Let’s imagine that I decide that I cannot tolerate Alex sticking his pointy elbow in my eyeball while we share a full size bed. Don’t believe me that it’s true? Here’s a haiku from a very old post to prove it: ABOUT SHARING A FULL SIZE BED North Korea invades Peace treaty not an option Sharp elbow attacks. -Alex It’s no … Continue reading

Hey There, Little Guy
Would you like to see my favorite piece of art? First, here’s the back story: I saw it about a year ago at the Dallas Museum of Art. Unfortunately, as soon as I left the room, I forgot the artist and the name. I scoured the internet for it, but to no avail (mostly because … Continue reading
Tick Attack: Betcha Can’t Eat Just One
If anyone can locate the actual TicTac slogan, feel free to let me know. I couldn’t find it after seconds of searching on wikipedia, so it’s obviously not on the internet. Gracie (my dog) and I had a rough morning on Thursday. My mornings are supposed to be full of waxing on about andragogy and … Continue reading
Repost: Sitting Naked Around a Table
(originally posted November 24, 2010) I’ve been having recurring dreams for the last few weeks. It’s not recurring like falling dreams or being chased by a mobster dream. My recent visions all have the same theme, if you will. Lately, dream Beth has been dropped into a social situation, missing an important part of clothing. Think- meeting the president while not wearing … Continue reading
Repost: Eat it, Materialism

2011: A Year in Review
Hello friends and family- If you were breathlessly checking your mailbox every day for a Christmas letter from Alex and Beth, you can breathe now. Here it is….in all its glory. Don’t get me wrong. I love sending people mail but I just bought replacement ink for our printer after months of us talking about … Continue reading
Pride Cometh in The Fall
I don’t have alot of embarassing moments-mostly because, in yet another trait I get from my fahter, I’m not usually self-aware enough to be embarassed when I should. For example, I should have been embarassed when I wore a white shirt and khaki pants every day for at least six weeks in middle school, but … Continue reading
I’m in love. I’m in love. And I don’t care who knows it.
(Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. For his birthday present, I did not publicize (much) the fact that it is his birthday (since he hates celebrating it). But today, I am free to do as I please and I have decided to repost this blog. For those of you that don’t know, Alex and I met in late … Continue reading

You know that “I’m not being recognized for my efforts here” feeling you get in the pit of your stomach. It could really be in any part of your life- friends that ignore your nice guestures, bosses that deny the fact you’re doing good work, boys that refuse to like you even though you’re clearly in … Continue reading
