Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Greetings, friends! Today I am drinking tea instead of coffee because I promised a friend that I would serve her this amazing green chai with orange peal tea that is like my most favoritest thing ever and she left this morning so it was now or never. I’ve just seen her and her husband off […]
Every year Halloween comes and goes and I have yet to do any of the Halloween-y things I want to do. I haven’t gotten any pumpkins, I haven’t walked up to the cemetery and read Spoon River poems to the gravestones, I haven’t watched any monster movies. It’s very depressing. I don’t even have any […]
November is creeping towards us and you know what that means. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is almost here and I have no idea what I’m doing for it. Last year I did really well, reaching 30,000 words in my novel which I have barely touched since. November is that one time of year when […]
I am notorious for having adventures. A simple 40 minute trip can become a two-hour excursion with me at the wheel, or even just in the car. I can turn practically anything into an adventure, usually just by naming it so. Weekends are especially good for adventures and I should know better than to expect […]
Yesterday I spent the day jumping into a pile of leaves with my three-year-old cousin, Zach. It was the very first thing he wanted to do as soon as I got to my parents’ house. I’d come up to help watch him, so I was prepared for little boy antics. I wasn’t aware that it […]
I grew up a console gamer, playing on whatever my bother had at the time. We had a computer, sure, and even some games for it, but I could never get into them, really. It wasn’t until high school that I was introduced to the world of PC games, starting with Left 4 Dead 2 […]
Confession: I am a table top role-player. I’ve played Dungeons and Dragons, 3.5 and 5th edition; Pathfinder, home games and society; World of Darkness, much the same; and Shadowrun, though just the once at a convention. My brother got me into them with WoD when I was a senior in high school and I’ve been […]
It’s just been that kind of week, I guess. Do you have have one of those? Where you just don’t feel like doing anything at all? That’s been my week. Sure, I’ve gotten up like I was supposed to, mostly, and written the things and even got dressed a couple of times, but I just […]
We’re going back a bit, since I was so busy on Monday and decided to cheat a bit I’ll be talking today about the 5k I ran on Saturday. The inclination I had as we finished and posted pictures and talked about the race leading up to it was to call it my first 5k. […]
This is a post I wrote earlier this year and posted on my previous blog. Since this is the dress I’m going to put on again toady, I felt it was appropriate to pull out this post and share it with you all again. I’ll admit, I’m still pretty in love with her. She’s a […]
