If We Were Having Coffee...

This is a blog post that I've seen from other bloggers (East&, The Perpetual Pageturner, Books and Whimsy) and adored it so much that OBVI I had to fill in the blanks myself.

If we were having coffee, we'd to meet me at Dominican Joe in Austin, my favorite place to people-watch, study, read, and have long conversations about big dreams. We'd order iced chai tea lattes and sit out on the patio enjoying the breeze while Maggie walked around providing pet therapy to anyone eager to meet her.

If we were having coffee, I'd tell you how excited I am about the new things starting up in my life, like my social media marketing internship, being a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding this weekend, and seeing Britney Spears in Vegas this August. I'd also divulge that I haven't unpacked a single thing since my move to the Big D from ATX.

If we were having coffee, I'd ask you about your latest read and share what I'm juggling at the moment -- On Writing by Stephen King, 20-Something, 20-Everything by Christine Hassler, Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, East of Eden by John Steinbeck, and The MOST of Nora Ephron.

If we were having coffee, I'd tell you how lately I haven't been able to sleep well through the night because of all my ideas for blog posts and all the stories and funny anecdotes I'm dying to share. So I get online and start a draft when an idea pops in my head and spring bullet points together in the body until I weave it together with my magnificent prose.

If we were having coffee, someone would ask, "Who is the owner of this dog?" because Maggie's meandered over toward the patio exit to greet people biking in. I'd just lure her back over to our table with her toy duck and a treat.

If we were having coffee, I'd tell you... we've been chatting for hours, so we should probably take this to Snackbar for a bite and a decent cocktail to continue talking about our big plans, predicting what will happen next season on 'Scandal,' and bond over our obsession of 'The Mindy Project.'
