Moving on and settling down…all at once
Time Flies When You’re Sleeping InPosted 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 [...]
If I Had A Dating Site (Daidle deedle diddle deedle diddle diddy diddy dum)Posted by beth on September 8, 2009
Confession: I’ve been on at least five different dating websites since I moved to Raleigh. I only do them when they’re free, though, because I am both cheap and extremely skeptical that I will find anyone decent on them. And as we all know, this skepticism is not unfounded, and really, why would I want [...]
License Plate InterpretationPosted by beth on August 27, 2009
I don’t remember how it started, but a while back, WhitneyJosh and I started texting each other whenever we saw interesting, weird, funny or puzzling vanity plates. It’s a fun game. And come to think of it, didn’t there use to be a game show where people deciphered license plate messages? I think there was. [...]
Online Dating Lesson #2: Writing a Sister BackPosted by beth on June 8, 2009
Ok. I’m not going to be upset with you if any of the following scenarios are true: A) I wrote to you. You looked at my profile, and you were not interested, so you didn’t write me back. B) I wrote to you an email containing horrendous grammar and spelling mistakes that made me look [...]
Online Dating Lesson #1: Making the IntroductionPosted by beth on June 1, 2009
Well, since the Italian Lesson posts don’t seem to be very interesting to anyone (myself included), and the online dating posts are quite popular, and since I want to meet the needs of my readership, I’m going to hold off on the Italian Lessons until I start learning to say more entertaining things. So when, [...]
Personally, I like my milk pan-fried.Posted by beth on May 28, 2009
I am honestly concerned, friends, with what seems to be a growing epidemic among single men. I used to think it was just good, old-fashioned laziness at best or dyslexia at worst, but there seriously can’t be that many lazy and/or dyslexic single men out there. Is it just because I teach and write English [...]
New Requirements for a HusbandPosted by beth on May 21, 2009
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 [...]
wanted: research assistantPosted by beth on February 18, 2009
At the end of class today, we had about five minutes with nothing to do because we’d finished one thing and didn’t really have time to start on the next thing. When this happens, I either play a game or open up the floor for general questions. Well, today one of the students had an [...]
Look out, Raleigh!Posted by beth on January 28, 2009
I love Google Analytics. In fact, one might even say that I heart it, that I adore it, that I want to take it out behind the middle school and get it pregnant. It’s just so fascinating. Do you know what it can do? It can tell me how many people are reading Onward Hoe! [...]
One WordPosted by beth on January 23, 2009
Special thanks to Rachel (aka Bob the Tomato) for this one. It’s going to be difficult, given my propensity toward long-windedness, but I’m all about some writing exercises these days, so here we go! 1. Where is your cell phone? table 2. Your significant other? absent 3. Your hair? cool 4. Your mother? awesome 5. [...]
