Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
My husband and I have been talking. We would really like to be more active this year than we have been. We are introverts and have a lot of solitary, indoor hobbies. We like to read comic books and watch cartoons and play video games, together and individually, and those are all things we can […]
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. […]
Okay guys, I’ve been sitting here for like an hour trying to write something and I’m getting nowhere, so we’re doing another ten minute ramble for this morning. To be fair I did talk to my mom for a little while in there. I’ve been helping her with her resume which is a hug pain, […]
So far I’m keeping up with my writing sufficiently. By sufficiently, I mean I’m writing enough that I will probably be done by the end of the month by the required words per day count on my stats, but not necessarily the required words per day had I started at 0. But, I’ll take what […]
I thought about doing family all as one unit, but I feel like that would have been a pretty long post, so I broke it up into parts. Today, I am thankful for my siblings, all four of them. I was blessed with a bother and sister to grow up beside me, even when they […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m staring at my running shoes this morning. And they’re staring back at me with their permanent bows that I never bother untying and judging me for sitting in my chair when I should have gone with my husband, taken the car, and gone running this morning like I thought about doing last night. Thus […]
Today we thought about running, but we didn’t. My husband is sometimes more ambitious for his own good. I’m not the runner here, so I just go with what he tells me, but sometimes I really should question what we’re doing. Like running in 78 degree weather in the sun. That wasn’t such a good […]
