Thursday Thirteen: Greatest(?) Hits

  13 Searches That Found My Blog   It sucks that I know most of these are image searches, but hey, eyeballs are eyeballs right? Throw enough of them against the wall and one or two are bound to stick, right? Ok, with these searches, probably not. And that’s just a gross image. *grin* I…

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…

Into The Woods

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….

Balancing Act

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…

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day to everyone in the States! We’re having Bacon Cheddar Burgers, Watergate Salad, Broccoli Salad, Macaroni Salad, probably some chicken and/or shrimp thrown on the grill as well. We’ve often gone down to sit at the intersection across from our high school to see the local fireworks display, but we realized last year…

Opaque

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…

Back for a bit…

It’s a crazy time at our house. We just spent the weekend camping with the Cub Scouts. We had mosquitoes galore, a missing piece of our grill (no fire! ok, we borrowed a stove from someone else), and a loud noisy pack across the road from us that decided to use their bullhorn and ring…

The Dress

This is the infamous “dress” that has been keeping me busy and not writing lately. I started laying out the fabric and pinning the pattern to it on last Saturday morning and finished hemming the skirt on Monday afternoon. You can’t see the slip I also made to help poof the skirt out for her…

Tagged! Twice!

Life’s been crazy again with all the end of the school year stuff going on. The monsters are in school until June 12th, and you better believe I’m counting the days. Why does life always have to happen at once? Hrm. Seems while I wasn’t looking, I got tagged twice. Ok… catching up with those…

A little knowledge…

… is a dangerous thing. Maybe this is what Andi and Bria were getting at when they asked if I thought too much craft info stuffed in my head was a bad thing<tm>. I admit I was pretty bored with the workshop on Saturday as the nuts and bolts were gone over. It’s a good…
