February is in full swing! Apparently the groundhog saw his shadow a few days ago…oh well!
Since it’s the first Saturday of the month, I’m joining Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date! While this is a running blog, sometimes it’s refreshing to just talk about everyday life!

Ultimate Coffee Date – Let’s Catch Up!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that if you are a blogger, I’d love you to join in my new linkup, Tunes Tuesday! Steff, Kim, and I are really excited about it, but to be honest, it’s been pretty lonely so far! We appreciate everyone has joined us at this point, but it’s taking some time to gain traction. Every week we have a theme of the type of music we share. We want to see what people are listening to and get to know each other a little bit better!
We would love for you to join us on any Tuesday to see how you like it! I can say it has really challenged me to be creative with how I share “new” music each week!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that there are so many great shows on right now! We already have plenty of channels to choose from on cable, but now we also have Netflix which has added even more options. What shows are you enjoying lately? We’ve been watching Homeland, It’s Always Sunny, and The Mick together. I’m still obsessed with General Hospital and have surprisingly been enjoying most of the stories right now.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you….that living with the kittens has been quite an adventure! They are such well-behaved kitties, though they do have a very mischievous side as well! It’s been great to have cats that are happy to see you when you come home, that love to lay in your lap. Whenever I have a tough day, it’s all turned around when I watch the Rocket jumping in a box or Rosie stealing a drink from my cup of water. We’ve been having a lot of fun!
Rocket and Rosie…always up to something!If we were having coffee, I would tell you….that I bought an iMac and I’m LOVING it! I was really struggling to blog with my Samsung Chromebook for the past couple of years and the simplest tasks always took me so much time because my laptop was sooo slow! It was REALLY stressful. Now that I have the iMac, it’s amazing me to see how much I can get done in a few minutes’ time. And my home office has really come together and feels like a real workspace! I’m still getting adjusted in some minor ways but overall I’m so happy! With blogging, productivity is everything!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you….Bret and I are approaching our 5 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed but I’m so grateful for what we have built together. I’m a lucky gal. While our anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks, we’re going on vacation in New Orleans in March! We’ve been there before but never together so I know we will have a lot of fun! If you know any great attractions, running trails, or to-die-for restaurants that you recommend, please let me know!
What would you share with me over coffee?
Oooh . . . when in March will you be in NOLA? I’ll be there too (at the end of the month). Although I totally get if you just want together time too.
Kittens are the best . . . although having an older cat who sleeps for most of the day has its advantages, too, LOL!
And Homeland on Netflix? It’s not part of Showtime or HBO, right? Cause I’m totally all over that if that’s the case! I’ve been wanting to watch that forever & love Clare Danes.
I love the idea of your Tunes Tuesday link up, but I haven’t taken the time to make a Playlist for YEARS. Congrats on your almost anniversary – you are a cute couple!
Happy anniversary! Your NOLA getaway sounds like fun!
Please post pics of your home office – my project stalled and I need to get back on it…but I need ideas!
Those kittens of yours are so cute…and I love their names 🙂
5 years – that’s definitely something to celebrate. Happy Anniversary! To many more in the years to come. I’ve been wanting to join the Tuesday Tunes link up and may be, add in some Bollywood tunes too 🙂
Thanks a lot, Madhuri! I hope you join us for Tunes Tuesday, I’d love to learn about some Bollywood music! 🙂
I have thought about your Tuesday link-up, but I don’t rotate out my music very often, so I don’t think I’d have anything to contribute LOL I have read some of the posts, though. Congrats on 5 years!!
Don’t feel that way! I’d be curious to know what type of music you like. Drop by any time 🙂 Oh and thanks!
Congrats on your big anniversary! You guys are so adorable 🙂 I absolutely love my Mac Mini. I bought it 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Also, I’m loving The Mick as well. I just started watching it about 2 weeks ago.
Aw, thanks a lot, Jen! I hope to have my computer for a very long time! I’m a little behind on The Mick but I think it’s a really fun, offbeat show.
Happy Anniversary! I hope you get to take in the culture and music that makes NOLA Great!
I really enjoy your Tunes Tuesdays LinkUp – I really gives me some great new artists to check out.
Thanks, Jennifer! And I’m glad you like Tunes Tuesday, maybe my trip to NOLA will inspire some new music 🙂
I love my MacBook and my iMac! We’ve always had Mac computers–my first one was a MacPlus that I bought in 1988. I wish I still had it because they are worth quite a bit of $$ now.
We’re currently enjoying Shameless on Netflix. The title says it all. I also like that it takes place in Chicago–it’s kind of fun to see all the local stuff.
I never thought I’d be team Mac but I’m gradually getting there…I also have an iPhone for work that I’m struggling to get used to lol.
I’ve heard good things about Shameless! I’ll need to add it to the long list of shows to watch. It is fun watching It’s Always Sunny…in a recent episode one of the characters was wearing a shirt to one of my favorite breweries and I got excited lol!
Happy Anniversary!!! Enjoy your trip together! And the kittens are so cute! Having a baby anything is a lot of work. They are so worth it but it is a lot of work!
Thanks, Missy! They can be a little tough sometimes but overall they are such good kitties!
Aww, the kitties are adorable! :] My cat does have her crazy days but I love having her to come home to after work! <3 She loves to investigate each and every thing that I ingest, haha.
Congrats on your upcoming 5-year anniversary! :]! Hope you two have a ton of fun in New Orleans! I've never been there but I've heard it's a super fun place to visit!
Thanks, Farrah! I’m excited to see what fun we can get into in New Orleans. And yes, the cats sure do love to investigate…it’s fun to watch!
Congrats on 5 years!!! Sweet picture! My hubby and I are going for a long weekend in New Orleans in March 🙂 It is a great city to eat your way thru!
Thanks, Mary Beth! Hope you guys have fun in NOLA too. I can’t wait to eat everything!!
