This weekend I will catch up on some adult conversation, I hope. I'm taking a weekend "retreat" with a group of scrapbookers to catch up on old projects. I have several years' worth of photo albums to assemble, and if sequestering myself in the mountains for 48 hours is the only way to make progress on them, so be it.
The downside is that I'll be away from the baby for two nights. Whimper! I'm curious to see how we'll all cope.
And that's not all! The Radisson Purple Scare is opening its doors wide for the next few weeks. My brother is staying with us for a week starting Sunday. My mom returns Tuesday with my aunt, and they'll stay at least a week. That's five adults and one infant under one roof. My in-laws arrive on July 8 and overlap with my mom for a few days as well. If I live to see my birthday (mid-July) without going to jail, I'll be quite impressed.
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.
