Moving on and settling down…all at once
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 FINALLY [...]
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 what [...]
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 [...]
On Falling in Love, Making Decisions and Not Pleasing EveryonePosted by beth on January 2, 2010
When I left Raleigh on Tuesday, I was 95% sure I was going to move to Wilmington, and that my trip to Asheville would just be a fun time to see John and Anne and Community (aka Jen), meet some cool girls (Lisa and Kendra) and hang out in the mountains for a few days. [...]
Budapest: A PictorialPosted by beth on October 20, 2009
FYI, if you ever go to Budapest, I just have a few recommendations for you:
Make sure you have someone with you who speaks Hungarian.
Give yourself at least four days, preferably a week.
Get a good guidebook, and see everything.
Ask lots of questions
Whatever happens, just go with it (this is my rule for any and all travel [...]
Weekend UpdatePosted by beth on September 21, 2009
Buon giorno!!!!!
Ok, first of all, I gave up on the rest of the Beth trivia because there wasn’t much participation, and my internet availability has been limited. Oh well. And now a few words on adaptation.
So far, the biggest difference for me between my life in America and my life in Italy is that I [...]
It took a while, but I finally got there.Posted by beth on July 31, 2009
My apologies for the late posting, but I spent the afternoon packing and driving down to the beach for the weekend. But that’s not what took a while.
As I was driving, I was also listening to my Italian CDs with my good buddy, Michel Thomas. I call him my good buddy because he helped me [...]
Writing ExercisePosted by beth on July 28, 2009
I was recently introduced to this website, where one can find multiple fictional stories about Roy Orbison being wrapped in plastic wrap (referred to as “clingfilm” on the site). There are many things about this idea that intrigue me, not the least of which being that this is a very odd thing to think about [...]
HallefreakinluiaPosted by beth on July 27, 2009
Oh, friends, I am ecstatic to report to you that I’ve just taught my last night class of the semester. I don’t really believe it yet, but there it is. Tomorrow is the last night for the students, but since I’m just the Monday/Wednesday teacher, it matters not to me. And I’m going to have [...]
