Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good Morning, my friends! I’m actually up early today, but you can’t tell because I dropped my husband off at work first before I came home to sit down at my computer. It’s finally cooled off again so I am snuggling up in my giant sweater for the day with my crackling candle for company. […]
Hi guys, I’m staring at the wall today. I’m not sure when said wall got there, but it’s been there for a while and I’ve just been staring at it, metaphorically, for some time now. I’m not actually physically staring at a wall, in case you were confused. This is the writers block wall that […]
Dear Young Me, You are in high school and things seem complicated. The world is a scary and uncertain place. You don’t know what you want to do. The world has told you your passion isn’t good enough to support you. They’ve told you you can’t make a living writing and you should go to […]
Good morning, dear friends! This weekend we finally broke into some fall festivities and enjoyed some harvest festival fun with some friends of ours. My husband’s friend Panda made a list of fall things for us to do this year that he was very excited about. I too was very excited about this list as I […]
So I’m in the house for another half an hour before I dash off to get lunch with a friend who lives in Ohio and recently got back from Australia and other crazy adventures so this is another quick ten minute ramble kind of post. I feel a little bad about doing one of these […]
Today I’m thinking about pictures. Which is not unusual for me, actually. I think about pictures a lot. I just love the idea that you can capture a moment in time in this paused form to show to people years and years later. Today, though, I’m specifically thinking about wedding pictures as a friend of […]
Today I’m playing hooky. I realize that by explaining that I’m playing hooky I’m not really playing hooky as it is by definition skipping out on work or school without an explanation, but whatever. It’s been a long weekend of saying goodbye to a loved one and worrying about another and to top it all […]
I grew up hearing ghost stories from my cousins. Maybe that has something to with how I turned out. This is a confession that I have made before, but still hesitate to bring forth. I am fascinated with the macabre. Also, that’s a beautiful word, macabre. It’s one of those words that sounds how it […]
I am a white girl. This is a thing that I am aware of, however, I have long striven to avoid falling into the many stereotypical “white girl” things. I’ve never worn Uggs, though I hear they are comfortable. I don’t tan, both don’t and won’t. I refuse to wear leggings as pants, I don’t […]
We have finally reached October, my friends! October is the fallest you ever get around here. The leaves are finally actually starting to change colors, the air is cool, but not cold yet and the first of the big Holidays approaches at it’s end. October has been thoroughly taken over by Halloween in main stream […]
