Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning, friends! We’re nearing the end of September and it is currently a pleasant 68 degrees here. Unfortunately, it’s also 10 am and the forecast predicts a high of 88. What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong with our weather? You’d think I’d be used to such things by now, having lived […]
When I was a kid, Easter was the second biggest holiday on our calendar. While Christmas obviously took the cake, Easter was also a big deal. There were big celebrations and events at Church, Palm Sunday was commemorated with big musical productions, we even had a donkey one year. Some of the stuff, I’ll admit, […]
Good morning, friends, it’s the first day of spring! The sun is shining, the birds are singing outside my window and my cats are shedding white hair all over everything. Truly it is spring indeed! And, in a strange twist of fate, it actually feels a little spring-ish. I just walked outside without my jacket […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, dear friends! As a human who’s very mixed heritage is mostly Irish, this day meant a lot to me growing up. What started as a genuine celebration of the life of Ireland’s first missionary, has become a celebration of just being Irish, really, and an excuse from those who enjoy over indulging […]
We had a laundry adventure this weekend, my friends. But we also got to hang out some very nice kitties and their very nice people, so that was also cool. Still, the whole weekend was a little bizarre and has left me still quite sleepy, so we’re doing a ramble about my interesting weekend. The […]
Guys, you won’t believe it! It’s been in the 70s for the past two days and I am wearing pants! I have been so excited about this all morning! You would not believe how long I’ve been waiting to put on these gold pants again. These are the best pants, ever. I am so proud […]
I realize, of course, that the last day of school is probably not the time to be talking about dress codes, but I feel like in these last two weeks I’ve seen more about dress codes than usual and it has gotten me thinking. I listened to a podcast episode about dress codes a while […]
I took my yucca plant outside because it was nearly seventy degrees and sunny. I thought it was a good idea. I was wrong. I forgot to bring her inside when I left on my vacation. Sure it was a little cooler, but not too cold. I’m hoping she’ll recover. I did bring Yvette inside […]
Welcome back, friends! This is the week! We are moving this Saturday! We’ll be in our very own house with our very own cats and our very own yard and our very own fire place! It’s going to be awesome! But first, the packing must be done and so, this week is probably going to […]
I love alliterations. Just saying. It’s finally here! Guys, it’s the first day of Fall! It’s time to dig into the closets and pull out the long sleeves, the hats, the scarves, the boots and the jackets! It’s time for layers and warm drinks and crunchy leaves and fingerless gloves! And don’t forget to balance […]
