You geocache, I will watch mindless t.v.

Ever heard of GEOCACHING?  Yeah, me either. 

Geocaching, according to the geocaching people is this.....a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers using GPS enabled devices, and then share their experiences online. 

I was given a short lesson on all this information yesterday, because Paul has taken an interest in it. 

See that mess all over the map? Those are caches ( I think that's how you describe it) all waiting to be found.

On Saturday, Paul was meeting up with some friends to do some searching, and the ORIGINAL plan was for me to be there as well. But once I ventured outside and felt the temperature, I suddenly had a heart change. I'm all for doing most anything, even if I find if yawntastic, but I want the elements to be in my favor. So with a nod of approval, I sent them out without me.

Apparently the kids LOVED it.

Loved being outdoors, loved the searching, and even getting a few treasures in the mix.

And an opportunity to spend time with their outdoor loving daddy, is always a winner in my book.

And I had an opportunity to do something, I RARELY ever do.

Sit on my bum for two hours, ALONE, and watch t.v.!!

I am not a big t.v. person anymore. When I have spare time, I am usually either listening to music or messing around on the computer, so the idea of just sitting and watching t.v., well, it kind of excited me!

 

I settled in with a blankie, and set out to be entertained.

I started with some Paula Deen....

Who made me crave cupcakes. How sweet do those look?

Then I moved to CHOPPED, which made me think of my mother-in-law.

I kind of got bored, so then I tried out a dance show, but this bored me because of the yapping judges....

And then, I SUNK to levels of low I should not admit.

Oh yes, I did.

Then it dawned on me why I don't watch much t.v., because it stinks. So I tried to play a little DrawSomething, but everyone left me hanging, which I'm REALLY trying to not take as a personal attack on my skillz. 

 And then I was so bored I decided to hack Paul's FB, which I have never done. Apparently boredom brings out the childish behavior in me.

Seriously, I was just bored after 2 hours!! Sure, I had plenty of busy things I could have done, but I was just being lazy, and found myself actually wishing I was geocaching in the 40 degree weather. 

Thankfully, I was finally saved by one of my all time favorite movies, You've Got Mail!!

And even better? My family was finally back home to watch some of it with me.

Next time, I'm joining the fun, even if it's snowing.
