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!

Reading Spree

It looks like I forgot to update my 2009 Reading List for the last month or so. I’ve kept up to date on Goodreads.com, so it was easy enough to do. I was surprised to see I’d easily sailed past the number of books I recalled reading in 2008(79) and have read 87 books so…

Happy Holidays!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and that your holiday season is merry and bright! I’m going to be visiting with family for the next couple of weeks, and as you see today’s Regency Primer post wasn’t done in time and I might not get one next week, but they will…

Ruts Suck

ByKristen Koster

I think my parents messed up when I was born. My middle name should have been ‘procrastination’ instead of what they wrote down on the form at the hospital. Unfortunately, even knowing that the longer something is put off the harder it becomes to start doesn’t seem to prevent me from falling into those same…

Happy Labor Day

ByKristen Koster

On Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, the Central Labor Union held their first demonstration and picnic. The third year, the date was set for the first Monday in September. As labor organizations spread, so did the idea. By 1894, 23 states had adopted holidays to celebrate the working man and Congress passed…

Mid-Nov WTH?

This is the weather forecast I was greeted with for the week when I sat down this morning. Sixty-four to eighty-seven? I foresee another round of colds and nonsense in the near future. *sigh* It’s bad enough I haven’t really seen seasons in action for the past dozen years or so, but do we have…

Thursday Thirteen: No Time!

  13 Things I don’t have time for today…   1. Finishing the short story I’m working on. I’m about halfway there and man, it’s kicking my butt every sentence. 2. Doing laundry. 3. Cleaning out all the junk mail in my inbox. 4. Cleaning out all the non-junk mail from mailing lists I’m normally…

  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.
