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….
13 Things I’ve Learned as a Diva I’ve been a member of the Romance Divas for a year now. I was looking for information on writing and found this place last summer as I was just starting to get serious about trying this writing thing again. I knew I had a lot to…
Well, I gave in and wiped the harddrive on the laptop after trying just about every method known to man to try to get any files off it. The file system was completely hosed. Reinstalling the OS and upgrading to Leopard and then reinstalling Office and Adobe’s Creative Suite took way too long. I’m still…
Frustration levels are still high. I picked up a firewire cable because you can start it up in target mode and use it a hard drive for another firewire capable mac. I can SEE the laptop’s hard drive on the desktop of my G4 (most of the time). Problems start when I try to open…
13 Things That Irritated Me Today Sorry, no pretty pictures today. I’m stuck on my old, slow desktop and I now get why my kids complain when I tell them they can use it to look up something instead of commandeering my laptop when I’m trying to use it. *grumble* 1. My laptop…
I messed up. I thought DD’s day camp started TODAY. Good thing I checked the information packet before driving off to drop her off this morning. It’s only 4 days this year and starts tomorrow. DOH! So the kids are upset with me for getting them up so early for no good reason and getting…
Have I mentioned that Joss Whedon is evil? In a completely adorable teddy-bear way. His twists and turns astonish and he’s never one to shy away from a little conflict, external or internal. We’ve been watching Buffy again from the beginning with DD and some of the little things sprinkled in early on are jaw-dropping….
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…
13 Things to be Puttin’ on the Ritz I found the coolest thing at the grocery store yesterday. I know I paid too much for it, but it made sense for our house. You know how Ritz crackers come in those huge sleeves that are supposed to feed like 10 people? Ok, so…
It’s time to talk and think about conflict again. I just noticed the last time I touched on this topic was March. I should have paid more attention to it then and maybe I wouldn’t be such a tight corner now. The craft books keep hammering on how you need to have conflict to make…
