Coffee Talk - Week 2

Coffee Talk with Natalie Blair!

1. What is your favorite kind of coffee? Iced? Hot? Frappe? Or are you a tea kind of person? 

I am definitely a cappuccino kind of girl with 2% milk and one shot of espresso!  I can be super picky because I work at a coffee company and have been trained to froth milk properly to make capps. It's quite glorious for the coffee lover that I am. 

 

As for tea, I love tea too!  Green tea is the first thing to hit my lips in the morning aside from a kiss and it's definitely my go to drink when I am cold, sick or just in a hunker down and read a book kind of mood...which is often these days.

 

2. What is your dream computer/laptop? And what kind are you using now?

Macbook I guess...really any computer that is portable, has a ton of memory and allows me to edit pictures without freezing up on me.... Oh and is FREE!  In my dreams!  I'm not too picky.  Right now, I have a Toshiba Satellite and I love her!  She got me through graduate school, many moves and travels and is still going strong.  I'd like a bit more memory, but an external hard drive gets the job done!

 

3. Have you ever regretted a blog post? What did you say?

Not yet, but I'm sure I will in the future.  I've only recently started to get a bit more brutally honest and opinionated about certain aspects of life.  Some call it jaded, I call it being more comfortable with my views and accepting that I am not perfect and neither is anyone else.  It's what makes us unique and this world interesting.  

 

4. What is your favorite book?

Oh Heavens...this is a hard question for me.  I read so much and love so many books.  I'd have to say that my favorite book is Cider House Rules, but I also love Bloom by Kelle Hampton, Finding Ben by LaSalle, Pioneer Woman: From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond, Anne Frank, Out of the Dust, and a ton more that I am completely blanking on.

 

5. What's in your bag? (pictures too please!!)

Inside my purse...

An agenda with reservations for upcoming and past trips, monthly calendars for my dance studio, and lots of sticky notes.

A book.  Always a book.  This time it is Ten Thousand Saints.

My notebook filled with song titles, dance steps, Christmas lists, and ideas.

My dance shoes...they come with me almost everywhere...

And inside my wallet...

Gum, Library Card, School ID, Military ID, License, Credit card, Debit card, Cash, Hair twisty, Earrings from New Orleans, a note from my little sister, LOVE stamps, lots of receipts...especially gas ones with the mileage written on them, change, check book, tampons, dance studio calendar, address of a friend, Arbonne lipgloss, pen, sharpie, a decade of the rosary ring, and generally my keys and phone. For being a little wallet purse, this baby packs a punch!

 

Much love.
