Posted by beth on January 30, 2009

Confession: I was not actually tagged to do this, but it looked like fun, so I decided to do it anyway. My results will, no doubt, be decidedly different from those of my friend Jennifer, from whom I have stolen it. I will have less R&B and more musical theater, but I think the same [...]

Don’t ask me how she knows these things, but my mom just emailed to ask if I weren’t going to give a shout out to Tom Selleck on his birthday. Well, the answer is yes. I am absolutely going to give Tom Selleck a shout out on his birthday. And for you, dear friends, a [...]

I love Google Analytics. In fact, one might even say that I heart it, that I adore it, that I want to take it out behind the middle school and get it pregnant. It’s just so fascinating. Do you know what it can do? It can tell me how many people are reading Onward Hoe! [...]

Posted by beth on January 26, 2009

Well if this isn’t all the rage. I have been tagged like a thousand times to do this even though everything you could possibly want to know has likely been examined in great detail over the past 4.5 years on Onward Hoe! So some of the things on this list may be repeats from other [...]

Posted by beth on January 24, 2009

I feel like I’ve had one of those stomach bands surgically implanted. You know, the ones that make you lose weight by not eating so much. I’ve heard people who have them say that they literally cannot eat very much at a time or it hurts. Now, I don’t know what kind of pain they’re [...]

Special thanks to Rachel (aka Bob the Tomato) for this one. It’s going to be difficult, given my propensity toward long-windedness, but I’m all about some writing exercises these days, so here we go!
1. Where is your cell phone? table
2. Your significant other? absent
3. Your hair? cool
4. Your mother?  awesome
5. Your father?  funny
6. Your favorite [...]

1. When I pin my hair up/back these days, I try to hide a few extra bobby pins in there somewhere just in case I need one later to tame down a fly-away.
2. Apparently, Fran Drescher wants to take Hillary Clinton’s seat in the Senate. Personally, I am speechless. What do you think?

I emailed my friend Emily the other day because she lives in Washington, DC, and Donald Miller was, according to his twitter, also in our nation’s capital.

Emily.
Donald Miller is in Washington, DC for the inauguration. I know that he was in Georgetown yesterday, and that he is downtown today. If you see him, [...]

Posted by beth on

Well now things are getting serious. Today marks my 5th day off from work, though granted, two of those days were the weekend and one was a holiday. And I’m starting to feel that I should do something slightly more productive than step up my Guitar Hero game to medium difficulty (especially since I already [...]

Posted by beth on January 20, 2009

So I’ve had a reeeaaaallllyyy llloooooooonnnnnnnnggg weekend, which has been just as nice as it has been long. I’ve been able to take things quite leisurely while still being pretty productive. In case you’re wondering how I’ve done on today’s to-do list (and in case you neither live with me nor follow my Twitterances), I [...]
