So welcome to my blog, which I have started on a whim in the hope that it will help me keep in touch with people. A blog will also allow me to mouth off about the various stresses I've been under (and will be for the next few months!) I will maintain my anonymity -- at least to the casual browser. I'm no Washingtonienne. Most readers will probably see this because I told them to visit, but hey, all are welcome to read my little rants and comments. That's the beauty of push-button publishing under a pseudonym. Modern technology lets us all have our little soapboxes.
So hi and welcome.
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.
