Welcome to April’s Ultimate Coffee Date! While I’d very much love for our country to not be a international embarrassment on the daily, this is apparently too much to ask for, so I’m going to try to focus on happier things.
Ultimate Coffee Date: April 2025
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I ate at IKEA for the first time earlier this month! I’m back to working on redecorating my home office/hobby room so I needed to get another pegboard + some accessories.
Muffin is slowly putting weight back on! She’s at about 4.7 lb right now, which I realize is still tiny, but given that she was at 3.8 last month, this is progress! <3
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I feel like I talk about starting/restarting a new hobby every month, but I’m just gonna go with it — this month’s is salsa dancing!
This all started last month when I was going to go with a friend, but mistakenly thought we were going to a studio rather than a club and did not bring my ID. Since the club had a bar, they didn’t let me in. (“If you looked at least a little older, we could probably make an exception, but you really don’t… I’m really sorry.”) I decided to take that as a compliment, haha.
I last stepped foot here back in 2011! :o
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…spring is upon us! I’ve been inspired by all the blooming flowers lately so I finally found some time to weed the front yard + planted a bunch of multicolored poppies! The optimal time was back in the fall, I guess, but we’ll see if anything decides to sprout. (I’ve had a lot more success with my houseplants than anything outdoors, but fingers crossed!)
This was at one of the plant nurseries we went to. If the flowers sprout, I wanna get some cute mushrooms to hang out with the flowers, hehe.
Wisteria blooming! <3
At some point, I hope to tackle the backyard. My dream is to have a bunch of fruit trees in the back (avocados, figs, persimmons, and citrus would be coo!), but I definitely have a lotttt to learn before that can become a reality.
See past ultimate coffee dates here!

- Do you have a garden? Team green thumbs or black thumbs? (I like to think I’m a greener thumb than I used to be now… At the very least, I’m good at keeping inchplants alive!)
- Come back on Monday for this month’s My Month Is Booked! :]

Er, I guess I would have to put myself on team black thumb. I’ve had gardens and houseplants in the past, but it didn’t end well. That photo from the nursery is very cute though- you should definitely get some of those mushrooms!
Your cat Muffin and mine are very different. Let’s just say that we’re not trying to get our Muffin to GAIN any weight. Your Muffin is so cute though- I love the fluffiness!
Hey, enjoy still being cared! That does not last forever. I had no idea that IKEA had restaurants-interesting
The wonderful thing about gardening is that you can keep adding/moving plants as your vision for the space changes. I love adding little whimsical things to my gardens. I have little hummingbird stakes that I just love. I’m mostly a green thumb both with houseplants and outside plants.
It would have been funny if the person who turned you away at the club for looking too young came into your office as a patient the following day.
I had a small raised garden at my other house…I called it my salsa garden because it was mainly tomatoes and peppers. I love flowers and am hoping to get some landscaping started this summer at my new place. Like Deb said, it’s fun to keep adding and modifying as your vision evolves ;-)
