November Coffee Date: Heating Up For The Holiday Season

November 7, 2025      Leave a Comment

We’ve got two months left for the rest of the year. The truth is I’m not super excited for the upcoming year, but I am very excited for all the festivities ahead. It’s really my favorite time of year, and I hope to create some special memories with all my favorite people. However, before we do that, let’s dive into our November Coffee Date!

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

Time to get our coffee on!

Over Coffee, I Would Tell You…

That I found the coolest app: ReciMe! I am notorious for finding amazing recipes on social media, saving them or sending them to people, and then forgetting all about them. This app allows you to upload those recipes directly from your social media and store them in one place. You can even create “categories” in which to save the recipes, which is pretty awesome. I started with the free plan, which gives me eight recipe uploads per week, but the paid subscription allows for unlimited uploads, and also helps create shopping lists, and other cool things. It’s working out great for my holiday cooking plans.

I Would Also Share…

That A has the flu! After a super intense weekend with the last football game of the season, senior night, an all day practice, an exhibition performance, and his girlfriend being in town, he finally succumbed to the ick. He’s on meds and resting comfortably, but what a way to come down from a huge weekend.

With Coffee In Hand, I Would Tell You…

That even though I’m staying at a client’s house, I’ve undecked the house from Halloween already. It wasn’t hard: I just wrapped up a few strands of lights and tombstones every time I went home for something, and now it’s that weird in-between time before I can really go all out with the Christmas cheer.

If We Were Having Coffee, I Would Share…

That we had a surprise visitor this week! Our back gate has been broken, so the pugs have been going out on leashes. Well, when Mr PugRunner took them out one night, they were all shocked to see another dog in our yard! Turns out, he wandered over from our neighbor’s house! Fortunately, he was caught quickly, and his family collected him and it was just a huge adventure for all.

My Final Coffee Thought Is…

We celebrated our 19th anniversary on Tuesday! Again, crazy! We celebrated with lunch on the day, and an outing to the Capybara Cafe on Thursday, and will have dinner together tonight. There wasn’t any time for a dedicated trip this year, but next year we already have some plans in the works.

What would you share with me over coffee? What are you loving this month?

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
