Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Good morning, dear friends, I’ve just finished a weekend of parties which kicks off all the parties for the rest of the year. The thing about having friends and being involved in things and having a job, I guess, is that you get people want to celebrate Christmas in those groups and so they throw […]
We got our first Christmas card the other day. I haven’t put it up yet because I haven’t decided where it should go. I’m thinking maybe over the fireplace. I also need to dig out my sticky tack ball that Twirls imparted to me after graduation. And by imparted I mean she left it behind […]
Growing up we watched a lot of Christmas specials, but not so many Christmas movies. There is a very clear distinction between the two, you know. A Christmas movie is a full length film with a Christmas theme. A Christmas special is short, made for TV, and often part of something bigger. The Charlie Brown […]
Is this cheating? I’m not sure. But for my final day of thankfulness I am so thankful for Thanksgiving. It has always been my favorite holiday, a day to gather with family and eat and enjoy each others company. It kicks off the holiday season and launches us into the most festive time of year. […]
IT’S HERE! It is officially Thanksgiving week! We have just two more days of thankfulness before THE BIG DAY!

Good morning friends! It is officially November, which means that National Novel Writing Month has officially begun! This means I’ll be devoting a big chunk of my time this month to the usual attempt at completing 50,000 words by the end of the month. I never try the traditional finishing a novel in a month […]
Good Morning, my friends! I’m actually up early today, but you can’t tell because I dropped my husband off at work first before I came home to sit down at my computer. It’s finally cooled off again so I am snuggling up in my giant sweater for the day with my crackling candle for company. […]
Dear Young Me, You are in high school and things seem complicated. The world is a scary and uncertain place. You don’t know what you want to do. The world has told you your passion isn’t good enough to support you. They’ve told you you can’t make a living writing and you should go to […]
Good morning, dear friends! This weekend we finally broke into some fall festivities and enjoyed some harvest festival fun with some friends of ours. My husband’s friend Panda made a list of fall things for us to do this year that he was very excited about. I too was very excited about this list as I […]
