Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
My husband and I are now the kind of people who go to conventions. We have reached that level of nerddom. We have achieved a new geeky status by attending our very first gaming convention. We are now those people. This year we drove three hours to attend Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio and […]
Good morning my friends! Hopefully this week will see us back to our regular schedule after a few wonky weeks. Summer, however, is nuts and is likely to throw things off again quickly. Next week, for instance, is our kick off vacation for the summer so we’ll be leaving Thursday for Origins, a gaming convention […]
Good morning friends! I’m back after a week off to make cookies with a friend. We were preparing for the seminary graduation with hundreds of cookies and fruit skewers. I was out nearly every day last week doing something and it looks like another long week is coming up. But for now, here’s my weekend […]
Good morning friends. I’ve been listening to the Newsies soundtrack all weekend. One of the songs from the movie came up on a station I was listening to on Google Play and I was like “Hey, I should listen to that!” so I looked it up and decided to give the Broadway version a try and […]
Guys, I have a confession to make. I bought more books yesterday. I know I don’t actually, physically need them, but I had to buy them anyway. It was important to me. I only bought two, though. I didn’t even look in the Young Adult section, to keep me safe from the temptation of other […]
Good morning, friends. So, I did write on Friday, I swear, but apparently I didn’t post what I wrote. It would be silly to post it now, as it was very time oriented, so we’ll just skip it and move on. This weekend we played host to a friend of my husband’s and his girlfriend, […]
Good morning, friends. You know the drill by now, let’s jump right in. Friday My husband almost didn’t have to go to work and then he did. Have I mentioned I’m not a fan of his management right now? Anyway, he did have to go in on Good Friday, a day the whole company had […]
When I was a kid, Easter was the second biggest holiday on our calendar. While Christmas obviously took the cake, Easter was also a big deal. There were big celebrations and events at Church, Palm Sunday was commemorated with big musical productions, we even had a donkey one year. Some of the stuff, I’ll admit, […]
Hi, guys! I don’t know that I’m going to get this up in the morning, since I slept in much later than normal. In my defense, it’s been a very long weekend. It was Tekko weekend! Tekko is an anime convention that happens annually in Pittsburgh and for the past three years now, my brother […]
I’m not fond of thunderstorms. I understand that thunder is relatively harmless. If I’m hearing it far off it can’t hurt me, I know that. Still, I don’t like the sound, I’m not a fan of the flash of lightning, or the wind or the pounding rain combination. I’m just super not into it. I […]
