Posted by beth on April 29, 2010

As you may recall, I posted a review last week of Jason Boyett’s new book, O Me of Little Faith. Well, I had the opportunity to sit down with Jason and ask him a few questions. And by “sit down with,” I mean, I sat down and emailed him, and I think he probably sat [...]

Posted by beth on April 23, 2010

Is it ironic that I was skeptical about a book about doubt? That’s fine. I fully admit that I was. I was excited to read it, don’t get me wrong. I mean, this is what happened when my copy of Jason Boyett‘s new book, O Me of Little Faith, came in the mail: But as [...]

Today I made a delicious lentil recipe I found here. I had to cook it longer than the recipe calls for, but it was REALLY good. I stuffed my face with it for lunch AND dinner, and I’m going to have it for dinner again tomorrow (and probably lunch on Friday). Apart from that, this [...]

So we got this brochure from the Jehova’s Witnesses in our mailbox the other day, and every time I look at it, I giggle uncontrollably for a full ten minutes. It’s so fantastic. Allow me to share. Please forgive the fact that it’s backwards. I don’t know how to flip it over because I am [...]

“Better early than never” is not usually my motto. “Better late,” maybe, or perhaps even, “meh…oh well,” but no one has ever accused me of being punctual, much less early.  I had an algebra class in college once that I didn’t care that much about, and I often showed up 20-30 minutes late to the [...]

I…don’t really know what to say about this. How about some audience feedback?

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. [...]

Posted by beth on January 5, 2009

Be advised, I am NOT making New Year’s resolutions here. These are just likely, wishful, possible, perhaps even whimsical or fanciful ideas of things that may or may not happen in 2009. Hey, maybe I can be like a living “Choose Your Own Adventure” where the direction of my life is determined by reader comments [...]

Man, this week just FLEW by didn’t it?! I absolutely cannot believe it’s Monday again already! Or that it’s been so long since I updated you (if you’re still out there reading). Or that I only have four more days of classes left. Or that I really don’t need to plan for them at all! [...]
