Would you rather eat cold brew ice-pops or a mocha milkshake? **A mocha milkshake sounds tasty.
Would you rather use coffee grounds as an exfoliant or as a skin cream? **Coffee grounds as an exfoliant is an actual thing, but I don’t know about cream. I would pick the exfoliant.
If we were having coffee, I would share the link to my 50-Before-50 post from last week. I first shared this bucket list when I was thirty-seven. One point on the list was to share it again at forty-five, so it went up last weekend. My birthday and Thanksgiving were wonderful.
If we were having coffee, I would share that my book signing event is tomorrow (Saturday). I will let you know how it goes when we have our next coffee date.
If we were having coffee, I would share writing, reading, and puzzle updates. I am planning a read-through of my non-fiction manuscript and then a listening read-through. I am currently reading Death by Café Mocha. And I’m working on a glitter puzzle.

If we were having coffee, I would remind you there is no coffee linkup this week or next. Please leave the link to your weekend coffee share post in the comment section and I will visit over the weekend.
Here is the coffee pot. Please tell me, how was your week?

Hi Shari
I hope all is well in your world!
I just went looking for the weekend coffee share, and realized that there won’t be one until November 1… I’m so out of the loop!
But I wanted to invite you to our blogging challenge in case you might be interested in it. You can read about it here. ….💜

I guess I missed that the 50-Before-50 post meant it was your birthday. Belated happy birthday! My wife and my sister both had birthdays on the 15th. I hope the book signing goes well!
Have a wonderful week 🙂

I’m so behind on *everything*. I feel like every time I make good progress in one area, everything else piles up behind me. Hopefully this is the busiest I’ll ever be again. (I feel like I’ve said that before and it’s never been true, but this time, it might be. I’m starting to learn to say no to things, and I am almost done with my program.) But things are good, overall. When my worst problems are that I’m doing work I enjoy, it’s just taking longer than I would like it to…those aren’t the worst problems to have.

Being busy is good, but downtime is important for self-care. Saying no, is okay, too. With your program winding down, that should free up some time. With you being so busy, thank you for taking a minute to stop in. Hope you are having a nice week, Jayden.
