Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
We got our first Christmas card the other day. I haven’t put it up yet because I haven’t decided where it should go. I’m thinking maybe over the fireplace. I also need to dig out my sticky tack ball that Twirls imparted to me after graduation. And by imparted I mean she left it behind […]
Every year my in-laws make a Christmas trip into Pittsburgh. I don’t know how long they’ve been doing this, but it’s been at least as long as I’ve known them. There’s a little Christmas village in Market Square that they go to look through and a list of other Christmasy things to see and do each […]
Growing up we watched a lot of Christmas specials, but not so many Christmas movies. There is a very clear distinction between the two, you know. A Christmas movie is a full length film with a Christmas theme. A Christmas special is short, made for TV, and often part of something bigger. The Charlie Brown […]
Welcome, dear friends, to this years Christmas series! It is very gloomily raining outside and not feeling very Christmasy at all, but we’ll make the best of it, as you do in Western PA, where it could snow on Thanksgiving and rain on Christmas and then Snow on Easter, just because. It really is very […]
Good morning friends! Welcome to the holiday season! I’m going to get into some Christmasy things here soon, I promise, but this morning I’m just going to go on a little bit of a ramble because we’ve had a bit of a cat scare and I’m getting a late start on everything today. So last […]
Is this cheating? I’m not sure. But for my final day of thankfulness I am so thankful for Thanksgiving. It has always been my favorite holiday, a day to gather with family and eat and enjoy each others company. It kicks off the holiday season and launches us into the most festive time of year. […]
IT’S HERE! It is officially Thanksgiving week! We have just two more days of thankfulness before THE BIG DAY! So we’re dipping into the bigger thankfulness topics which I know I’ve already covered, but I’m going to talk about them a little differently. Today I’m thankful for friends and siblings and the ability I have […]
Today I am thankful for lazy days to stay home and not put real pants on. Technically today isn’t a truly lazy day as I have some cleaning and stuff to do, but just the fact that I have the option of not going outside or getting dressed like a real human is so nice after […]
Today I am thankful for warm fuzzy things. This is all I want from today really, just to sit in my comfy chair with my fuzzy blanket and my fuzzy cats and be warm. This really is the best part about cool weather. I get to pull out all the blankets and all the fuzzy […]
Good morning friends. I’m geting an okay start today, I guess, as far as time goes. I actually got a good start to my day as far as other things are concerned. I did yoga this morning and listened to a devotional podcast which was pretty good so I’m off to a pretty good start […]
