Thanks for stopping by for our monthly virtual coffee date! There has been so much going on lately, I am glad for this chance to slow down an catch up.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I am getting ready for what I think (hope?) will be my last business trip of the year, and it’s a doozy! I’ll be gone for a full week, attending a conference in Phoenix, a conference in Dallas, and a meeting in New York City. I’m already dreading packing for all the business meetings and networking events!
Will you be travelling anywhere before the end of the year?
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that life has been stressful lately. Work always has its ups and downs, but my son has been having health issues and my daughter has been having heartache issues, and I can’t “fix” things for either of them.
How is your family doing?
If we were having coffee, I would remind you that my birthday is in November. 😀 As usual, I am having a hard time thinking of anything fun I want for a birthday present, but I am eyeing the Garmin VivoSmart personal activity tracker. (Do you need my address, Garmin?)
Are there any cool fitness gadgets you think I should check out?
If we were having coffee, I would remind you that we change our clocks back an hour tonight. I’ll be glad for the extra light in the morning, but it will be so depressing getting home after dark this week!
Do you like it when we “fall back”?

Thanks again for stopping by!
What a neat idea, I am drinking my first cup of coffee for the day…how do I participate in this link up??

Jen, I will email you. 😉
Hi happy early birthday friend! hope your son is feeling better. I’m off to LA this week for a few days I hope. Looks like the coffee date link up I usually do is no longer going. If you want to do one together that might be fun?!
Have a good trip! Yes, let’s start a link up. Let me see if I can figure it out now.
I completely forgot about Daylight Savings Time until earlier today and I am so looking forward to an extra hour of sleep tonight and for it to be brighter out for my early morning runs!
Thanks for the link up!
Glad to hear you’re on your last business trip – seems like you’ve been traveling a lot! Hope your son’s feeling better soon – it’s always hard when our kids are hurting.
Thanks for keeping the coffee link-up going! This is one of my favorite posts so if you and Deborah are looking for a 3rd host I’d love to help 🙂
Awesome! We’ll get it going strong again for December. 😉
Good Morning! Thank You for Posting a coffee link! I was looking for it this morning and didn’t see it on Jill’s site and was kind of disappointment. On the issue of Fall back…I hate short days, it’s so weird that it’s dark around 5pm where I live. It just makes the days fly by so fast! It really doesn’t affect me as much as time to wake up because, I wake up whenever I feel like it, usually too early before my alarm was ever set to go off!
I am going to Phoenix in December for the Hot Chocolate 15K. I haven’t been out there before so I am looking forward to it! Good luck with all the traveling! WE fall back too- I think it is weird- just wish the time could stay as is 🙂 Enjoy the weekend!
That would be so hard to not be able to fix your kids problems- I’m not ready for that stage of life. 🙁 Hope the trip goes smoothly!
That is quite a trip you have coming up – I hope it goes well for you!
Sorry that both of your kids are struggling with things – I know it is hard as a mom to not be able to take away the pain (physical and emotional).
Falling back just means that my kids get up an hour earlier…ughh.
Ugh, I hate the time change! With kids it sucks–they don’t get the memo that they can sleep in!
Hello! So glad that you started a virtual coffee date! I was checking Jill & Lynda’s blogs today and was kinda sad that they were gone! :[ Hope you don’t mind that I’m jumping on board as well! Would love to host it with you and Deborah if you ladies don’t mind! :]
Sending good thoughts your way for your trips and for your kids! I hope the stress winds down after a bit, and happy early birthday! ;P I hope you get that Garmin!
Thank you for the reminder on the time change! ;] I completely forgot that we gain an extra hour! So glad I’m not working tonight, or I’d just be getting another hour of work, haha. 😛
