Geocaching


I am increasingly enjoying the vast array of things available to me through the Internet.  Most notably, the Google word processor, available online.  It works similarly to a blog/desktop hybrid and I’m still checking it out.  Netbooks become far more viable when you can have that kind of storage space available to you.  Of course, without an Internet connection, you’re screwed.

This past week, I have been working on a multi-stage geocache.  Honestly (and somewhat bluntly), I have not been too impressed with the caches I’ve found around the area.  So this is something to fix that.

Discovery:  Kate Micucci.  Found her on Scrubs – and she’s awesome.  Just check out her band, Garfunkel & Oates (NSFP).

So, she’s got that going for her.

Well, geocaching has been a bit of a bust this week.  Thankfully, the community is very friendly and The Limey Guys are helping us with a covered-in-snow multi cache.  Which is good, because it is covered in snow.

Yesterday we went out with Fanugler and we had a good time, despite the lack of finds.  Fanugler brought along his little micro cacher which was fun.  We had visited them the night before and gotten to play with the little guy a lot.  He is a husky baby, but not fatter than any other.  He’s just very well-built.  And very strong.

It was nice to give Sam her baby fix for a while.  Sometimes she really wants one and sometimes I really want one, but we need to wait, of course.  We aren’t even sure if its safe for Sam to get pregnant.  Which would be okay since we plan on adopting most of our kiddos.  I think I could handle all of them, but we would like one baby so we can experience all that.

Anyway, we also saw the camp folk on Wednesday.  Dan, Lori, Kate, and Kevin.  Kevin will be playing soccer so I showed him the various ways to put on the shin pads and cleats.  He’s a very good little kicker.  I whacked his shin a few times and he smiled and said “I don’t even feel it!”  I am very excited to return and see him more often.

In bad news:  We are still having trouble getting our stupid loan through.

In good news:  If we do, I might be able to get back to camp in May, just working for room and board.  I would be fine with that, for sure.  I curse credit cards and all they stand for because we are going to be late this month.  I have never been late on a credit card.  But if we make it to the summertime, we will be fine.  And we will certainly be better budgeters.

Here I am, complaining.  I said I wouldn’t!  I also said that was a lie, so I think it’s okay.

I can’t wait to get back here for a longer period.
