    quasi-unemployed

    Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

    So I got quasi-fired. Not to worry, though. I’ll be back at it in a couple of weeks, but what had happened was that I was going to teach a field trip class for these two last weeks of inter-semester vacation, and we didn’t have enough students to justify having two teachers there. And since […]

    and now for something completely different

    Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

    I can’t believe I haven’t told y’all this yet (well, some of you know). Anyhoe, my fabulous, most wonderful, amazingly brilliant and beautiful roommate got ENGAGED!! Yep, yep! Memorial Day weekend, she was down at Caswell, where she’d met her beau one year earlier, and he had it all set up so he could take […]

    God is Not a Temp

    Friday, April 11th, 2008

    And now, friends, the moment you’ve been waiting for. I’ve just received written permission from the co-author to share with you what might be the most poignant, thought-provoking, theological and poetic masterpiece of our generation. It won’t be quite the same as when I read it in person, but you’ll just have to imagine a […]

    information fair

    Thursday, March 13th, 2008

    I apologize for this, but my brain has condensed itself into a sticky purple mush at this point, and I don’t remember who needs to get credit for this idea. It wasn’t entirely mine. It came out of a conversation I had with…someone…a week or two (or maybe more) ago. If it was you, I’m […]

    and a Swell Season ticket…in a pear tree

    Thursday, February 28th, 2008

    A week from today!! A week from today!! We celebrate my birth one week from today!! I believe it’s time to start my wish list:

    a hug from each of my friendsĀ 
    tickets to “The Swell Season” in Raleigh on May 15
    a gift card for fashion
    a half-digested gazelle carcass
    CitreShine hair gel (the orange kind)
    a day off
    a pedicure
    a […]

    DIBS!!

    Monday, February 11th, 2008

    I just want to state for the record that the following ideas are mine and my sister’s and Lauren’s, and if anyone comes out with either of these musicals, you will all be called upon to help me beat them down. Just remember…you heard it first at Onward Hoe!
    Ok, so when my sister and I […]

    confession

    Friday, February 8th, 2008

    I don’t really like getting my hair cut. I only do it because there comes a point where my hair turns into a mullet no matter what kind of style I had going on before. So I make an appointment, and I go to have it cut. I like the shampoo part, and I like […]

    facts about moi

    Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

    My friend Faith sent this to me via email, and since I don’t have anything else to blog about, I’m passing it along to all of you. I figure it’s less annoying this way. Enjoy!!
    1. Were you named after anyone? My mother’s father’s mother and my father’s mother
    2. When was the last time you cried? […]

    revolutionary

    Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

    Have y’all heard of this new-fangled “cable TV” thing? It’s crazy, man. Both informative and entertaining. Tonight, Brooke and I watched VH1’s list of the top 40 stupidest things ever said by celebrities. They ranged from the obvious Jessica Simpson/Tara Reid airhead remarks (”Is this chicken, what I have, or is it fish? ‘Cause it’s […]

    good-bye, my friend

    Thursday, January 24th, 2008

    Five years ago for Christmas, my sister gave me my very first hair dryer. I know. How can a girl go 22 years without owning a hair dryer? Well just wrap your head around this one: I don’t own a brush or a comb. I used to. There was a time when no one in […]
