If we met for coffee, I’d order a refreshing iced coffee with milk for myself (what would you have to drink?), and we would claim a patio table outside the café so that we could enjoy the gorgeous sunshine and soft summer breeze while we chatted.
If we met for coffee, I’d mention how much I’ve been loving the weather of late, and how nice it is to be able to turn off the air conditioning and instead open the windows. So wonderful to be able to hear the birds (and we do have a LOT of birds around here!), not to mention feeling more a part of the neighbourhood goings-on rather than being locked up tight in the (albeit cool) house.
If we met for coffee, I’d share with you that Peter and I went out on a date night to one of our favourite sushi restaurants in Windsor and had another delicious meal – but were disappointed to find that they’d printed new menus and raised their prices since the last time we visited. I guess you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do to stay in business – but I despair of finding (and keeping!) a sushi restaurant that matches what we grew to know and love back in Victoria, both in quality and price. We were certainly spoiled in the land of seafood that is the West Coast!
If we met for coffee, I’d confess that I’ve found yet another challenge-type thing that I’m thinking of tackling. It’s called Listers Gotta List, and it appeals to me in all sorts of ways! I’ve always been a listmaker, and I’m interested in doing more with art journaling-type things, and of course I LOVE challenges – so I just might give it a try.
If we met for coffee, I’d tell you that (much to my utter shock and surprise) I’ve managed to get myself hooked on Game of Thrones. Peter has already watched most of the HBO series and read all the books through (twice!), but I’ve always claimed that the fantasy genre is not at all my thing. And it’s not – yet I’m now deep into reading the first book in the series and more than halfway through watching Season 2 on DVD. Yes, well and truly hooked! (Just goes to show, once again, that I should never say never!)
If we met for coffee, what would you tell me?
Please share!
If we met for coffee, I would order a latte, because I drink iced coffee too quickly causing me to feel the need to race around the cafe. I would tell you how much I enjoyed your blog. I would confess a love of deck sitting and magazine reading, my new favorite the British import RED. I would also, completely without shame, admit that I am totally stoked for Sharknado 3!!!

If we met for coffee, I would have an Iced Black Coffee; share my thoughts on blogging with you and definitely request you draw a tiny tangle so I can see how you make such magical designs!
Swap life stories too! I love to talk.

If we met for coffee I’d order the house brew with room from cream. Coffee doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be strong! Then I’d commiserate with you about your favorite sushi joint raising their prices and explain to you that sushi is really not all that hard to make at home.

I made sushi once, years ago, and it was so much fun! I always think food tastes better when someone else makes it for you, though. 😉

If we met for coffee, I might choose a coolatta or maybe iced tea instead! I might also mention the lovely weather and my mutual love of watching birds at our feeders. I would mention how much I love and appreciate my hubby for all the extra work he has done over the past 7 weeks while I’ve been recovering from surgery. I might also tell you about my K-Lee’s Kreations business and how much I enjoy adding imprinted photos to quilts, pillows, and bags.

Oh. I’d take black coffee mostly 🙂 I’m yet to get hooked to The Game of Thrones, though I have the books with me. Have to get back to reading. Been a while that I did.

I am too sceptic about the Game of Thrones with the same thoughts as you said.. Maybe I should give it a try. Meanwhile, Happy weekend.

It’s strange but yesterday I did meet a friend for coffee and she ordered a hot chocolate while I ordered my favourite Hazelnut Latte. She showed me pictures of her latest temple visit and I shared pictures of my grandchildren. We spoke of school friends and just felt happy being together once again.

Lovely!
If we met for coffee, I’d have a cinnamon latte and listen to you…then I’d tell you about the birds here too – such a variety. I’d talk about how Pablo (our boxer) has adjusted so well in our new home and got over his separation anxiety. Then I’d tell you how we had chicken at KFC and pigged out because we haven’t eaten chicken in 3 months because of an avian virus scare! Now I’d better stop before I bore you further! 🙂

If we met for coffee I would order a huge bottle of sparkling water. I would name all the plants on the patio, and then swoon at how beautiful the day was!! I would ask about every member of your family and then bore you to tears with stories about mine. Then as I was leaving i would give you the biggest hug and thank you for the most intriguing question from a blog ever!!

If we met for coffee, I would tell you that I enjoy GoT! I would tell you that these coffee posts are super fun and I am planning to do them but I feel is it too much personal and readers would get bored eventually? I would tell you that I can believe first half of the year is already over 🙂
What a great post Laurel! That food looks great! Birds and lovely weather, it feels you are on a vacation. 😉 Enjoy!

Oh I think I’d love to meet you for coffee and sit on the patio and watch the world go by – I quite dislike the ACed indoors. Ummm I’d ditch the healthier hot coffee and order a tall ice-creamy Frappe and spend a happy hour – or maybe more – listening to your restaurant stories and tell you mine too. Aw Laurel this makes me want to plan coffee date with friends. Thanks for a lovely lovely post.

Laurel,
If we met for coffee I would ask you what book you were reading. I always ask that question even when I am talking to someone that doesn’t read much. It is a great conversation starter!

It is indeed! I’m currently switching between reading “A Game of Thrones” and listening to the audiobook of “A Breath of Snow and Ashes” (Diana Gabaldon) while I’m drawing. Oh, and fitting in a chapter or two of “What You Can When You Can” whenever I have a few minutes!
