Moving on and settling down…all at once
Planning AheadPosted by beth on September 21, 2011
Amaris‘s brain doesn’t always work. I don’t know if she needs more sleep or if she’s got some kind of vitamin deficiency or what, but sometimes she just ain’t all there. I can say these things about her because she knows it, and I’ve said it to her (though she probably doesn’t remember), and well, [...]
Baby BenjaminPosted by beth on September 12, 2011
The next thing I’ve been up to that kept me occupied all last weekend is I went up to northern Virginia to visit my friend Rachel and my godchildren. Yes! There are now TWO!! And oh how precious and adorable is the wee babe, Ben. He’s two months old and super-chill. He just hangs out, [...]
And the Bad Blogger Award Goes to…Posted by beth on September 10, 2011
I mean dag, y’all. I suck at this. I’m sorry. Here’s what’s been happening. I’ve been working. We’ve been in class for three weeks now, and my students are fabulous. As always, I love them to pieces. I’ve been having about 15 every day, and yesterday, at our 2nd registration (out of 3), I got [...]
woopsiePosted by beth on August 15, 2011
Did I really not blog all last week? Hmm. I meant to. I thought about it on several occasions. What was I doing anyway? I certainly wasn’t lesson planning, and I wasn’t doing other things on the internet because we didn’t have it yet. Maybe I didn’t blog last week because absolutely nothing happened worth [...]
True ConfessionsPosted by beth on July 4, 2011
True Confession #1 When I think about planning lessons, my whole brain shuts down, and I have to convince myself that it’s a necessary thing to do. Then I have to think about how long it will take me and what else I have to do that day, and if there’s any time at all [...]
I Think I’m Back NowPosted by beth on June 30, 2011
Physically, I’ve been back in the country since Sunday afternoon. But my brain is just now catching up. Y’all, I’ve been SO tired all week, and today is the first day I almost feel normal. The weekend went a little something like this: Friday Friday night, after a full day of all our stuff (kids [...]
Documentary Begets European Art TourPosted by beth on May 20, 2011
Earlier this week, I asked my Facebook friends to tell me the best documentary they’d ever seen. Originally, I just wanted suggestions for films to show in class, but then I got really interested in watching them all. The lovely DLF suggested The Rape of Europa, and it was then seconded by Sister Dallas, so [...]
Yes, I’m Still RunningPosted by beth on April 27, 2011
So I know I haven’t mentioned it in a while, and some of you probably thought I’d given up on running, but L-Josh and I went for a run this very morning. It was hot. We were extremely sweaty. And there was some sort of corporate bonding going on the whole time, which meant about [...]
Don’t Get ExcitedPosted by beth on April 25, 2011
I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up or make anyone think that I have any intentions to stay in Raleigh for any significant length of time, but I will say this: I don’t hate it. Actually, there are a few things I very much love about Raleigh, or at least what I can see [...]
For Relaxing Times, Make It Vacation TimesPosted by beth on April 19, 2011
Well, what I thought was going to be a relaxing weekend of nothing at the beach turned out to be a busy three days of hanging out with lots of people, not sleeping very much and designing stage lighting, but that’s just how things go sometimes. No? Some of you are shaking your heads no. [...]
