Welcome to the August’s Ultimate Coffee Date of the year! If all has gone well, I should be on a liveaboard in Australia right now diving!
Ultimate Coffee Date: August 2024
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I’ve been super lagging on planning/packing for vacations this year, but I think everything’s been figured out at this point! (One would hope…) We’ll be out for 3 weeks and took a super budget flight so each person’s combined luggage could not weigh more than 7kg total. (Many sacrifices had to be made, haha.)
This is my first time being off work for more than 2 days since our Vietnam trip last May, so to say I’ve been looking forward to it would be an understatement! I’ll be posting updates on IG when I can, so stop by there! :]
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I went camping in Olympic National Park earlier last month!
It’s one of my favorite national parks + was a reunion of sorts with the friends I made on my Death Valley trip a couple years ago. :]
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…Muffin grew another weird little lump on her neck. (Truth be told, it’s been there since we were back in New Jersey and the vet then wasn’t concerned either, but it started getting bigger + then bleeding, so they excised it a couple weeks ago. The biopsy was negative, thankfully!
If we were having coffee/tea today, I’d tell you that…I discovered the joy (and danger?) that is Facebook Marketplace last month. Although I failed miserably at the One Room Challenge (sigh), I am still actively trying to revamp my room.
I scored a super cute secretary desk for $25! :] I’m also searching for an armchair so I can make a cozy lil reading corner in my room! No luck on that one yet, so I’ll try again when I return!

End-of-Month Recap
- Come back on Monday and join me for August’s My Month Is Booked linkup! :]
- Are you a super-minimalist packer or do you usually check your luggage/pay for more weight allowance?
- Did you watch the Olympics this year?! The only sport I follow is gymnastics, but <3 <3 <3! (Sidenote, I wrote this on 7/30 and they just won Team Gold, so I can’t comment on the “future” but I have high hopes because they’re amazing and deserve it!)
- Have you ever purchased anything from facebook marketplace?

Love these photos! Muffin is so beautiful! I’m sure she will miss you!
Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Ahh, I forgot to send you photos! Will be sending some over shortly … :D
Have fun on your trip! Where will you be going? Poor Muffin.
We went to Australia, Tonga, and New Zealand!! <3
I’m a carry-on only traveler, but I can fit a lot in my carry-on. But if you’re traveling for hiking/camping that’s harder — and I haven’t traveled that light for skiing. ;-)
Glad muffin is OK. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve been reading.
hehe, totally understandable! I took Southwest for the most recent out-of-state camping trip and the free checked luggage thing definitely came in clutch!!
Off to write tomorrow’s post, hehehe..
My mother loves Marketplace. I don’t have the patience for it. Your secretary is cute, though.
I have been enjoying the Olympics. I think the athletes have a lot of sass this year and I love to see their personalities shine through.
Have so much fun, and I hope Muffin is doing well.
It definitely requires a hell of a lot of patience, haha. :[ One day though, I still hope to acquire some version of that reading chair I’m after! :P
Same here! This was a great year to watch. :D
Thanks so much! Her fluff is slowly growing back. <3
