I have already decided on a few Resolutions for 2009:
* Post to blog more than once a month.
* Do not commence each blog post with a pathetic excuse about why it's been so long since last blog post.
* Hone my skills of selectively ignoring my boss
* Get some exercise
* Find an off-ramp from present career track
* Keep all creatures in my care, four- and two-legged, alive.
* Keep a houseplant alive for at least three months. Cactus does not count.
(No, seriously, I have a black thumb. I once killed an aloe plant.)
Not a bad start: the secret to realistic goals is measurable standards - and low ones.
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.
