A camping I will go...

I am excited to go camping this week. We are leaving Wednesday for the Iron Range!

To be honest I have never really camped before. Yeah, I have done the over night thing in high school but there wasn't any sleeping involved more like spending the night outside drinking heavily. I am nervous about being outside for 4 nights. I don't handle humidity well so I am hoping if it is going to be hot that it won't be humid.

The Enforcer & my 2 year anniversary is Tuesday -- his gift is my agreeing to go along on this camping trip. I have made it perfectly clear that it should NOT be considered my gift!

So does anyone have any ideas on fun things to do while camping? We are bringing the 4wheeler & I am thinking books & magazines will entertain me for a couple days.

Good News

I was doing a little grocery shopping this afternoon -- my only ligitimate reason to leave the house these days -- & I received a phone call to set up an interview on Wednesday morning!!!

About time! I was getting a little depressed here.

So the job is for a position in my kids' school district close which is great b/c then I won't have to spend as much money on gas as I did before and the commute will be fabulous.

So all you bloggers cross your fingers for me -- I will keep you posted!

update

I have submitted countless resumes & completed numerous online applications. I have had one interview. :(



I have never had a problem finding a job before -- it is a little frustrating to say the least.



Enough about that.



So last week Thursday the Enforcer, the kids & I ventured to Colorado. We made a stop in Aberdaber to borrow my mom's car since it gets better gas mileage than the Durango. We left Aberdaber about 7am Friday and arrived in Ft. Collins, Co about 7pm.

The ex met us at the Denver airport Saturday morning about 7:15am where I said good-bye to my kiddies for the summer. There where no tears for them but there were for me. They will be in Cali until mid August.

The Enforcer & I went back to my friend's house took a nap then went to Rocky Mtn. National Park for the rest of the day. It is truly beautiful -- I wish that I could move to Co.

Sunday was by far & away the best day I have had in a long time. The Enforcer & I went white water rafting just north of Ft. Collins -- it was AWESOME! This was the first time to try this for both of us & we are hooked -- already researching where to go next.

Monday mid-morning we left and arrived in Aberdaber around midnight. Arrived home at dinner time on Tuesday.

So here is the question -- can anyone guess how much I spent on gas?
breakdown -
260 miles from home to Aberdaber
about 700 miles from Aberdaber to Ft. Collins

Lets just say I could have probably paid for them to fly all the way to Cali for what I paid -- however, I would have missed the rafting which was totally worth it.

So -- let me tell you I have found out quickly that being broke & bored is not an easy problem to solve.

Any ideas of things to do besides cleaning the house or doing yard work?
