Moving on and settling down…all at once
I OWN You, 2012.Posted by beth on January 4, 2012
I’ve never really liked the idea of New Year’s resolutions because they are so rarely kept, and really, why do we wait until January to make resolutions? Can’t we resolve to do things any time we want? I submit that we can. So in the spirit of bucking the system, I’m just going to continue [...]
CountdownPosted by beth on December 11, 2011
Y’all, I have one more week in this long, long, long, long, long semester. Not bad-long, just long-long. And I’m ready for a break, but what I’m really excited about is organizing all the boxes of class materials under my bed into spiffy binders. And these spiffy binders will all fit into one box, making [...]
Lost…Lost…Lost…I’ve Lost My MarblesPosted by beth on November 17, 2011
Y’all, seriously. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. I put things down, and they disappear. I can’t find my mailbox key, I keep forgetting to buy more almond milk, I have no idea what I was going to write about here just now, and I feel fairly certain I was supposed to do something. [...]
Making ProgressPosted by beth on August 4, 2011
With the move all finished and the semester over, I now have a couple of weeks to relax, unpack, get organized, get things like internet set up, and prepare for next semester to start. I am proud to report that I’m making progress on all fronts. Time Warner is coming next weekend to flip our [...]
I’m a Reading MachinePosted by beth on July 21, 2011
I am procrastinating on today’s packing just a bit longer to bring you a quick book review of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I’d been putting off reading this one for no apparent reason. I just wasn’t into it, I guess. But then when I was packing to go to the beach [...]
Beachin’ It Up!Posted by beth on July 16, 2011
Y’all, I’m at the beach, and I could not be happier about it. I got to hang out last night with some good friends, and then I parked my car, got on a boat and left the real world behind. I have things that must be done, of course, but I get to do them [...]
Book Review: The Hunger GamesPosted by beth on June 20, 2011
This is actually a review of an entire series, not just one book. “How is it possible that you’ve read three books since your last review?” some of you may be asking. Well, I honestly don’t know except I have sacrificed sleep, which should make some of you fall out of your chair. And just [...]
Simplify2011: BooksPosted by beth on March 27, 2011
I made two steps over the weekend to cut my book inventory WAY down. First I bought myself an eReader. I know, I know. I was staunchly opposed to them, but I basically got the deal of the century, and I couldn’t pass it up. It’s nothing fancy. It’s the Borders Kobo, originally priced at [...]
Book Review: Water for ElephantsPosted by beth on January 29, 2011
Y’all seriously, I don’t know where time comes from or where it goes. On the one hand, I have no idea how I’ve gotten done the things I’ve gotten done this week, and on the other hand, I feel like I didn’t have a moment to spare until yesterday evening. I am thankful for both [...]
The Help: A Book Review by Beth ParentPosted by beth on January 6, 2011
I told myself several times yesterday that I would NOT stay up until all hours of the night finishing The Help. I’m trying to get back on a normal sleeping/waking schedule, see, because morning registration is tomorrow, and classes start back on Monday. But then last night, I took the book to bed with me [...]
