Just when I think I have this whole HausFrau thing down: Yesterday was the Big Weekly Shop. Every week I go through the grocery store circulars and figure out who's got the best deals on what, then map out my tri- or quadripartite shopping list accordingly. I hit three supermarkets on Thursday and was feeling quite pleased with myself, especially since I got all that crap into the fridge and freezer, right? So imagine my surprise when I was pulling out some cold cuts for lunch today, and discovered some unexpected articles in the meats drawer. Like my checkbook.
Honestly. Good thing I wasn't even looking for it, cause God knows I'd never have come up with that one. I suppose next time I need the ketchup I should check my sock drawer.
And yesterday was a good day, too. Sheesh!
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
