If we were on a coffee date, we’d be sitting inside the coffee shop in a cozy little booth. We’d talk about how we shouldn’t have to sit inside during April and how we would much prefer chilly spring weather. We’d shake our heads and I’d definitely complain about two snowfalls already in April.
If we were on a coffee date, I’d ask what you did for Easter. After staying in town for Easter last year, we decided to go to St. Louis this year. We kept it pretty low-key and didn’t make plans other than church on Saturday evening and brunch with my family on Sunday. Just as well because they ended up calling for snow, so we high-tailed it back home. Kevin and I ended up doing a little spring cleaning while it snowed which ended up being a great way to wrap up the weekend.
If we were on a coffee date, we’d talk about Instagram and I’d drudge some of my old photos. For some reason I scrolled all the way back to the beginning of my instagram feed and I felt two things: 1) completely embarrassed at what I posted and 2) a very strong urge to delete all my social media and crawl into a hole. I feel similarly about old blog posts that are floating around on the world wide web. This is my 3rd blog in 8 years (no, I’m not sharing links…HA!) and going back to those old ones makes me cringe. What’s worse is at the time I was really proud of it…am I going to feel that way about this blog in 10 years’ time?
If we were on a coffee date, I’d have to follow up the previous conversation with one about other ways we keep our memories. In addition to the internet, I pretty much keep every paper I’ve ever written on and every photo ever printed by me or for me. Each time I go home, I spend time looking at photo albums kept by my parents and grandparents. I absolutely love photos and stories and I want to be the owner of mine. I currently keep journals and scrapbooks but have started feeling the overwhelm of too much stuff and expectations on what I should be documenting.
If we were on a coffee date, we’d have to talk about all kinds of sports. My beloved Blues didn’t make it to the playoffs, Cardinals aren’t really off to a great start, and MPJ is going to the draft. I was hoping for a Rickie Fowler win at the Masters and he came in second place. I guess you could say that it’s not really the sports year I’m always hoping for. Kevin has been getting more into eSports, so we’ve been cheering on the Overwatch League as well. We don’t necessarily have a home team yet, so we’re just rooting for eSports in general.
What would you tell me if we were on a coffee date?
