If we were “having” coffee #12 🍂

Hi everyone! It’s time for another one of our chats!! I’m super pumped for it and I’ve never  said that before but it felt like the best way to explain how I’m feeling right now 😅🤣. My sister got me into decaff Caramel Lattes which don’t give me migraines so like in our last chat, I’ll be joining you with actual coffee again this time! Whoop whoop we’re going crazy here 😂. I’ve got a lot to tell you today and a lot to ask you about so get ready coz this is about to get heavy! Imma jump right on in. So, we’re sat outside with the sun shining down like it is where I am at home in Ireland right now and we’re “having” coffee (you can have anything you like, hence the quotation marks) and I would tell you that…..

A poem I wrote is being published in an anthology! It goes on presale tomorrow but I won’t share it here as it has my full name on it. I’ve known about it for a while now as of course they had to let me know. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here already but now I have!

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you how you’re doing and if anything exciting has happened recently? I should have asked that first but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles! (Damn it I’d love a cookie right now 🤤).

If we were “having” coffee I would mention how it was my sisters birthday on the 4th of September and that I started learning how to crochet and made her a grey and white heart garland. She loved it and I really enjoyed making it in secret, knowing that she thought I was yet to start learning how to crochet after I’d bought loads of kits 🤣. I kept the pretence up and snuck up to my room every day to make more of the garland and it turned out well. I’ll show you a pic of it!

If we were “having” coffee I’d tell you that I had a starbucks iced pumpkin spiced chai latte (you know Chai Lattes are my jam!) to welcome in the season but it was way too sweet. I then tried an Insomnia decaff pumpkin pie latte and it didn’t really taste of anything so imma just stick to my normals for now. I make myself iced chai’s at home and when I go out I copy my sister and get decaff Caramel Lattes. There’s this place called Noush that I got one from today and the lady accidentally gave me three pumps of Caramel and I was in heaven 🤣 they ask if you want two but I think I’ll try see if they give me three from now on! 🙌

If we were “having” coffee I’d ask you two things that I really wanna know, firstly can you crochet? And secondly, do you like seasonal themed drinks? I was disappointed by both pumpkin drinks but I love at Christmas when Starbucks do toffee nut (this emoji just came up when I typed in nut 🤪..🤣).

If we were “having” coffee I would tell you that I finished watching Geek Girl on Netflix! I really enjoyed it, I’ll go more into it on a what I’ve been watching post soon so stay tuned! My sister got me into Dead To Me so I’m watching that now! I’m very early on in it so no spoilers please but that first episode ending had me like WHATTT???

If we were “having” coffee I would ramble on about how my sis and I are watching the latest season of Love Island USA and we are hooked! (Can you tell I love my sister? 🤣). We just finished watching Love Island All Stars and Married At First Sight Australia season 4 (we were working our way backwards and that’s the last season available to us 😢) and I’m missing MAFS so bad right now but I’ll survive 🤣. Are you watching anything that you’re hooked on??

If we were “having” coffee I’d have to bring up my last post where I ranted about not being able to get into Happy Place by Emily Henry. Well…..I finished it! The ending was pleasent but it’s not something I would rate. A nice surprise is that me and another blogger are swapping reads as they didn’t enjoy Book Lovers by Emily Henry so imma read that and they are going to read Happy Place and we’ll see if we prefer them. It’s really early days but I’m liking Book Lovers already (knock on wood that it stays that way, I’ve got a habit of jinxing things!).

If we were “having” coffee I would have to say a huge thank you to everyone that wished me good luck with my marketing exam here!! I’ll check now if I passed (last time I checked was last Friday), they said it would take 2-3 weeks to know and its been three weeks as of tomorrow at the time of typing this but then I remember also seeing something about it being 6 weeks in some circumstances so let me go and ill come right back to you!……I just went inside and checked as I’m sat in the garden + needed my password and I’ve not been graded yet! This things really testing my patience 🤣. I hope I pass, I’m really in two minds about whether or not I will. I mean I think I did okay but I can’t help but go over my assignments in my head that go towards the grade and have a little doubt. I put a lot into them but I guess all I can do is wait and see!

If we were “having” coffee I would say that tomorrow I have an appointment that I’m really nervous about. I won’t go into detail but it’s just something that has taken up space in my head and I’m so anxious about it as it dredges up the past and the breakdown I had (okay so I went into a little bit of detail there 🙄😂). My sister has said she’ll take me to the beach afterwards tho so it’s really nice to have something to look forward to!! It goes a long way in getting through this.

If we were “having” coffee I would shut up and let you have full reign over what you want to talk about! What are you up to and what are you looking forward to?

I think this was the most fun I’ve had with one of our coffee chats!! Seriously, it felt good to just get some things off of my chest, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they were.

I’ve got to go now but feel free to head on over to the comments and answer some of or all of the questions, that would make my day or week! To be honest 🤣.

I’ll see you again next Friday but until then I hope you have a really good week and that you take it easy (I heard that song today so it’s running riot in my head 😂). Buh-bye! 💗
