Lots of Rambling in Today’s Coffee Talk

Happy Wednesday, y’all!  I don’t have a great blog post planned for today because I’ve been sucked into watching Schitt’s Creek on Netflix 🙈  If you haven’t seen it, it’s hilarious and addicting….and wasting so much of my life ha!

So today I’m going to do a brain dump because right now, I have about 5 million things on my mind currently!
-Sunday was FREEZING and I realized that I don’t have any warm nice clothes for church.  I wore the chunkiest scarf I own so that meant I had to wear my hair straight for church.  But because it really hasn’t been super cold here for an extended amount of time, I’ll just keep putting off buying warm clothes ha!

-Dustin got me this Nespresso for Christmas, so I’ve worked really hard perfecting my lattes so they taste somewhat similar to Starbucks’s.  I’m getting closer 😂

-Speaking of coffee, I’m about to start having to drink a cup in the afternoon/evening!  I get so sleepy starting around 7:30-8pm and night and that cannot happen for me–especially when baby gets here and I know I will be surviving on little sleep.

-I really need new luggage.  My luggage set was from graduation and it’s hot pink with white polka dots….definitely screams 18 year old haha!  The handle on my large suitcase is broken and the toiletries bag is broken.  Dustin and I found some at TJ Maxx on Monday but I just told him to wait.  Anyone else like that?  You need something but when it comes down to it, you just can’t bite the bullet?!  We need to go back this weekend because I can’t put it off much longer!

-I know I’ve said this 500 million times, but if you haven’t read Where the Crawdads Sing, YOU HAVE TO RIGHT NOW!!!  I’m going to be rereading it soon because I loved it that much.

-I’ve seen lots of talk on the internet about packing cubes.  Are they worth it?  We’ll be packing for a long stay, so if they make a huge difference then I’ll buy them.  Do they?

-I wrote on IG not too long ago about being so unmotivated lately to workout and that I wanted to find that motivation.  Well, I knew the answer was myself and my own self-discipline.  So I’ve been much better about saying I’m going to run on a certain day and then actually going and doing it.  I used to be so self-disciplined in my eating and exercising, and I’m working to get back to that person–slowly, but surely!

Okay, that’s enough of my rambling for today!  See y’all Friday!

Random Thoughts on a…..Wednesday!

I don’t really have a special blog post planned for today, so here’s a bunch of random thoughts for your Wednesday!


-I started reading Moms on Call to prep for baby and it’s made me a little bit nervous because there’s so much to remember.  I was telling Dustin some of the info and he said I needed to bookmark everything haha!  I’m interested to see how this will work for us since the first two weeks of our baby’s life will be spent in ICPC and not at home.


-I’ve had so many people comment on how soft my hair is and even ask to touch it!  I credit this spray for really helping turn my damaged hair into healthy hair.  I spray it on after I towel dry my hair and before I brush it.  I also spray pretty liberally–it doesn’t make my hair greasy.  Then I let it sit in my hair a little bit before I dry my hair.


-A little confession: I have been pretty unmotivated to workout the last few months.  I ended up canceling my gym membership in order to save a little bit of money for the adoption, but now I’m really wishing I didn’t.  Out of everything, I enjoy running the most but I can think of every excuse in the book:  it’s too cold, I’m tired after school, I hate all the hills in our neighborhood.


-I’m in the middle of reading Where the Crawdads Sing, and I think after that I’m going to read The Great Alone, which is the other book Dustin got me for Christmas.  He did so good this year getting me two books that I had mentioned wanting to read–I was so surprised!


-I talked last night on IG stories about being desperate for contacts.  I first got reading glasses in 3rd grade, but because I have a lazy eye and a stigmatism, my eyes have gotten much worse over the years.  Now I not only wear my glasses when I read, but also when my eyes are tired–basically all the time.  I can’t stand touching my eye or anyone else touching theirs, but I’m desperate!!  So many people responded and it looks like dailies might be the easiest since they are so thin?  I’m calling the eye doctor today during my planning period to make an appointment.

The Song That Plays When You Walk Into a Room

Have you ever thought about that?  What song would you want played walking into a room?

Well, for some reason I have thought about that and I can’t decide between two.  Both songs have great beats at the beginning that would allow me to make a great entrance 😜

“American Girl” by
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers



“Voodoo Child” by
Jimi Hendrix


Now it’s your turn!
Leave a comment telling me what song you would want to play as you walked into a room?!
