Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning, dear friends! Today I am drinking a pumpkin machiato from Dunkin’ Donuts and it is strange, but quite tasty. I’m drinking it iced since it’s like 65 out right now and that’s warm enough for me to justify it. I really like iced coffees. I may take up my sister-in-law’s practice of drinking […]
Yes, another running post. My second ever 5k is quickly approaching and I am, of course, cramming to get in some more training before the big day. I honestly never thought I would willing get up in the morning and put on running clothes so that I could go for a run on my own […]
Do you ever get home from something in the middle of the day, have a few hours to kill and think, “You know what I want to do? I want to do this super random thing that I haven’t done in a long time?” This was me yesterday afternoon after a coffee date with a […]
Today is my husband’s kind of weather. “It could be cooler,” he’d say, but it’s over cast and rainy and that’s how he likes it. We’re very pale people, we don’t do well with sun. I’m sitting in my big comfy chair, a cup of coffee next to me, as usual, and I have the […]
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 […]
I was reminded several times on Saturday, by my poor sick husband, that I am now old. Or, at least, older than I was. I turned 24. This means that I’ve caught up to my husband, at least for the next five months or so. Looking back at my memories on Saturday and the days […]
I’d almost forgotten it was so, when my dad came around the wood pile and told me he was making noodles with cabbage and asked if I wanted him to put aside some plain noodles for me. It was so foreign to me now that it took a moment to register. “No, that’s alright,” I […]
Good Morning, dear friends. It’s a sunny Tuesday morning and I realize that I am, technically, a day late. I thought about writing yesterday, I really did, but having woken up with my husband still in bed and breakfasting and showering and dragging ourselves out to do some shopping, the day went by and I […]
This has been a thing as long as I can remember. Well, not the Farki thing. That started when I was in high school, but the camping thing has definitely been going on since I was wee little and without complete control of my motor skills. There are pictures to prove it. And once again, […]
Good morning, dear friends! This is the first day of my new schedule and I’m a little excited and a little sleepy at the same time. We ran out of creamer last week and ran out of milk on Saturday so I have no coffee to perk me up this morning. It is a sad […]
