Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
To start with an aside, I love that the drive-thru guy at Dunkin Donuts always comments on my hats. He loves my purple beret and always complements me on how good I look in it. Today I wore the black bowler, as it happened to be handy in the living room when we ran out […]
I have a story to tell, but I don’t know if I’m well enough to tell it. I’ve caught my husband’s cold it seems and that, on top of everything, has left me feeling very drained. So I’ll give you the information that you need to know about this week and why I won’t be […]
Today I am wearing my husbands sweater. It’s a husband sweater kind of day. It’s cold outside, I’m wearing my super fuzzy-lined warm owl socks that I got for Christmas and it was very important that I wear my husbands sweater. Though I will say, I’m disappointed there isn’t more snow on the hillside outside […]
So you know how we had a super stressful Saturday full of disappointing house hunting and were feeling rather discouraged by the whole ordeal? Well that’s over now. We just had our application approved and will be signing the lease to rent a house tomorrow. A house that we found on Sunday, contacted and viewed […]
When we got married we had a surprisingly easy time finding a place to live, comparatively speaking. Sure,almost no one got back to us about the places we were interested in, but once we got a response, set up an appointment and came to see the place we fell in love with it right away. […]
We made it, guys! We’re in 2016, which feels exactly like 2015, but colder. Winter, it seems, has finally caught up to us here in Western PA and snow covers the hillside outside my window, albeit lightly. I’ll take it. I’ve been waiting for the weather to act appropriately all December and now it’s January […]
Greetings dear friends! It is the final day of 2015 and even though it’s a Thursday, I’m making a special exception because it seems wrong somehow to post a review of this year next year, you know? So I started this tradition back on my first blog, Down the Rabbit Hole, and have continued it […]
Guys, guys, guys! Christmas is two days away! Tomorrow is Christmas eve and the celebrations begin! My husband and I will be opening presents tomorrow morning, enjoying half a day to ourselves, and then heading up to begin celebrating with my mom’s side of the family for the evening. Friday we’ll go over early to […]
Probably the biggest tradition we have in my family is the list of Christmas cookies that my dad makes every year. The list is pretty impressive, including at least six different kinds of cookies made in triple batches to be shared on cookie trays all through the holiday season, and then to be stored in […]
It took me a while, but I’ve finally gotten into the Christmas swing, complete with tree, Christmas music to accompany me as I drive and, of course, Christmas specials. There is something, well, special, about Christmas specials. They have a very special place in my heart and always will, I imagine. They’re lasting and classic […]
