Moving on and settling down…all at once
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 [...]
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 [...]
Not About the Boat ShowPosted by beth on February 23, 2010
I know many of you are just squirming in your office chairs waiting for me to post pictures and VIDEO!!!! from this weekend’s Powerboat Show and Sale. I can’t post them yet, though, for two reasons:
I’m waiting for SOMEBODY to scan and email me The Picture because the one I have is not good. It [...]
Decisions, decisionsPosted by beth on December 21, 2009
First of all, my sincerest apologies for my many days of absence following my return from Portland. I feel like I’ve been caught up in one big Christmas party since then, and it’s been a little weird, quite frankly, all around. I went to the grocery store for the first time the other day, and [...]
Junk Food Is the New AtkinsPosted by beth on December 8, 2009
As I’ve told you before, I’ve been failing miserably in my attempt to gain fifteen pounds in Italy. In fact, I believe I’m actually down seven or eight now, which works for skinny jeans, so I guess I’ll get over it. Some of you have asked, however, how I have accomplished this. Well, I’ll tell [...]
My New BFFPosted by beth on December 4, 2009
It’s funny how sometimes something (or someone) so great can be right under your nose, and you can just not ever notice it (them). I realized today whilst chatting with WhitneyJosh that I’ve had a soulmate here with me the whole time I’ve been in Italy, and I never noticed. Now, as you may know, [...]
Advice for Visiting Pompei(i)Posted by beth on October 31, 2009
I give up. Is it Pompei or Pompeii? Because in English, it has two i’s, but in Italian, it only has one, so from now on, so as not to offend anyone either foreign or domestic, I’m just going to spell it with the second i in parentheses.
Ok, so I spent all afternoon yesterday in [...]
Budapest: A PictorialPosted by beth on October 20, 2009
FYI, if you ever go to Budapest, I just have a few recommendations for you:
Make sure you have someone with you who speaks Hungarian.
Give yourself at least four days, preferably a week.
Get a good guidebook, and see everything.
Ask lots of questions
Whatever happens, just go with it (this is my rule for any and all travel [...]
And I said, “Virg, why don’t we try this tiny toothpaste?”Posted by beth on
On my last day of work, everyone gave me something for my trip. It was all wrapped up in a piece of fabric that was tied to a stick. Like a hobo. Only when I picked it up, the stick broke in half, so I decided just to pack the stuff in my backpack instead. [...]
The Plight of the Impoverished WandererPosted by beth on October 8, 2009
I’ve got a former student from Hungary who is currently in Budapest and offering me a free place to stay until October 19, and I really want to go for a few days, but the cheapest flight is still $150, so I’ve been debating for the last hour as to whether or not I should [...]
