Moving on and settling down…all at once
Zurich – Washington, D.C.Posted by beth on December 13, 2009
I arrived in Zurich rather late and realized immediately that I’d forgotten that I don’t speak German. Not a bit. I don’t know how to say “train station” or “airport” or “hostel” or “help.” And yet there I was trying to figure out how to get from the airport to the main station so I [...]
Character ArcPosted by beth on December 9, 2009
It’s rare that you actually get an opportunity handed to you so simply in life to take a look at who you are and how you’ve changed. Under normal circumstances, you have to make a lot more of an effort to take time out and think about such things, and most of the time, it [...]
A Conversation From YesterdayPosted by beth on October 8, 2009
Savka: Where’s my mommy and daddy?
Me: They’re at work.
Savka: I wanna go to work too.
Me: Yeah? Ok, what kind of work do you want to do?
Savka: What?
Me: What job do you want to have?
Savka:…….PURPLE!!!
Dolly Goes For a RidePosted by beth on October 6, 2009
So I live with a toddler, which is sometimes annoying and messy, mostly when she’s sleepy and fighting it. But most of the time, she’s pretty cool. At the moment, she’s really into Band-Aids, so usually around or after dinnertime, she’ll go to the bathroom and get one to put on somebody’s invisible boo-boo. She [...]
Baby Don’t You Cry, Gonna Make a PiePosted by beth on July 21, 2009
I’ve just made this pie (thanks, L*Joy!!), which is now cooling on the table, and a variation of it that is currently in the oven. We’ll see how they both go. I’ve no doubt that the recipe is good, but in the first one, I was slightly confused and only used half the prescribed amount [...]
It Must’ve Been the RumPosted by beth on July 2, 2009
I dreamed just now that I’d befriended a family that had two sons. The sons were significantly younger than me, but somehow, we’d still grown up together. The younger one was probably 11 or so, and the older one was 18 or 19. I don’t know how we’d grown up together. Maybe I was younger [...]
Will It Swell?Posted by beth on June 15, 2009
For those of you who’ve been pondering lately the swelling capacity of various body parts, allow me to enlighten you. Be warned, however, as this might be more than some of you ever wanted to know about me.
I had a wonderful weekend with my friend Rachel, her husband Greg, and their ridiculously cute daughter (my [...]
DLF, I owe you onePosted by beth on May 12, 2009
I just got a text from DLF telling me to go to this website, and y’all, IT. Has MADE. OUR night! This one in particular, we just do not understand AT ALL. If you can explain to me why a family would find this acceptable under any circumstances, I would love to hear it. This [...]
OH MY GOSH (25 Things)Posted by beth on January 26, 2009
Well if this isn’t all the rage. I have been tagged like a thousand times to do this even though everything you could possibly want to know has likely been examined in great detail over the past 4.5 years on Onward Hoe! So some of the things on this list may be repeats from other [...]
just one more thing before I go to bedPosted by beth on September 10, 2008
While we’re on the topic of all things white-trashy, your thoughts?
