A less frequently asked question, but a relevant one:
Why did you ask for a leave of absence for a whole year? Because I wanted to, we could afford to, and I figured it was about time I figured out what I want to be when I grow up. Bizzleburp is an added bonus. I picked up a book when vacationing out West in October 2003 and found it very informative. More recommended reading, if you're interested, available shortly.
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.
