If We Were Having Coffee....

If we were having coffee I would probably insist on sitting outside. There's actually no probably about it. I would also have already insisted at meeting at some fun, local spot. Like, if we're having coffee this weekend, I'll insist you meet me at Swift + Finch (even if all the Berry kids judge us)

If we were having coffee I would be gushing about the book I just finished, Joy in The Morning because I didn't even realize that Betty Smith (author of my favorite book ever, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) had written more than one book. I'd gush on + on about how I have come to expect stories to not have a happy ending because life hasn't lately. I would also demand ask for new book suggestions...

If we were having coffee I would immediately apologize for the whole "life hasn't had happy endings lately" because I don't want you to think that I'm too sad or not as fun as normal. Then I would probably apologize for apologizing, and try to justify the whole thing with "the right stuff is just around the corner, I know it." Then I would insist on you telling me all of the fantastic things in your life. 

If we were having coffee I would tell you how I've started this bullet journal process because of Nina saying she read about Amber having such success with it. I might only be on day two, but I feel substantially more organized already. Plus, it lets me use the adorable journal Meagan sent me for the journal swap! 

If we were having coffee I would want to talk about literally anything except wedding season. Like how I have had it up to here with Bloglovin, or how I'm now stressed out about having multiple interviews rather than never hearing anything. I would probably want to whine about moving a little more. I promise I won't do it anymore after next weekend, at least until I have to move again. 

If we were having coffee I would probably make you listen to a bunch of new music too. Like this one by Dwight Yoakam. Then I would probably jump up and go "OH it's time for lunch! Let's find something with a patio + acceptable lunch sangria!"

What would you tell me if we were having coffee? Any book suggestions? Have you read Joy In The Morning? How are you doing?  Have you tried the bullet journal system?
