Geocaching

I am a geek.  I would say what type of geek I am, but I'm a unique brand of it.  I hate sci-fi (books, movies, t.v.), but miss X-Files and Eureka.  I've never read a comic book, but freak out for the Marvel Comic Universe.  I haven't seen the latest and greatest movies, but I have a Netflix queue full of documentaries.  I read, but am late to the "trendy" books (Twilight, Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Gray.  Tbh haven't read 50 Shades or anything after Twilight.). I still rock my iPhone 4 (that I got a year after everyone else.)

I geocache, but I wouldn't call myself outdoorsy.  Geocaching.com was giving away a digital souvenir for every day that you log a found or event cache in the month of August.  So DirtyBlonde830 (her geocaching name) and I were hunting for a geocache every day. Midway through the month, I thought for sure I would have already beat my streak of consecutive days geocaching.  One day, I was looking for one to find this morning and I was wrong.  There was a stretch where I found a geocache every day for 17 days.

Quite honestly, I would have considered quitting if I had beaten my streak.  I'm tired.  School started and I have worked my butt off this summer getting stuff ready and I'm thinking I need a little bit more fun to end the summer and start the school year right.  Geocaching everyday was supposed to be part of that fun, but I was not enjoying the kinds of geocaches I'm was finding to try and maintain the streak.  Of course, part of that is the geocaches I'm looking for are park and grabs and I'm looking after dark so they need to be well-lit and in a safe neighborhood.  I need to start earlier, but I also need to do a ton of stuff in my room, work on lesson plans, and some school responsibilities.

Who knew having fun was so hard to schedule?
