That’s right… We have entered the “ber” months, and I have never been more ready! Yes, I’m still very much drinking iced coffee, but it just feels cozier.
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 am very much not a pumpkin spice latte, fan, but I am leaning into other fall flavors, like maple and butterscotch. People either love or hate PSL, and that’s ok. Variety is what makes the world go round. In the meantime, I’m perfectly happy until peppermint mocha season.
I Would Also Share…
That I am also leaning into the spooky season. I really want to enjoy every moment, so no need to wait on all the Halloween vibes. We lose a lot of October to “bandtober,” so we might as well get cracking. I am already on my second set of Halloween nails, read a scary book, am almost finished binging the second season of Wednesday, and went shopping for Halloween decor.
With Coffee In Hand, I Would Tell You…
That I finally ran a race! I’ll do the full recap this week, but it was so good to be back out there. It didn’t go quite according to plan, but it was wonderful to be back in familiar territory. I’m ready to put this one in the rearview and move on to the next!
If We Were Having Coffee, I Would Share…
That I am making time to read again, and I’m really pushing through some great books. I didn’t love our book club selection for August (A Beautiful Couple, by Leslie Wolfe), but it’s ok. There are so many others out there, and the next several have been wonderful! I’m currently immersed in The Fourth Wing series, and I’m finding it very entertaining.
My Final Coffee Thought Is…
That I am really enjoying this “fake” fall. It’s a little cooler, and a little more pleasant. It makes everything so much easier…. for running, and for just getting out and about. We were able to eat lunch outside on the water today, and I don’t dissolve into a puddle every time I set foot outside. It’s a wonderful thing.
What would you share with me over coffee? What are you loving this month?

“Faux fall is here in Chicago, too! And you know I’m here for it!
I’m glad to see that you did the race even though it didn’t go as planned. Onward and upward!
I am glad I did it, too. I needed to rip the band aid off!
September is truly the best month here in the Netherlands. Sometimes summer, sometimes fall, almost always perfect. Love it!
love the halloween nails too haha! why not!!
I know you were disappointed with your race but you GOT OUT THERE and I think that is major someimes! i’m proud of you!
It sounds amazing!
I have no regrets. The next race will be better.
Congrats on conquering another finish line!
I’m all for the ‘ber months too – My favorite time of year! I hope the fake fall sticks around for you for a bit.
I hope so too. It’s so pleasant in the mornings!
We are having faux fall too.
I’m hating the dark mornings and early sunsets.
Can’t wait to hear about your race.
I kind of sort of like running in the dark. But I will miss the longer days.
So I like real pumpkin but not the PSL it is just too sweet and fake tasting. Now I want some pumpkin bread 🙂 I am also a lover of the Ber months. Enjoy!
I’ll be making banana bread tomorrow. I am suddenly so inspired to bake.
I love how festive your nails are! :]
We had a faux fall this week, but it was in the 80-90’s the week before, so I don’t think our weather knows what to do with itself.
Yay for more reading! I finished what’s available in the Fourth Wing series so just patiently waiting out the next book now..
Same here! And it will be warm again this week and then cooler again.
Fall weather is starting to made an appearance in our part of Virginia, but the leaves don’t usually start changing to their spectacular color until October. Enjoy your “ber” months!
I can take or leave a PSL. My heart is with a good peppermint mocha as well. It’s faux fall here and it’s amazing. Our morning walks are so beautiful and brisk. What’s not to love. We’re even having a touch of fall colors already. I finished the Fourth Wing series earlier this year and loved all except the final book was sort of dragged out. Still a good read though! Yay for getting back to racing!
Oooh, I don’t want to read the third book until there is a fourth ready to go. I was trying to wait, but couldn’t take it anymore.
Yay for fall colors and fall in general. I love it so much!
