Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
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 […]
It’s that time of year again, my friends! Though for many of you this may be the first. It’s Ren. Faire season once again in Western PA and, as usual, my husband and I have made the trek out to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival for a Saturday of medieval themed fun. It is always an […]
They say its important to have a morning routine. At least, I think that’s what they say. I don’t think I’ve actually heard anyone say it, but I feel like this is a thing.

I have been collecting rings since my freshman year of high school. I started with a purity ring, worn on my thumb because I was paranoid that it wouldn’t come off my ring finger and somehow managed to get it a size and a half too big. Lesson learned, the following rings were properly sized […]
That time has come, once again, when we send off our young people to return to their high education. Some are venturing forth for the first time, finding a new adventure waiting for them in some dorm on some campus full of potential future friends; some are returning to those friends with stories of the […]
It has been a pleasantly cool August thus far. The weather has been hovering in the mid 70s to low 80s with some nice sun and the occasional thunderstorm, though it’s supposed to warm up again next week. It would be a nice way to ease out of summer, if we were there yet. We […]
Today is a big day, my friends. A day that I knew would probably come, someday, but didn’t really think would ever happen. A day that marks my true place in the world of adults. Today, I have an interview. My very first formal interview at that. I know what you’re thinking; “Purps, how did […]
I feel like it is every book lover’s goal to be a library. I mean this in every sense of the word. Not just to have a lot of books, or a whole room full, even, but the be a library where a friend can come to them and say “Hey I need something to […]
Well, dear friends, I did it… sort of. I ran in my first 5k race for pancreatic cancer, and by ran I mean I ran short bursts and walked most of it, and by 5k I mean 4.44 miles of unmarked streets around the park. It was a very special race and I’m pretty sure […]
