Gone to the Beach

DH came home from a business trip this morning and we snuck out of town a little after 6pm. Traffic wasn’t too bad except for the border patrol check point in San Onofre which began moving promptly again at precisely 7:30 pm. Illegal immigrants must abide by the holiday schedule as well, you see.

So we’re all settled in and looking forward to a couple of carefree days. Have a great weekend!

Target Word Count

ByKristen Koster

This week my accountability group’s How I Write series asks, “When you’re writing, do you have a wordcount in mind that you HAVE to stick to? What’s your happy WIP word zone? If you don’t have enough, do you try to add more to reach it?” I’m going to tackle this week’s question two different…

Into The Woods

ByKristen Koster

Last night, we took the kids to see “Into the Woods” at the Starlight Theatre here in Balboa Park. We’ve been there several times and I’d never realized there was an outdoor ampitheatre there. Apparently, the theatre has been a San Diego tradition for over 40 years. The seats are darned uncomfortable, but that’s expected….

Slow Return to Normalcy

ByKristen Koster

We just received news that 20 staff and over 340 students in the Poway school district have lost their homes. Staggering news. In order to get the community back into normal routines, they have canceled the half week off school next week for Parent/Teacher conferences. Guess it’s a good thing we hadn’t planned a trip…

Eliza Hamilton Dress: Another ‘Historical’ Pattern

ByKristen Koster

Once again, I’ve been scrambling to finish a costume for my eldest, an Eliza Hamilton dress and it managed to pull me away from both writing and social media for a while. Long-time readers of the blog may recall the purple widow’s dress I made for a 5th grade presentation using the Simplicity colonial dress…

Opaque

ByKristen Koster

Last night we dumped the kids at the martial arts studio’s beach party and went downtown to eat at Opaque, one of those dining in the dark places. We were early for our reservations, so we sat in the lobby of the local W hotel and drank $10 cocktails. The décor there was cool with…

Balancing Act

ByKristen Koster

Time-Management, Procastination and Perfectionism. Ok, I’m trying not to whine or moan here, but galatic forces have been pushing me to think about how these are related. Yes, Bria and Andi can now consider themselves part of the galatic forces. I don’t know if there’s a uniform or even a t-shirt, sorry. The Acountability Corner…

  1. Border checkpoint? Then I’m guessing you went to Mexico? Hope it was a great long weekend. 🙂

    1. Actually, we went north to Huntington Beach, Ca. And yes, 68 miles north of the US/Mexican border, they have a weigh station where the border patrol agents do a look-see into all northbound vehicles on the I-5 interstate. I guess they figure they get a second chance once people relax an hour past the border on their way up to LA.

      It just cracks me up that at precisely 7:30 Friday night, they were off the clock and traffic suddenly started moving again.
