Moving on and settling down…all at once
Jesus Is Totally RadicalPosted by beth on July 21, 2010
This is not necessarily a story I want to write with my life, but seeing as I do not have that post finished yet, and this just came up the other day, I figured I’d tell y’all about it. I was talking to Emily Furr Hogan about that summer (I think it was ’98) when [...]
The Story of My LifePosted by beth on July 19, 2010
It’s a good thing I’m not a people-pleaser, because I feel like I am constantly letting someone down with all my coming and going. I leave Raleigh, and people are sad. I go back to Raleigh, and people in Asheville threaten to lock me in a closet because they don’t want to lose me. I [...]
Back to the QuestionsPosted by beth on July 6, 2010
Well good golly, I had completely forgotten about my formspring page until I was notified earlier today that someone had asked me a question. And let me just tell you, it’s a doozy. We have to get through several more, however, before that one can have its turn. So let’s start where we left off, [...]
Sharing the LovePosted by beth on July 5, 2010
My virtual friend Elaine just nominated me for a Versatile Blogger Award. Thanks, Elaine!! We’ve never met, but I’m totally joining her writing group when I get back to Raleigh as I’m 99.8% sure that my schedule will allow it. I’m not sure why she only nominated me for the award instead of just giving [...]
Story Time!Posted by beth on June 23, 2010
I don’t know if any of you have ever looked at a map of North Carolina and Virginia, but from the western tip of NC to the northern tip of VA is about as far as you can get just between those two states. It takes seven hours to drive from Asheville to Manassas. SEVEN [...]
Open QuestionPosted by beth on June 7, 2010
This is one of those classic questions, almost on par with “If you were an animal, which one would you be, and why?” or “If money were no object, what would you do with your life?” It’s one of those questions everyone is asked at some point, but I think some people think about it [...]
WILKESBORO!!!!!Posted by beth on May 24, 2010
Well it was just a spectacular weekend in WILKESBORO!!!!! even though the mow-down did get canceled due to rain that cleared up completely within about 15 minutes giving way to the most beautiful evening I’ve ever seen. Oh well. All that means is that I’ll have to go back again soon. It also means that [...]
Questions I Don’t Know How to AnswerPosted by beth on May 18, 2010
Today’s first question is this: Gain? Really, your reader demographic skews towards ads for Gain? And my best answer is…Yes? I honestly have no idea how my ads work. I don’t know if my reader demographic skews toward ads for cleaning supplies, or if BlogHer just has an agreement with all their advertisers to give [...]
Delicious or DisgustingPosted by beth on May 11, 2010
First of all, let me just say that this is not a recipe yet. It’s only what I’ve been doing for the past 14 hours or so. If it turns out to be delicious, then we’ll call it a recipe. But right now, it’s just a report. I hope it’s going to turn out to [...]
Everybody Loves WinningPosted by beth on April 21, 2010
Even if what you win is a random object from a complete stranger’s bedroom or a made-up award, it always feels good to have won something, to feel validated in some way, to feel recognized as a human being. So the other day when my friend Andrea gave me this Beautiful Blog Award, well that [...]
