title pic My 20s. All of them.

Posted by beth on March 6, 2010

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 [...]

Posted by beth on January 4, 2010

Ok, I know I promised you the story of the worst Best Buy salesman ever, and I intend to deliver that to you. I’m just going to warn you that it’s not that great. Much like any solo music made by a Jackson who was not Michael or Janet. Here we go.
The only TV I [...]

Posted by beth on December 24, 2009

I’ve asked Santa to bring me Donald Miller’s new book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, but I think I can do him one better than that. In the past two days, I’ve traveled from Raleigh to Charleston to Melbourne, FL and back to Charleston. Now, come New Year’s Day, I’ll have a most [...]

Posted by beth on December 21, 2009

First of all, my sincerest apologies for my many days of absence following my return from Portland. I feel like I’ve been caught up in one big Christmas party since then, and it’s been a little weird, quite frankly, all around. I went to the grocery store for the first time the other day, and [...]

title pic Portland

Posted by beth on December 16, 2009

Well I know you’re all DYING to know what I thought of Portland and whether or not I’m going to move. I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures to post. There are a couple of mobile uploads on facebook you can look at if you’re just that curious, but they’re not exactly pictures OF Portland [...]

title pic Ok fine, ONE more

Posted by beth on December 9, 2009

Y’all. Somebody just posted this on facebook, and it is cracking me up. It’s like a special holiday edition of Awkward Family Photos, which is also spectacular. I just don’t know what my favorite part is. Is it the screaming children in EVERY PICTURE? Or perhaps the lecherous, drunken and/or vacant expressions on the faces [...]

title pic Time Flies When You’re Sleeping In

Posted by beth on November 17, 2009

Y’all. I am going to be headed home in like three weeks. That is crazy. Carla and I were just talking this morning about it. I’ll be in London in a week and a half for Thanksgiving, and then a week and a half after I get back, I’ll be on a plane. INSANE!! I [...]

title pic Ack! Ok NEXT time, I promise

Posted by beth on November 12, 2009

I know I told y’all I’d do a Rome pictorial the next time I blogged, but I don’t have time right now (it just keeps on slippin’ slippin’ slippin’ into the future, man). So next time, I PROMISE. I’ll do it first thing. Right now, I just want to tell you that we FINALLY got [...]

title pic Advice for Visiting Pompei(i)

Posted by beth on October 31, 2009

I give up. Is it Pompei or Pompeii? Because in English, it has two i’s, but in Italian, it only has one, so from now on, so as not to offend anyone either foreign or domestic, I’m just going to spell it with the second i in parentheses.
Ok, so I spent all afternoon yesterday in [...]

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 [...]
