Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning, friends! I apologize for how long it’s been, but life has been, as usual, kind of crazy around here recently, and some down time was much needed. The good news is, we’re almost done with traveling for the year! One quick trip to the family cabin this weekend for Labor Day and we’ll […]
Recently Netflix released it’s very own adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, called Anne with an “E”. As a huge Anne fan I, naturally, have many mixed feelings about this. While Netflix has a pretty good track record with its original series thus far, Anne is sacred and demands nothing less than absolute perfection. I haven’t started […]
Good morning, friends. So, I did write on Friday, I swear, but apparently I didn’t post what I wrote. It would be silly to post it now, as it was very time oriented, so we’ll just skip it and move on. This weekend we played host to a friend of my husband’s and his girlfriend, […]
Hi, guys! I don’t know that I’m going to get this up in the morning, since I slept in much later than normal. In my defense, it’s been a very long weekend. It was Tekko weekend! Tekko is an anime convention that happens annually in Pittsburgh and for the past three years now, my brother […]
I’m not fond of thunderstorms. I understand that thunder is relatively harmless. If I’m hearing it far off it can’t hurt me, I know that. Still, I don’t like the sound, I’m not a fan of the flash of lightning, or the wind or the pounding rain combination. I’m just super not into it. I […]
I remember watching the news just to see if there was school tomorrow. I remember scanning the schools as they scrolled across the bottom of the screen, hoping that mine would be there. There’s really nothing like a snow day, especially when you’re a kid and you have a big hill to sled on. It’s […]
When I was growing up, Valentine’s day was basically just like any other holiday that promised candy. My whole class would make boxes, you would buy several packs of cheap valentines with cartoons on them and what passed for clever sayings on them for a nine-year-old, and give one to ever kid in the class, […]
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 […]
I feel fairly confident in saying that many of us have had this professor. That one teacher who you looked at with a tilted head at the time and thought “What in the world are they doing?” The crazy one who didn’t make any sense when you had them, but you did what they told […]
I got ice cream yesterday. It’s like 50 degrees outside but I got ice cream and I’m not sorry about it. I have three partially eaten pints of three different flavors of ice cream in my freezer right now and I feel no remorse. I sat in my bowl chair last night in a giant […]
