title pic My 20s. All of them.

Posted by beth on March 6, 2010

And just like that, my 20s are over. Man, what an awesome decade. I’m going to try to do a recap of all my 20s birthdays and hit the highlights of some of the incredible things I’ve had the opportunity to do in the last ten years. I’m old, though, so I might not remember [...]

title pic When Fun Things Aren’t Fun

Posted by beth on March 3, 2010

I babysat all day today, and while they are cool kids, they wear me out when I have them together because I feel more like a referee than anything else. Within the first five minutes, and then every two minutes thereafter, it’s, “Beth, can you tell her to…” or “Beth, can’t you make her stop…” [...]

Posted by beth on March 2, 2010

I was going to just type all my thoughts while watching Lost and then publish them, but then I realized that the whole post could be summed up in two entries:

WHAT?!?!?!
LAPIDUS!!!!

The end.
This live blogging thing isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I thought it would require faster typing. Huh. Maybe I’ll try [...]

title pic You are what you ad?

Posted by beth on March 1, 2010

So. A while back, like some time before I left for Italy, I signed up to advertise with Project Wonderful, and so far, I think I might be able to take one other person out for a soda with the money I’ve earned. But they’ll have to drive because I wouldn’t be able to afford [...]

title pic Yes, it’s really 1:45 a.m.

Posted by beth on February 27, 2010

Every few months, I get to feeling antsy and what’s-the-point-ish about my blog. Why bother? It’s not like I’m saying anything life-changing or earth-shattering, after all. But then I remember that I just really like doing it, and that some things that happen are just too good to keep to myself. For example, I went [...]

title pic Goal Check-In

Posted by beth on November 10, 2009

This internet connection is being a little bit lame, so I’m going to save the Rome pictorial for another time. They’re all on facebook, though, so you can check them out there, and for now I’ll just say that it was a blast. I like it a lot better than Naples. A LOT.
Anyhoe, I feel [...]

title pic Just a few more things…

Posted by beth on October 6, 2009

As long as I’m still here, and since I left you hanging yesterday, here are just a few more random updates:

We went on Saturday to a part of Naples called Vomero, where they have a street market with some pretty fancy stuff for super cheap, supposedly because it’s stolen. I didn’t get anything, but I [...]

Posted by beth on September 30, 2009

I was going to post all these in the comments section of the previous post, but (#1) I’m not sure you people go back and read the comments left after yours, and (#2) there were so many of them that I decided it warranted an entire post. And also (#3), I’m hoping that by commenting [...]

title pic Don’t Know Just What To Do With Myself

Posted by beth on September 4, 2009

Well, it’s Labor Day weekend again (cue the music)…
LABOR DAY! LABOR DAY!
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED AND POOLS ARE OPEN!
LABOR DAY! WHAT’S THERE TO SAY?
DO ALL YOUR SHOPPING…
AT WAL-MART!!!!
My sister just left to drive down to Charleston to see my parents. My other sister will be there too, and I could have gone except I feel like [...]

title pic Autonomy Is Hard Work

Posted by beth on August 31, 2009

Everything has its pros and cons. For example, I’m not teaching any more, which means I woke up at 10:00 this morning, and I still don’t have a face on. I didn’t intend to sleep until 10. Apparently my body just needed it, and for that reason, I’m glad I had the opportunity to give [...]
