Moving on and settling down…all at once
quote of the dayPosted by beth on March 31, 2008
Because this cracked me up:
Lauren, via text message, on a Tim Keller lecture about singleness, which was recommended to me by DLF, and which is now being passed around to all my friends: “Argh. Tim Keller is shifting my paradigms!”
We later agreed that everyone who is single should listen to this lecture. So if you [...]
magic wordsPosted by beth on
After lunch yesterday, Lauren, Will and I went to Quail Ridge, where I found this fabulous book that I can use for class. In fact, I’m using it twice this week alone. It’s a writing book that is broken down into topics, and it has vocabulary lists and activities for each section. It’s pretty amazing, [...]
lostPosted by beth on March 28, 2008
Well, there’s the tv show, which I’ll gladly discuss with those of you who watch it. But also, I had a dream the other night that I’d gone out to a movie after work, and when I left, I couldn’t get home. I don’t know where I was working, but after I finished, I drove [...]
MacBuddyPosted by beth on
Alrighty, so as you know, “our” internet is not really ours, so sometimes we can get it, but usually (these days at least), we cannot. So I spend a lot of time at the ‘bou with Buddy, my fabulous MacBook. Well, there are several people who also frequent the ‘bou who also have Macs, and [...]
taxes schmaxesPosted by beth on March 26, 2008
So I did my taxes the other day, and when I was done, I felt all kinds of grown up, but today…just now as a matter of fact, I did something for the first time in my life. I called 911. Now, don’t go being all alarmed. Everything is ok with me. But when I [...]
violence against loneliness is ok right?Posted by beth on March 25, 2008
Although I sometimes talk a big game about stepping on people’s necks, or stabbing people in the neck, or punching people in the neck, I’m really quite docile. But when it comes to my friends feeling down, I just have no sympathy for those negative emotions. They deserve to die, so I have just been [...]
So many things.Posted by beth on March 24, 2008
We’ll start with the 2-year-old stripper.
So last Wednesday, my friend Rachel and my goddaughter (Rachel’s daughter) Annabelle came down to visit me. I was very nervous about this for a few reasons.
My apartment is not child-proof. It’s not even really safe for me sometimes. I did a LOT of cleaning before they arrived, though, and [...]
let’s see…a dime bag plus s&h…Posted by beth on March 18, 2008
Well, first of all, one of my students (the one who has prophetic dreams) told me today that supposedly, people who remember their dreams are a sandwich or two shy of a picnic. She and I high-fived over our newly formed crazy club.
Now, last night, I dreamed that I was driving a truck. It might [...]
I’m quasi-famousPosted by beth on March 17, 2008
I can’t say that quasi-fame is anything new for me. In the summer of 2001, I went down to Caswell for a weekend, and upon entering the staff house lounge, a complete stranger said to me, “You’re Beth Parent! I want a massage later.” Now, before you go thinking crazy things, let me just clarify [...]
information fairPosted by beth on March 13, 2008
I apologize for this, but my brain has condensed itself into a sticky purple mush at this point, and I don’t remember who needs to get credit for this idea. It wasn’t entirely mine. It came out of a conversation I had with…someone…a week or two (or maybe more) ago. If it was you, I’m [...]
