  • An Anniversary

    How long were you married? Nine years. Oh. But we were together almost 17… OH! As if the length of time is a measurement of how much sympathy a person should garner. “She only knew him 1/5 of her life – one can hardly form attachments in such a short span. Oh, about 1/3 you…

  • How Do You Do It?

    When someone passes away, amidst all the love, a lot of questions come out.  I thought about ranking them in the degrees by which they annoy me, but that seemed a tad harsh.  People are curious, you can’t fault them for that (well, you could), and for the most part they’re not trying to be…

  • On Christmas

    On Christmas Day 2016 midnight passed without the traditional, “Happy Birthday! I love you!” declaration. I didn’t incoherently mumble back, “I love you more.” When I finally decided to drag myself out of bed, no one snored peacefully beside me while I was brimming in the delight of the day, and an overfilled stocking with…

  • A Babbling State of the Beth

    I’m back, at least for a moment or two, and I’m going to write some general randomness, babble a bit, and there will probably be a tiny rant.  Hopefully in there will be a lot of love, because I do have that for a group of people who have been completely amazing. Saturday we had…

  • Sass: Part 2

    Me: “That’s right, I mocked you on my blog!!!” Jay in high-pitched, what I assume to be his Beth voice: “OH NOOOOOOOO! I didn’t write A Farewell to Arms on my first try!!” And then he cackled.  CACKLED!!! I am abused!

  • Sass

    When your husband says something like, “yes, just like most authors you didn’t write a masterpiece the first time.” WHAT?!?!  The abuse I deal with!!  Now I must put my hand to my head and dramatically fall onto the couch (right after I fire him again).

  • Quiznos vs. BSG

    Speaking of all things geeky, I don’t know if any of you happened to watch Battlestar Galactica’s Razor episode, but without going into a lengthy critique of the show (or my disappointment that really none of the Pegasus crew were redeemable in my eyes) – I just want to say: I am officially boycotting Quiznos.…
