home safe and sound and I’m wondering how many people carry leashes with them on the run just in case this happens. This is my second rescue in a few weeks. It’s becoming a thing.

Any plans this weekend? Any dog rescues while running?

It was a challenge but I got it done.

Did you race this weekend?

Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside! Peep that frost! Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside!

Peep that frost!

Solid five miles this morning. I just started the strength training plan I won from @kimrunsthemitten so I was a little sore but I think the frosty air was good for my muscles. 

It’s promising to be a pretty day so fingers crossed for more outdoors time!

How are you honoring this day?

It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! We saw @tiger24film, presented by @staugalligatorfarm at the Lewis Auditorium, and it was truly an incredible and thought provoking documentary on the tenuous balance between wild animals in their natural habitat, humans, and the consequences that occur when the two come together. 

There is still plenty of time to check out screenings at three locations this afternoon and evening! Visit https://www.staugfilmfest.com for ticket details!
