It’s a dreary, rainy afternoon here on my island in the hidden-for-today sun. A re-run of Sex In The City is on the TV which is almost on mute the volume is so low, because I like a little background noise while I brew. My small, open-concept kitchen and living area, smells deliciously like coffee, so come in and get comfortable.
If we were having coffee, it would be curled up on my sofa, my slippers would be off, legs tucked under me as we share about nothing and everything. My mood and relaxed dress code is a flashing neon sign that you’re probably gonna have to make the coffee for yourself today. But I can direct you so you can find everything you need just fine.
It’s been a tough week all around. Man, it’s been a tough April. I think I felt tired every day of April. I’m happy to see May, but that doesn’t mean dem problems disappear…sigh. I pretty much ate my weight in chocolate this last week. I mean seriously…why oh why does it have to be chocolate? Couldn’t broccoli or water be the feel-good-elixir? Nope. It’s chocolate! And if I’m being reeeeally honest (we are on the ‘sofa of truth’ after all) it’s chocolate, wine and freaking coffee with the whipped cream. This is why I have no thigh gap…and this week I gave zero fucks.
I wimped out on fitness training all week as well. Funny thing about chocolate and wine and freaking coffee with the whipped cream…it comes with a huge side of my-diet-is-shot-to-hell-anyway-so-I-might-as-well-LIVE-out-the-week-in-bliss-and-start-again-next-week. Sometimes, I feel like if we didn’t have Mondays I might not start or finish anything. #StruggleBus #GodBlessMondays
If we were having coffee, I’m already tired of talking…so tell me about your last week in April and your plans for the week and month ahead, as I take a sip and settle in for a good listen.
*****#WeekendCoffeeShare is an awesome link-up where coffee (or some other awesome beverage) is being shared over some great conversations.
#WeekendCoffeeShare originated at Part Time Monster:
I started the Weekend Coffee Share last year after lots of feedback and several months of writing posts that imagined a conversation with my blog readers that started with the “if we were having coffee” line. The coffee share runs on the weekends, and there aren’t a lot of rules—-posts just need to be formatted like a conversation over beverages (we’ve had tea-drinkers and cocktail-hours as well as coffee) AND be written within the past week (so you don’t need to publish on the weekend to join the link-up). The hashtag #weekendcoffeeshare is in use all weekend on Twitter and Facebook, and it is sometimes used a bit during the week as well. .~Part Time Monster

Chocolate, yummm. I love to eat candy bars. My favorite is Rocky Road because I like the chocolate and marshmallow. I always put cream in my coffee. I hate it when I go to a restaurant they all they have is those little half and half things. I just made nachos for dinner and now I think I will sit on the chair and close my eyes. I can’t move, I ate too much.
Yep, Mondays are for “reset” and “get your a** movin'” but chocolate and wine and coffee with whipped cream sound SO much better! Hope May shapes up and is kinder to you than April! Thanks for the chat.
Look around for May flowers. I find it had to realize it Mayalready. Time has one so fast.
Somehow clicking “LIKE” seems inappropriate when you have had a tough week. I wish you smiles (and slightly less chocolate) this week

Lol…yes most definitely less chocolate!
April was especially tough for me too. Sigh. It’s started off on a high point, then nosedived from there…esp around that time of month (TMI!). Energy was off on so many levels. Most of it was a blur of mostly demotivated unproductivity 🙁 Most ppl find this hard to believe so shhhh. lol I guess this is the price of creativity.
However the last few days of April were a vast improvement and well May started off on a great note so I’m back in my happy place once more YAY 🙂
I know this month will be just awesome for you too. There’s always a rainbow after the rain. You gotta believe in the dream girl. Do what makes your heart sing. Find that spot that takes you away from the mundane and rejuvenates your soul. Peace & Love

Glad to hear that you’re back in your happy place! Here’s to a fantastic May ahead.
Turkish coffee is great. A Russian friend of mine introduced me to it in University. Wow. Really good stuff.
Have you ever tried marshmallows or frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) in your coffee? Great combos.
That being said the frangelico is a great addition to Tiramisu.
If you ever decide to try these things, let me know what you think.
Hope May is getting better and better by the day.

Oh I have not tried frangelico but I definitely will! It sounds amazing with or without tiramisu! I will definitely let know when I try. Thanks for the suggestion Chantal!
