For some time now, the higher-ups at work have been calling me Elizabeth instead of Beth. I thought that maybe one of two things was causing this:
They prefer the name Elizabeth for its formality and professionalism.
They forget that I go by Beth because they generally deal with me on paper more than in person, and [...]

Well, maybe I am just in complete shock, amazement, disbelief, etc. Yes, friends, I am watching “My Big Redneck Wedding” on CMT. Have you seen this? It’s just incredible. IN. CREDIBLE. Let me just try to give you a wee recap of the last episode.
The bride had a “photo shoot,” which was oh-so-professionally done by [...]

Well, there came a point about three weeks ago when I thought I would never see this week – the LAST week of the semester – and yet, here it is. So today, I finished up some things we’d started last week, and then I asked the class what they wished to do for their [...]

The following is a story from DLF. She sent it to me about a month ago, and it’s been sitting in my inbox ever since. She has many other stories I’ll probably post as well, but really, DLF, you should start a blog of your own. This is priceless stuff. Thanks for sharing!
“Just thought you [...]

I sometimes don’t realize that the things I do aren’t what people generally call “normal.” For a blogger, say, to blog on most days is apparently not extremely common. I’m beginning to understand that many a blogger will only blog every few days to once every other week, or in some very sad circumstances, rarely [...]

Well, now that you know I’ve finished my fundraising (!!!), I guess I don’t need to tell you that the crock-pot cook-off was rather a success. But I’ll tell you anyway. First of all, it was a lot of fun. Once we got there and stopped planning/preparing, when we could just enjoy the company and [...]

Sigh. I’ve read too many Cosmo articles in my life. Actually, I’m not even sure that’d be a good Cosmo article title, or if maybe it’s more along the lines of Glamour. Cosmo, I feel, is more high fashion and therefore a bit too snobby for such a catchy title. In fact, it might be [...]

I want to tell you about:
Spamalot
the crock-pot cook-off
movie night (Eat/Say Anything)
the fact that there are 2 weeks left in the semester
the fact that there are 2 weeks left until the WALK!
the miraculous new skin-clearing trick I learned
But I only have time for a little bit, so I’ll start wherever I please and go from there.
Spamalot [...]

There’s too much responsibility involved. Most days it’s a manageable amount, but then other days, it’s too much all at once. Today is one of those days. Somebody give me a drink. Or a cookie. Or some snugglin’. Or maybe just a nap would do me a world of good. I already bought new shoes. [...]
