Hello March!
(And February..don’t let the door hit you on the way out!)
Can you tell I’m ready for a new month? 😉 And, since it’s the first Friday of the month what better way to start March than with a little catch up over coffee. So grab a mug of your favorite hot beverage and let’s join Coco and Deborah for this month’s coffee date.
If we were having coffee, I would have to briefly whine … er, mention the weather. While we flirted with a couple of mild days in February, there was also a fair amount of ice and some really brutal winds. The weather whiplash definitely had me running indoors far more than I would like. And, given this weekend’s forecast, it looks like March will be coming in like a lion…we can only hope the rest of the saying holds up!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that we finally booked our vacation. We poured over lots of options and even hit a travel expo trying to settle on a plan. I’m happy to say we’ll be cruising again for spring break! We took a cruise a few years ago and absolutely loved it so I can’t wait to get on board!
Looking forward to calling this home for a week!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that this vacation is coming at a perfect time. I feel like things have been crazy busy on all fronts and I’m starting to feel just a little fried. Vacation will be the perfect pause button.
If we were having coffee, I’d ask if you have any good book suggestions? I’m looking for a few titles to load on my Kindle – good pool-side reads…and dare I say it, perhaps something non-running related. While I’d like to do more reading this year I will admit I have yet to pick up a book.
So what would you tell me? Any vacation plans? Ever tried cruising?
I hate this weather. Lucky you to be cruising.
I went to Florida in Feb so no big travel plans until May but I do have 2 weekends planned in NYC – for races, of course.
If only I could cure my calf pain.

I’m so over this winter!
Hope your calf feels better soon!
We go on lots of cruises and they are super relaxing. I think you will be able to have lots of coffee and margaritas. Enjoy!

I love cruises because there is really something for everyone – easy to please the whole family!
If you like non-fiction books I’ve recently listened to some great ones. (I tend to go for audio books over physical books)
The One Thing
The Will Power Instinct
The Chimp Paradox

Thanks for the suggestions!
I NEED vacation plans. I keep having a long work trip rescheudled and I am over all the juggling and re-juggling. We did a cruise once. It was fine but not our favorite — I couldn’t deal with being below deck if we were moving – I was fine if I could be or see outside, but couldn’t enjoy any of the evening activities.

I hope you can get your work schedule settled and get something booked. Any idea where you want to go?
I’m also totally fried and I am SO glad February is behind us. Phew!!
You and me both!
Woohoo! So happy that you booked a cruise vacation. I absolutely love cruises and I have a craving to take one again. I’m hoping I can do one this summer.

I cannot wait! Hope you can do one this summer!
I had a few book suggestions on my blog–are you on Goodreads? So many books, so little time, but at least the app will help you find something.
A cruise sounds heavenly. I go to Florida in 10 days and I can’t wait.

I need to check out your latest book reviews. Thanks for the Goodreads suggestion!
I totally laughed out loud at your “don’t let the door hit you” remark about February. Such a short month, but so evil in terms of the cold, wind, snow, ice…and did I mention snow? We’re headed to Florida in a month, and I’, ready for some above freezing temps.

It was an evil month! Crazy when anything above freezing sounds good, isn’t?!?
I am so over winter! The cruise sounds like a wonderful way to escape winter for a bit!!

i really feel so bad for you guys and your crazy weather. I’d be going absolute bonkers by now. Glad you have a vacation planned that will at least get you away from it all for a bit! My parents cruise all the time – they are seriously addicted to it and it makes it so easy to go so many places all over the world!
I’m the worst reader so unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations for you!
We are heading to Malaga again in May (parents will be there) for a long weekend and then Liverpool for RnR weekend. We’ve got Helsinki now on tap for August and Chicago of course in October. I am kicking around a few ideas for a July break but also for another possible marathon weekend in a surprise european city in November (I tried to leave hints about it but no one bit and only one person made a guess…). July and November and just “want to haves’ – we need to be sure the budget fits it all and Chicago is the priority.

Yay for March! Your cruise vacay sounds like so much fun, I haven’t been on a cruise in years! If you’re looking for a fun read I really loved the audiobooks by Tiffany Haddish and Retta!

Yes, so over the crummy cold weather. It can change anytime now! A cruise! How fun. We went on one once and it was great! Can’t wait to hear about it!
