Moving on and settling down…all at once
For Exciting Times, Make It Moving TimesPosted by beth on July 19, 2011
I seem to have gotten this move off to an odd start by doing things in the wrong order. Just to refresh your memory, here are what I have determined to be the 7 stages of moving (for a more thorough break-down of each stage, go here): Dread Action Plan Paying a Butt-Load of Money [...]
Epic PlaylistPosted by beth on June 5, 2011
Last year, for my friend Eden’s birthday, she requested that all her friends make her CDs in lieu of throwing parties, buying dinners, giving gift cards or scarves, etc. Since I love music and making fabulous playlists, I was very excited about this idea. In fact, in the future, if ever you want to give [...]
A Few Short UpdatesPosted 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 [...]
Teaching Keeps Me Normally WeirdPosted 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 [...]
Asheville Weekend in PicturesPosted by beth on October 20, 2010
One of my students requested that I take pictures of my trip to Asheville last weekend and post them here (hey Sarah!), and although I forgot my camera, Josh has a pretty good one on her phone, so here we go (thanks Josh!)! We spent Friday afternoon wandering around downtown, trying to find me a [...]

About “About You”Posted by beth on October 12, 2010
I’ve just finished reading a book called About You by Dick Staub, and although the subject matter is exactly the kind of thing I love to talk about, the whole thing left me wanting more and feeling like I could have done a better job of writing it. No offense, Mr. Staub. I just didn’t [...]
I Made Something Up!Posted by beth on September 10, 2010
I’ve always thought writing fiction was hard, and the advice I got about it never helped. It was always one of two things: Just make stuff up. It’s all about characters. Just make up characters. Both easier said than done, unfortunately, although they sound simple enough. I could never figure out why it was so [...]
Good News/Bad NewsPosted by beth on September 8, 2010
The good news is that it’s a short week. The bad news is there are still two more days of it. I know I’ve been saying this for several weeks now, but seriously, this time it’s true: Next week, my schedule will be normal. I’ll only have to work ONE night, and I won’t be [...]
Hey Thursday, I like you.Posted by beth on August 12, 2010
It’s been a good day so far. I woke up after dreaming that I was at an art camp. I think I dreamed this because I read this last night before I went to bed. Anyhoe, I was at this art camp, and I needed supplies, and then I stumbled across a supply room that [...]
