Can you believe it’s May already? Since it’s the first weekend of the month, that means it’s time for the Ultimate Virtual Coffee Date hosted by Jill Conyers, Nikki at Grab Your Kicks and Lynda at Fitness Mom Wine Country. So, fix yourself a cup of coffee or other beverage of choice, and let’s catch up.
If we were having coffee together, I would tell you that the biggest thing on my mind this week is the approaching end of the school year. I can’t believe my son will be home for the summer in two weeks! I’ve missed him so much recently, but I’m sure I’ll be annoyed by his dirty laundry and late night habits soon enough. Last weekend his lacrosse team had their year-end party, and the team Moms really outdid themselves with the decorations.
I’d also confess the big question my husband and I are afraid to ask: will our daughter get all of her independent study work done and graduate? No matter what, it will be good to see her in a few weeks. 😉
To change the subject to a lighter topic, I’d tell you that I won a prize at work for taking the most steps in the month of April. Although I averaged more than 10,000 steps/day, I’ve slacked off from my efforts to hit 10,000 steps every day. I have plenty of excuses (my workload, the weather), but the truth is, it’s going to take time for me to really reset my priorities and develop a habit of being more active throughout the day.
If I had been keeping track, I would have taken 6 more steps on April 30!
What would a coffee date be without talking about the weather? I’d tell you that I keep thinking I’ve worn my winter running gear for the last time and then our temperatures plummet again. Last weekend it was warm enough for shorts, but this week we had cold, blustery rain. The trees in my neighborhood were in full bloom before the rain came through, but now all that’s left are blankets of petals.
At least it’s not snow!
Has your weather been more April showers or May flowers?
What’s on your mind this week?

I’m Canadian; we always talk about the weather over coffee!
Sunny and unseasonably warm here; which means we’ll be paying for it mid-June, when the rest of the northern hemisphere is on the beach, we’ll be wearing long pants and raincoats!
Happy weekend Coco!
Nice job on all those steps! That looks like it was some party for the team – how fun! You know were a big lax family too – it’s become an obsession around here!
Mmmm coffee. 🙂 What is on my mind this week… warmer weather and skimpier clothes means I need to jump back on the health adn fitness wagon. 🙂
I love those lax decorations! My son is a goalie. Next year he hopes to make the HS team. I may steal some of those designs! Fun doing the #UltimateCoffeeDate with you!
Same here with the weather. Shorts last weekend and long tights and a long sleeve top this weekend. Really? Very cool with the steps taken in April. I love it when work supports healthy initiatives.
I’m so glad we could get together and catch up. We must do it again 🙂
We had a cold week but today it was almost 80 and beautiful!!!
You took a lot of steps in April – awesome.
Glad you son is going to be home soon!
More april showers for sure! Today was the first day we saw the sun in 4 days!
Congrats on your prize and hope everything works out with your daughter and her independent study.
