Moving on and settling down…all at once
Mrs. Hogan Goes to RaleighPosted by beth on December 29, 2010
I know it’s not quite as Capra-esque as a visit to Washington, but having Mrs. Emily Furr Hogan herself here in my very townhouse was definitely a highlight this week. Mrs. Hogan, it seems, booked a trip to NC, was very excited to have nearly two whole weeks with her family, then got to WILKESBORO!!!!! [...]
Vacation: Day 1 – Professionalism FailPosted by beth on December 13, 2010
Well first let’s start with an update on my vacation to-do list progress. I spent the weekend with Rachel and Annabelle baking. And hooooo-boy did we bake! I think we made about 90 buck-eye balls, about the same number of pretzels with melted Rolos and pecans on top, roughly 50 Christmas wreaths, and when I [...]

Y’all. Whew. The semester is over. It’s over, and a new one doesn’t start for almost a MONTH! And in that time, I have so few plans, it’s ridiculous. And the plans I do have are as follows: Spend this weekend in VA with Rachel and Annabelle shopping and baking. Bake cupcakes. Write/edit some articles. [...]
Phil, Paul and Bret: My New BFFsPosted by beth on October 27, 2010
I’ve been having really vivid dreams lately that involve everything from celebrity sightings to grand theft auto. A week or two ago, I dreamed that I stole a van and ended up in the van INSIDE a building at a camp. I don’t know exactly how I got the van in the room, but no [...]
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 [...]
Social Event of the SeasonPosted by beth on October 15, 2010
As you may already know, The Container Store is opening in Raleigh this weekend. And since I hosted that giveaway a while back, they gave me a ticket to a “private” preview party, which took place last night. L-Josh and I went, and Amaris was supposed to come too, but she got…lost? Yeah, we’ll call [...]
Thursday is the new Friday.Posted by beth on October 14, 2010
Soooo…what had happened was that the church where we teach our ESL classes needs to test the fire alarm system with the fire marshal there, and our choices in the matter were: (a) have super-crappy classes with the fire alarm going off the whole time and thus going outside and coming back in every ten [...]
Happy Birthday to Me!Posted by beth on August 26, 2010
Oh my gosh remember when I turned 30?? Yeah, it’s a little fuzzy for me too. But here are some pictures: Many people came to celebrate my birth. And celebrate, we did, with tasty, tasty Asian food. Afterward, we went to see Shutter Island. It was not good, but the celebration was. G.Lover and I [...]
Greetings From the Family ReunionPosted by beth on August 21, 2010
Hey friends! I’m at the family reunion! So far, it’s been pretty fun. Yesterday, we went into Franklin, VA to the Elms, which was my great-great-grandparents’ house, and I’ma just say that you know a house is awesome when it’s named. When I grow up and have a house, I’m going to name it something [...]
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 [...]
