Midweek Coffee and Books

Happy Middle of The Week, also known as Hump Day or even better known as Wednesday haha.

As you can tell I am mowing through my cup of coffee right now like a BOSS!!

Okay so I know it is a holiday weekend coming up and everyone is ready for some days off. I seriously can not wait to have two days off in a row. I will be off on Sunday and Monday next week, SAY WHAT!!! And then I'll have off on Wednesday, which I will be doing a blogging event with Dunkin Donuts, which I seriously hope it involves tasting this...



Hello Almond Joy!!! I love anything chocolate and coconut and to drink it, well heck yeah.

Okay so it is Wednesday and I am feeling the positive train this morning. Sure, I slept in a bit, I hit snooze a million times this morning. I have not been great at getting my run in the morning, BUT I am getting it done at night after work. I have been doing AMAZING with my Run Streak, but that post will be the end of the week.

I wanted to pop in really quickly and share some positive and a book I just finished. I actually read it in 24 hours because it was that good.

Not sure if you are familiar with The Bobby Bones Show on the radio. I was introduced to them one morning during my morning commute to work. I accidentally turned to the country radio station and was a little iffy with it at first, I mean the one persons name is Lunchbox. But I kept going back to the station because I enjoyed the dynamic. Then one day I caught them talking about Bobby and his mom, who died of alcoholism. I was instantly hooked. He was honest and open about  his feelings and ever since then I knew this was going to be my morning commute radio station from here on out.

The more I listened the more I enjoyed everything about it and I follow the whole crew on social media because they are fun and their positive outlook on life is great. Surround and follow those around you who bring positive notes to your life. And that is exactly what they do for my mornings

I have even download iheartradio so I can listen in the mornings I have stuff going on. And I recently bought his book...



I absolutely loved this book. I wasn't sure I was going to like it or not, being I haven't been a listener of the show for long and knew really nothing about Bobby Bones. But I was pretty excited to get my hands on this. It was funny and heartwarming, real, and honest. I was surprised I loved this book so much. His story is amazing and his mentality of Fight.Grind.Repeat is amazing. He never gives up and is constantly moving and hustling with in his life.

With his story of his mom and growing up and his mom dying of alcoholism really touched my heart, mainly because it was very similar to my life with my dad, right to the time frame when he found out his mom had passed away.

If you want to read this book and feel motivated and inspired and just even laugh a little, go out and download it or buy it. I recommend it!!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
