Happy 2015! What better way to start the year than having coffee with friends? Pour yourself a cup, pull up a chair, grab the badge and join us!
If we were having coffee, I would ask you how your holiday was. We had a pretty quiet Christmas, but it was nice all the same.
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you got any fitness-related gifts I might want to check out. As I shared in my Fitmas post, the only new running gear I got was the headlamp I bought for myself, but my husband gave me lots of new cycling outfits.
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you are making any New Year’s resolutions. I feel like a broken record needing to make the same changes at work that I resolved to make last year and the year before, but my perseverance should pay off eventually, right?
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you read about my Starbucks saga. Someone less addicted to Starbucks would have just stopped going back, but I guess I love their coffee more than I hated the hassle.
If we were having coffee, I would ask you what’s on your reading list. I read three very different books in December (Help, Thanks, Wow by Anne Lamott, The Girl With All The Gifts by M. R. Carey, and Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell) and am ready for something new.

I didn’t get any fitness related gear either, so sad 🙁
I have to say I got lucky this Christmas in the gear department – lots of Athleta 🙂 You always have such good book suggestions – which of your new reads would you recommend?
Eleanor & Park is a nice YA love story.
Your Starbucks saga made me laugh yes! I don’t really make resolutions but I do plan on making some clean eating nutritional tweaks this month. Too much dessert the past few weeks. Love our coffee dates!
No fitness related gifts this year… but that’s ok, I probably have too much anyway ! Thanks for the link up.
Yeah, I really have all I need and then some!
Thank you for the book ideas – I just finished Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects and really enjoyed it. But, now I need a new one.
I haven’t really made any resolutions – I hate that word. But, I have promised myself that my new fitness goal is to use the gym at my work at least once a week at lunch. A 30 minute workout on a day that I wouldn’t have worked out is the plan.
Sharp Objects was not my favorite of her books, but it wasn’t horrible. 😉 I found it incredibly hard to take a break for a midday workout at work — hopefully your office culture is one where people actually take lunch breaks!
Yes, I read about your Starbucks saga… fortunately, Starbucks just doesn’t cut it for me. Two books I recently read include, What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty and Twenty-Eight and A Half Wishes by Rose Gardener (#1 in her Mystery series). Thanks for hosting this link-up. I’m glad I stumbled upon it.
I just started What Alice Forgot this weekend! I’m glad you found us too – mark your calendar for our next coffee date the first Saturday of February!
I loved The Girl With All The Gifts! Have you read the Witches Trilogy by Deborah Harkness?
I have not seen those – I’ll check them out. Thanks for stopping by for coffee!
No fitness related gear for me this year. Guess they all know that my cupboards are overflowing 😉
Christmas felt a little quiet and different this year. I don’t know if it’s because of all the hoopla around my sister’s wedding a few weeks before. I didn’t really get any fitness related gifts, aside from the ones that I bought myself! I loved Eleanor and Park. I’m reading Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed right now and love it. Probably one of my favorite reads.
Oh, I’ve heard about that one. I will have to put it on my list. Happy New Year!
My family/friends and I kinda decided on not exchanging gifts this year because we’re all broke and I honestly couldn’t think of anything I needed (other than money to throw towards my student loans, but I wasn’t about to ask for that :O ).
I read Charlene Carr’s Where There is Life earlyearly this morning with the intention of just reading a couple chapters before bed, but ended up finishing the whole thing and having my heart break multiple times throughout. ;_;
I got a nice medal hanger for my wall and I love it! Santa did fill my stocking with gu and chews 🙂 I too need a good book to start let me know what you pick! Cheers to 2015 my friend!
I got the FitBit Charge and love it!!!
Oh, wow, I can’t wait to hear about it!
I did not get any fitness gear but wish I had as I am determined to lose weight this year. I also only read one book during December as I spent more time with my son. I hope to get back to reading this month and will check out the books you listed.
Well, it is a good time to check out sales and get something for yourself! 😉
I am currently finally reading Wild, love books.
I added my blog link to the link-up, then I started reading the other blogger’s posts. If you need to remove mine since I didn’t follow the format, please do. I love your format and should have paid more attention to it BEFORE posting my link! I am going to plan on participating next time. Again, sorry!
No worries! I think the format caught on because it’s easy. 😉 Thanks for joining the link-up, and we look forward to seeing you again in February!
If we were having coffee, I’d say that I’m reading Morrissey’s “Autobiography” and its scathing.. 🙂
