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. [...]
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 [...]
T-Minus 19 Days and CountingPosted by beth on February 15, 2010
So…my birthday is in less than three weeks. And it’s not just any birthday. It’s my THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY, and I don’t have any plans. That is either the biggest relief or the most depressing thought ever. On the up-side, I don’t have to bake a million cupcakes or clean my room or take a shower [...]
Dreamy ThoughtsPosted by beth on January 23, 2010
I’ve had some really weird dreams lately, which, you’ll know if you’ve been reading Onward Hoe! for a while, is not at all abnormal for me. I can’t remember what they’ve been exactly. I know a couple of nights ago, I was at some sort of performance camp for all ages. We were all learning [...]
“Exploring” New TopicsPosted by beth on January 6, 2010
I thought of something to write earlier. Something good, something deep, something vulnerable and reflective. But then I got distracted by the awesome playlist going on at Borders and an absolutely ridiculous conversation about how I should ask the cute guy next to me what song he’d choose to do a striptease to. I didn’t [...]
Pàpa and Vienna: Yet Another PictorialPosted by beth on October 23, 2009
Well, there actually aren’t any pictures from Pàpa, but just so you know, it’s a small city in western Hungary where student Beth’s brother lives with his family. We went there partially because she wanted me to meet them, but mostly I think because she already had the trip planned before I decided to visit. [...]
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 [...]

How to close a chapter of life: Just make sure everything’s clean.Posted by beth on September 11, 2009
I’ve definitely been busy all day, but when I look back over the past several hours, I can point to exactly two things that have gotten done: article prep and laundry.
The laundry is self-explanatory, and the article prep just means I did a lot of the preliminary internet research necessary to write a bunch of [...]
License Plate InterpretationPosted by beth on August 27, 2009
I don’t remember how it started, but a while back, WhitneyJosh and I started texting each other whenever we saw interesting, weird, funny or puzzling vanity plates. It’s a fun game. And come to think of it, didn’t there use to be a game show where people deciphered license plate messages? I think there was. [...]
