Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Yesterday I spent the day jumping into a pile of leaves with my three-year-old cousin, Zach. It was the very first thing he wanted to do as soon as I got to my parents’ house. I’d come up to help watch him, so I was prepared for little boy antics. I wasn’t aware that it […]
I grew up a console gamer, playing on whatever my bother had at the time. We had a computer, sure, and even some games for it, but I could never get into them, really. It wasn’t until high school that I was introduced to the world of PC games, starting with Left 4 Dead 2 […]
Confession: I am a table top role-player. I’ve played Dungeons and Dragons, 3.5 and 5th edition; Pathfinder, home games and society; World of Darkness, much the same; and Shadowrun, though just the once at a convention. My brother got me into them with WoD when I was a senior in high school and I’ve been […]
We’re going back a bit, since I was so busy on Monday and decided to cheat a bit I’ll be talking today about the 5k I ran on Saturday. The inclination I had as we finished and posted pictures and talked about the race leading up to it was to call it my first 5k. […]
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 […]
When I was in my senior year of college I had a professor who was hard core into writing. Like he wrote so much his hands cramped up and he had to use one of those speech to text programs to continue. He had calmed down by the time he was my professor, but he […]
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 […]
Homecoming is a very special time of year. I never got homecoming for high schools, probably because I went to a high school without a football team and with very few alumni at the time. Still, the idea of going to back to high school to watch a foot ball game is so foreign to […]
