Weekend Writing Warriors #111!

Hello, my dears! Happy first Sunday of spring! Man, did we ever earn this spring. It's been one hell of a winter, eh? Let's continue to keep those temperatures rising with a little more from Adventures in Online Dating! :)

Here's the blurb: After too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you! :-D

And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off: 
“Here you go,” he said, sliding a mug toward her as he slipped into the booth next to her. 
            “Thank you.” Lifting the mug, she took a sip and cringed when the liquid hit her tongue. “What is this?”
            “It’s an organic blend. Black.”
            “Oh, I’m...I don’t usually drink coffee that way...or ever.”
            He stared at her as if she'd just shattered his taste-free world. “You’re not vegan?”
            “Not so much.”
 
Oops. I think Joe just lost a few points there. No offense to the vegans in the crowd. lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!

Well, I've been on March Break this past week. It was absolutely wonderful. I ended up visiting my grandparents for a few days and my brother and sister-in-law as well. So much happiness. I miss the laughs and the hugs and the delicious food. I know I'll be seeing them all again really soon for Easter, so that makes it easier. Mom and Dad will be back from Florida then too, which means I finally get my Chunkys and Paydays! Wishing everyone a fantastic first full week of spring! :)

  2. There's vegan coffee? OK, there's something I didn't know. Buh-bye, Joe.

    We're having a family day today, too. Just took a French toast casserole out of the oven for a brunch hosted by my daughter. Off to pick up my mother in a few minutes, so we'll be 3 generations around the table. Or maybe four, if I can count Megan and Chris' cat, Ellie? Glad you got to visit both the elder and younger Royals! Here's to spring-like weather!

    1. Apparently there is. Something I'll never have to become familiar with...I hope. ;)

      Your family day sounds spectacular! You had me at the French toast casserole. Hope you all enjoy your time together, and give my Almost-family hugs for me! xoxo

      Hooray for spring!

  4. I wonder why Joe assumed she was vegan? Pretty sure she'll give him another chance though.

  5. If he cares that much about his dates being vegan... he should ask that before he meets them. And who doesn't ask how people take their coffee?

  8. Does she like her men the way she likes her coffee? I guess organic/vegan doesn't cut it, lol. Great & light hearted snippet.
