Time to play a little catch up

I need to get in the habit of posting in my blog more often.  I've had a pretty satisfying week as far as my list is concerned.  I finished reading "The Last Song".  Now, we can safely assume judging by my movie reviews that a book review coming from me isn't going to do anyone much good.  What I can tell you is that I liked it.  If you are a fan of any other Nicholas Sparks books this one won't disappoint.  I cant wait to see the movie!
Thursday I went thrift shopping with Krissy in search of the legs I've been looking for.  I want these legs for the cat bed I wanna make.  I finally found some that I'm pretty sure will work well.  Now to do some experimenting with the dremel to see if this is a project I can get done in an apartment...
When we left the thrift store we did a little geocaching around Sacramento.  We were able to find four of them.  I think I've got her addicted to geocaching now. Who's next?

Now for a couple less interesting notes...

I sold my kindle on amazon! Im very happy for the price i was able to get for it.  That puts me a hefty chunk forward on my goal of paying ourselves back for the iPad.  (from 29.7% to 55.8%)

And while we're on the topic, the iPad is here!!!!! Absolutely amazing. It will take many many uses to fully discover the capabilities of this thing.  I typed this whole blog post from the iPad.

Oh, and I got my coloring book. ;-)

I'm sure I'll never grow too old for toys

I stopped at Thrifttown yesterday to look for furniture I can dismantle.  I am particularly looking for the perfect legs for a suitcase that will be turned to a cat bed.  Instead, I found a bag full of Geocaching goodies!  (For more about what geocaching is all about, watch this video on YouTube)  I broke open the bag tonight and there was some really neat stuff in there.  Lots of tiny toys that will fit perfectly in caches.  I'm really tempted to keep some of them, but hubby says 'no'.  I'm sure I'll find lots of things that are just as neat while I'm doing my geocaching, so I suppose I can let these ones go make someone else happy.  :)

I'm going to start reading The Last Song tonight.  I'm a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, but this one has taken me a bit to get around to.  I'm really hoping it holds up to my expectations, I've been wanting to dig in to a good novel.
