Honestly, by the time I get around to talking about the boat show, no one is going to care (if there’s anyone even now who cares). But I still haven’t found the cord, and SOMEbody still hasn’t sent me The Picture, so today, I have two topics I’d like to discuss.
First of all, I FINALLY [...]

So…my birthday is in less than three weeks. And it’s not just any birthday. It’s my THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY, and I don’t have any plans. That is either the biggest relief or the most depressing thought ever. On the up-side, I don’t have to bake a million cupcakes or clean my room or take a shower [...]

I’m always behind on the hot facebook trends. That whole bra color thing, for example, totally missed me, and then one day, I was just trying to do the purple and gold cheer, and everybody thought I was wearing a purple bra, so I was getting all of these comments like “sexy” or “beige,” and [...]

I don’t know if y’all have seen or read The Jane Austen Book Club. I thought it was ok, and it was one of those rare occurrences when I liked the movie better than the book, but that is beside the point. Whether you’ve seen it or read it or not, and regardless of how [...]

I’ve had some really weird dreams lately, which, you’ll know if you’ve been reading Onward Hoe! for a while, is not at all abnormal for me. I can’t remember what they’ve been exactly. I know a couple of nights ago, I was at some sort of performance camp for all ages. We were all learning [...]

I missed a lot while I was gone: new TV shows, popular Halloween costumes, Adam Lambert being awful (well, I wouldn’t say I missed that, but that I was spared, thank goodness), and the death of John Hughes. I’m catching up slowly, though, and I hope that by my birthday (March 6, start shopping now), [...]

Get ready, kids, because I am here today to GIVE STUFF AWAY!! I don’t think I’ve ever really done this before, so I’m pretty excited about it, and if there are any companies out there that would like some free promotion, I’ll give your stuff away too. It makes me feel like a younger, thinner, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Well, there actually aren’t any pictures from Pàpa, but just so you know, it’s a small city in western Hungary where student Beth’s brother lives with his family. We went there partially because she wanted me to meet them, but mostly I think because she already had the trip planned before I decided to visit. [...]
