Moving on and settling down…all at once
Big Girl PantsPosted by beth on May 27, 2011
No, I’m not gaining weight. I’m talking about being a grown-up. In just a few weeks, I will have paid off my student loans and started saving for retirement. Did anyone’s jaw just drop to the floor? Because I’m pretty much still in disbelief myself. Finally, finally, I will have earned that Master’s degree both [...]
Don’t Get ExcitedPosted by beth on April 25, 2011
I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up or make anyone think that I have any intentions to stay in Raleigh for any significant length of time, but I will say this: I don’t hate it. Actually, there are a few things I very much love about Raleigh, or at least what I can see [...]
For Relaxing Times, Make It Vacation TimesPosted by beth on April 19, 2011
Well, what I thought was going to be a relaxing weekend of nothing at the beach turned out to be a busy three days of hanging out with lots of people, not sleeping very much and designing stage lighting, but that’s just how things go sometimes. No? Some of you are shaking your heads no. [...]
Aaaaaaaand stretchPosted by beth on February 17, 2011
I’m pretty much out of words for the month, so forgive me if this is short, stilted, awkward or otherwise unreadable. New Orleans was GREAT. We had a fantastic time, we had the best cheerleaders ever, we ate a lot of really good food, and we completed all 13.1 miles of the 1/2 marathon. We [...]
Weekend UpdatePosted by beth on January 23, 2011
I understand that some of you are upset by my lack of blogging this week. Here’s what you missed: I joined the Y!! I applied for financial assistance and got it in a BIG way. Seriously, if you want to join but don’t think you can afford it, the application process is really easy, and [...]
Mrs. Hogan Goes to RaleighPosted by beth on December 29, 2010
I know it’s not quite as Capra-esque as a visit to Washington, but having Mrs. Emily Furr Hogan herself here in my very townhouse was definitely a highlight this week. Mrs. Hogan, it seems, booked a trip to NC, was very excited to have nearly two whole weeks with her family, then got to WILKESBORO!!!!! [...]
Vacation: Day 1 – Professionalism FailPosted by beth on December 13, 2010
Well first let’s start with an update on my vacation to-do list progress. I spent the weekend with Rachel and Annabelle baking. And hooooo-boy did we bake! I think we made about 90 buck-eye balls, about the same number of pretzels with melted Rolos and pecans on top, roughly 50 Christmas wreaths, and when I [...]

Y’all. Whew. The semester is over. It’s over, and a new one doesn’t start for almost a MONTH! And in that time, I have so few plans, it’s ridiculous. And the plans I do have are as follows: Spend this weekend in VA with Rachel and Annabelle shopping and baking. Bake cupcakes. Write/edit some articles. [...]
A Cautionary TalePosted by beth on December 4, 2010
W-Josh and I went to Paige’s birthday party tonight (Happy Birthday Paige!!!), and she had this hilarious app on her iPhone that made us all look fat. Here’s me: And as L-Josh just said in a song she composed on the spot, “Don’t get fat ’cause you’ll look like you’re fat.” Well said, buddy. I [...]
Asheville Weekend in PicturesPosted by beth on October 20, 2010
One of my students requested that I take pictures of my trip to Asheville last weekend and post them here (hey Sarah!), and although I forgot my camera, Josh has a pretty good one on her phone, so here we go (thanks Josh!)! We spent Friday afternoon wandering around downtown, trying to find me a [...]
