Moving on and settling down…all at once
If You Want to Get Married, Come Live with MePosted by beth on March 12, 2011
Seriously, since I moved to Raleigh, ALL of my roommates have gotten married…except one. W-Josh, you’re up next!! I just got home from L-Josh’s wedding, which was lots of fun. Good food, good friends, good weather, I looked cute, Josh got hitched, there was champagne, and I caught the bouquet. I’d call that a successful [...]
ICE DAY!!!Posted by beth on January 11, 2011
I’m not calling it a snow day because there is absolutely no snow outside, but apparently there’s enough ice on the roads for Wake Tech to close. I’m not arguing. I wouldn’t have been upset if I’d had to go to work today – it’s only the 2nd day of class, so I’m not ready [...]
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 [...]
Everybody Loves WinningPosted by beth on April 21, 2010
Even if what you win is a random object from a complete stranger’s bedroom or a made-up award, it always feels good to have won something, to feel validated in some way, to feel recognized as a human being. So the other day when my friend Andrea gave me this Beautiful Blog Award, well that [...]
Census: The Penultimate CountdownPosted by beth on April 15, 2010
Wow. My month of employment with the 2010 Census is almost over. Tomorrow is my next to last day, and honestly, y’all, I’m kind of sad. I mean the Census and I have had some good times sitting around for the last month. I feel like I just got all the numbers memorized that I [...]
1000 Ways I’m Better Because of BloggingPosted by beth on March 26, 2010
Ahem. Do I look any older today? Any wiser, perhaps? You may notice that I have a new banner up at the top there, which is all thanks to my awesome sister, who is much better at that sort of thing than I am. But that’s not what I’m talking about. This is my ONE [...]
Well Now That That’s OverPosted by beth on March 9, 2010
Thirtieth birthday – Check. And now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I can go back to being 29. Here’s what I’ve decided: There is nothing wrong with the number 30 or the age. I’m not upset that I’m 30. I don’t long for younger days or miss the glory of my youth. [...]
Still Not About the Boat ShowPosted by beth on February 24, 2010
Honestly, by the time I get around to talking about the boat show, no one is going to care (if there’s anyone even now who cares). But I still haven’t found the cord, and SOMEbody still hasn’t sent me The Picture, so today, I have two topics I’d like to discuss. First of all, I [...]
Well That Was FastPosted by beth on February 16, 2010
First of all, I’d just like to add to the title – That’s what she said. Ok, now that that’s out (that’s also what she said), I was just lamenting yesterday how I had no birthday plans, and now I’ve got THREE parties in the works!! That’s one for every decade! I love it. So [...]
Happy Birthday Amaris!Posted by beth on January 5, 2010
On account of it’s her birthday today, and in honor of that fact, I’d like to share with you all this email that my friend Amaris received long, long ago on this dating site that I think her mom signed her up for. Not sure about all the details there, but maybe one of them [...]
