Moving on and settling down…all at once
I’m still standin’ (yeah yeah yeah)!Posted by beth on November 21, 2009
Wow wow wow, friends, I am so sorry to have left you in such a lurch all week, but it’s been a busy one. I spent all day on Wednesday working on some articles so I could take Thursday and Friday off. I don’t think I’ve even mentioned yet our trip to Sorrento last weekend. [...]
And I said, “Virg, why don’t we try this tiny toothpaste?”Posted by beth on October 20, 2009
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. [...]
Weekend UpdatePosted by beth on September 21, 2009
Buon giorno!!!!! Ok, first of all, I gave up on the rest of the Beth trivia because there wasn’t much participation, and my internet availability has been limited. Oh well. And now a few words on adaptation. So far, the biggest difference for me between my life in America and my life in Italy is [...]

Step By StepPosted by beth on September 14, 2009
Well, the hard part of leaving is over. I had my going away party on Saturday night, and it was LOTS of fun. For me at least. I hope it was fun for everyone else as well. At the very least, there was a lot of delicious food, and we played “Beth Trivia,” which involved [...]
How to close a chapter of life: Just make sure everything’s clean.Posted by beth on September 11, 2009
I’ve definitely been busy all day, but when I look back over the past several hours, I can point to exactly two things that have gotten done: article prep and laundry. The laundry is self-explanatory, and the article prep just means I did a lot of the preliminary internet research necessary to write a bunch [...]
Don’t Know Just What To Do With MyselfPosted 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 [...]
EntropyPosted by beth on August 19, 2009
I’m going to let y’all in on a little secret. Curly hair is disorderly, and you really have to know what you’re doing in order to keep it in line. Luckily, I’ve had a couple of decades to perfect my methods, and so far, I’m pleased with what I do. But for the past couple [...]
Back to School Never Felt So GoodPosted by beth on August 17, 2009
This is the kind of first week back to work I can handle, y’all, and I’ve only been off for a week, although it feels like a lot longer what with all the driving. I’m sure my feelings stem largely from the fact that I know I’m on my way out. I don’t have to [...]
RADurday Night!!!Posted by beth on August 15, 2009
You see? You see what happens when I don’t get my blogging done early? It doesn’t get done at all. I spend all day working on an article and chatting with various wonderful people and drinking tea and eating delicious, experimental, homemade, vegan food, and before you know it, it’s 2:00 in the morning, and [...]
