Moving on and settling down…all at once
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Baby Don’t You Cry, Gonna Make a PiePosted by beth on July 21, 2009
I’ve just made this pie (thanks, L*Joy!!), which is now cooling on the table, and a variation of it that is currently in the oven. We’ll see how they both go. I’ve no doubt that the recipe is good, but in the first one, I was slightly confused and only used half the prescribed amount [...]
Putting the “swell” BACK into CaswellPosted by beth on July 20, 2009
Well, friends, I spent all day on Saturday at a Caswell staff reunion, and while there were a bunch of people there from other summers that I didn’t know, I got to see a whole bunch of other people that I hadn’t seen since 1999, and it was fantastic. As you ought to be aware [...]
It’s a sunshine day!Posted by beth on July 16, 2009
A while back, DLF recommended these Sunshine veggie burgers to me, and it took me a while to actually purchase them, but OH MY am I happy I did! So far, I’ve only tried them on toasted English muffins with guacamole and dijon mustard, but I’ve got big plans to add hummus, sprouts, baby spinach, [...]
