Moving on and settling down…all at once
2011 Reading ListPosted by beth on January 3, 2011
I’d been feeling like my life had developed a large void where fictional books ought to be. I read a fair amount, but mostly I gravitate towards memoirs, humor, books about writing, and Christian non-fiction. And then suddenly, I needed to read fiction. What probably happened was that my brain knew it was turning to [...]
Bust a MovePosted by beth on December 16, 2010
I’ve decided to forgo professionalism today. If I have to work on a snow day, I’m going to do it in the comfort of my jabambas by the fire. Plus, who wants to go outside today? Not this girl. And if I’m not going out, why shower? I’m just sayin’ is all. So yesterday I [...]
About “About You”Posted by beth on October 12, 2010
I’ve just finished reading a book called About You by Dick Staub, and although the subject matter is exactly the kind of thing I love to talk about, the whole thing left me wanting more and feeling like I could have done a better job of writing it. No offense, Mr. Staub. I just didn’t [...]
Why, Hello FridayPosted by beth on September 17, 2010
Dang, y’all. I’m sorry. I do not know where the week has gone, but I sure do feel like it’s been a full one. Here’s what I remember: I went running on Tuesday, and I’m now finished with week 3 of the Couch to 5k program. When I go tomorrow, I’ll step it up to [...]
The Story of My LifePosted by beth on July 19, 2010
It’s a good thing I’m not a people-pleaser, because I feel like I am constantly letting someone down with all my coming and going. I leave Raleigh, and people are sad. I go back to Raleigh, and people in Asheville threaten to lock me in a closet because they don’t want to lose me. I [...]
Story Time!Posted by beth on June 23, 2010
I don’t know if any of you have ever looked at a map of North Carolina and Virginia, but from the western tip of NC to the northern tip of VA is about as far as you can get just between those two states. It takes seven hours to drive from Asheville to Manassas. SEVEN [...]
Holy CrapPosted by beth on May 14, 2010
Oh my gosh, y’all, I just checked my formspring page, and I have LOTS of questions!! Great work! I can’t decide whether to answer them in the order they were received or in the order I feel like answering. I suppose in the interest of fairness, I should answer them from oldest to most recently [...]
BlackBerrylessness: Day 2Posted by beth on May 4, 2010
I promise I’m not going to update you on my PunkBerry withdrawal every day. Today was just a particularly good example of why I’m glad I gave up the crack. I used to wake up every morning, roll over in bed, grab PunkBerry, and catch up on the Twitter 3rd shift. This was a good [...]
Interview With Jason Boyett (aka my best bff forever)Posted by beth on April 29, 2010
As you may recall, I posted a review last week of Jason Boyett’s new book, O Me of Little Faith. Well, I had the opportunity to sit down with Jason and ask him a few questions. And by “sit down with,” I mean, I sat down and emailed him, and I think he probably sat [...]
Doubt: Just a Dirty Word for HonestyPosted by beth on April 23, 2010
Is it ironic that I was skeptical about a book about doubt? That’s fine. I fully admit that I was. I was excited to read it, don’t get me wrong. I mean, this is what happened when my copy of Jason Boyett‘s new book, O Me of Little Faith, came in the mail: But as [...]
