Today I made a delicious lentil recipe I found here. I had to cook it longer than the recipe calls for, but it was REALLY good. I stuffed my face with it for lunch AND dinner, and I’m going to have it for dinner again tomorrow (and probably lunch on Friday). Apart from that, this [...]

Don’t ask me why, after going to bed at 2:00 a.m., I was awake at 8:30, but I was. Wide awake. I will be asleep much earlier tonight. Anyhoe, because I am an addict, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is reach for my PunkBerry to see how many [...]

So I noticed on Twitter just now that “Crashes Car While Shaving Privates” is a trending topic, friends, and you just cannot ignore something like that. So I looked it up and found this article about this woman in Florida who had a wreck while shaving her junk AND DRIVING. She was driving to Key [...]

And just like that, my 20s are over. Man, what an awesome decade. I’m going to try to do a recap of all my 20s birthdays and hit the highlights of some of the incredible things I’ve had the opportunity to do in the last ten years. I’m old, though, so I might not remember [...]

Of course you are all aware by now that I have a special way with the meeeuhnz. And by that I mean I am highly skilled in becoming buddies with them. Some girls have guys just falling all over themselves whenever they’re around, unable to think straight or form coherent sentences, but very few are [...]

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 [...]

Alright now, gentlemen, I don’t think any of you will take this personally as these men are CLEARLY insane, but just to be sure, I start out with this disclaimer: I am not blaming nut-jobs like these for my being single. I am blaming you for not asking me out. Haha, TOTALLY kidding. Kind of. [...]

I still like these requirements for my future husband, but some days, when I get really tired of the whole thing, and I just want to get married and be done with all the meeting and greeting and making nice and pretty, I pare it way down, reducing the requirements to the following: loves Jesus [...]

So lookey here, internets. I’m just doing some preliminary logistical research here. Nothing interesting is happening at all, so don’t get excited. But say I wanted to do a cross-country road trip of some sort – you know, just for kicks and giggles and book tour and seducing Donald Miller and seeing everyone I love [...]

I spent the morning teaching phrasal verbs and common expressions with “do” and “make,” which was particularly helpful for my Hispanic students who say things like, “I forgot to make my homework,” or, “I make exercise in the gym.” I understand why they say these things, so I don’t fault them for it. They just [...]
