Posted by beth on May 18, 2011

I have to leave for work (again) in about 15 minutes, so I don’t have time for a lengthy post about anything, but that’s cool because I don’t have anything lengthy to say about anything, so here are just a few short updates and tidbits: I LOVE that it’s already Wednesday. This week is going [...]

Posted by beth on December 22, 2010

I have always said that in order to be a good ESL teacher (or probably any language teacher, for that matter), you have to be at least a little bit insane. You have to be able to roll with whatever comes at you, ready to answer no matter what questions come up, ready to explain [...]

Posted by beth on June 14, 2010

Y’all know I’ll do pretty much anything if it’s free and doesn’t violate any laws or personal morals. I will especially join a dating site if it’s free just because it’s so dang entertaining. But this Zoosk thing – I just can’t bring myself to do it for at least two reasons. First, there’s the [...]

Posted by beth on May 17, 2010

Today’s formspring question isn’t so much a question as it is a request, and a rather vague one at that, but here goes: More on Jews, Please. Thank Jew. Friends, I’m not really sure how to respond to this, but I suppose I have several options. I could start an ongoing Jew segment, giving you [...]

Posted by beth on May 3, 2010

I did it. I went to the Verizon store yesterday after church and told them I wanted to downgrade. They turned off my PunkBerry and gave me a very normal, very unsmart Samsung “Intensity.” I’m not exactly sure what’s so intense about it.

Posted by beth on March 18, 2010

I think it has been well established that I like to write. And on that note, a sidenote: I’m about to hit 1,000 blog posts, and I’m trying to think of something exciting to do for it. Any suggestions? End of sidenote. So I’ve been writing freelance for the past couple of years for various [...]

I know many of you are just squirming in your office chairs waiting for me to post pictures and VIDEO!!!! from this weekend’s Powerboat Show and Sale. I can’t post them yet, though, for two reasons: I’m waiting for SOMEBODY to scan and email me The Picture because the one I have is not good. [...]

Posted by beth on February 12, 2010

So I tweeted the other day: Dear Single Christian Men in Asheville, Do y’all know people? ‘Cause none of them seem to know any of you? And I received an email yesterday containing the following: Thanks, faithful reader, for this reminder that they are out there…even though the fact that he’s on an online dating [...]

On account of it’s her birthday today, and in honor of that fact, I’d like to share with you all this email that my friend Amaris received long, long ago on this dating site that I think her mom signed her up for. Not sure about all the details there, but maybe one of them [...]
