Wow, 2 months and here I am again :)

This was the day of my surgery, yes the day that I had my gallbladder taken out. Doing great, though have been overdoing it and not resting as I should be and I am sure tomorrow I am going to pay for it, but that is just me. LOL

Yesterday, the kids, TESKELLY, Teddy2K, titelines, and I went geocaching after TESKELLY, Teddy2K and titelines did their 10K walk (or was it 13K/16K?) ah I forget...lol
We has a lot of fun and even got three FTF's in while doing some caching.
I won't be caching for about a week but will be getting right back into it once recovered you can count on that :) and I will remember to log them all (I hope) (yes I still have over 70+ to log)

Here are some pictures of our day....enjoy :)


BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER hee hee




WATCHING THE KIDS DO
ALL THE WORK
(but they were just letting the kids

CHARLIE BROWN: HERE'S YOUR PUMPKIN!



THE CHILLIWACK MIGHTY DUCKS :)

Our wonderful view up on the mountain at one of the caches in Tulameen

OH MY...
I just realized that I am 7 caches away from 800...I think maybe it is time to log some of the 70+ I still need to log...lol
I am so bad right now. With school starting and then Hallowe'en and I just got back into sketching again, I haven't logged them.
Well I am going to do that right now....so be on the look out because those stats are going to go up. LOL

This is Milly at one of the caches in Tulameen

Oh wait, I know why I stopped. I think I am at the Tulameen caches and I need to find my book. :)
I had a book with me and I wrote down my experience at each cache...so I could put it in the log :)
Yup that would be it....so I guess it is off to find the book ...
One of the locals...hee hee - nah it is just Teddy2K after a day of riding on the Quad.

Road Kill - well still alive that is :) aren't they cute? hee hee

BCGA AGM

and I am running for Secretary or Director at Large :)

This is my second year running for secretary, and I hope I get in this year. I pray I get in this year...lol
I thought maybe I would be a shoe in, but Sharon was nominated yesterday, so now I have someone running against me.
I know I have the qualifications, many years of them, it is just that I am not that popular with many people and sometimes I wonder if it takes popularity to win the votes? Oh well I guess we will see on Saturday.
So wish me luck :)

So it has been like forever and ever since I have posted here. It seems like that long since I have gone caching to.
I guess I should spit it out...I am at a fork in the road.
I love geocaching with a passion, but awhile ago I had a bad experience and it got worse and then it got a little better and then it just got worse again so I just decided to back away a bit.

I have a condition and unfortunately things bother me a little more than others and it is harder for me to let things go or let them slide off my shoulders...also depends on who the person is who is doing or saying these things. Crazy I know. I also have 3 herniated discs in my back, syatica in my right leg all the way to my toes and my knees have just about had it. But seriously, that doesn't stop me from going for a FTF in the snow. :)

Anyhow, I just find that some people are either too competetive or too negative for my taste and unfortunately when I go to log my finds and read a negative or abusive log it really bothers me. Sure it bothers me more to have someone do that to me, but hey, whatever, but to have to read it on other peoples' logs to? Ya it just makes me wonder why I even bother, cause seriously...
I still have over 70+ logs to log and that is one reason it has taken me this long to do so. Sad I know. I miss going geocaching. I remember going to an event and it was sad to see that about 4 people stood there and chatter while the rest of the cachers participated...it really irked me. Funny thing was it was the same people/person who writes the negative posts :(

Anyhow...I decided that I need to get some pictures up and keep this going, so I gotta get caught up, cause seriously now, I have tons and tons of pictures and tons and tons of stuff to tell ya :P
So, I am off to pick up the kids but I shall return :)

OK OK....I am updating....lol
Sorry I have taken so long

I am working my way up to 1,000 caches by my anniversary date in April of 2009
Right now I am 11 away from 700...so that would mean 311 caches to do in a month in a half. I wonder if that could be done. Actually wasn't there someone who did over 300 caches in a weekend or was that in one day? LOL

I have so many things to catch up on regarding events that we have been to and caches we have adventured...you name it. Thank goodness for my smilebox creations as it makes it so much easier to get the pictures up without having to organize them all. LOL

Well on Saturday we have an event here in Abbotsford. I am going to be talking about Travel Bugs and Coins.
GEOCACHING 101 - Abbotsford
I will tell you now...I am petrified. I may be a social person, but when you put me up in front of a crowd to speak, I just about throw up and I panic....really panic. It is so bad that I get the shakes. It is weird....lol

On Sunday we are going to go into town and check out the Coquitlam event.
GEOCACHING 101 - Coquitlam

I have decided!!!!!
I shall change the background.
Stay tuned!!!!!

I am thinking about changing the background as I think it is hard to read with the sun on the water behind the words.
I am ready to update, but wanted to change it before hand....only problem is when I change it, I loose all of my right hand info...so I have to re-do it. That isn't my concern...it is my followers I worry about.
So what do you think? Keep it as is? or change it?
Not sure if you all find it hard to read like me, so thought I would ask before I make any change .

thanks
