The pair of you have made me laugh


My map readings naff. If i get asked to look on the map to see how far such and such is i'll look and say "About 1" ", and they can work out how many miles from that

That actually sounds like a lot of fun (to me, admittedly). I might do some of that next summer - my brother and I planning on going on a road trip.

(BTW - I gotta ask - how many pushups do they make you doing for failing that? Morbid curiousity.)

He'd give me 20. I'd roll my eyes and tell him to shut up. Then I'd try to look cute.

I've always wanted to try that! And my brother has a GPS unit, so maybe I can talk him into it one of these days.

Be sure to take pictures and tell us all about your adventure!

So what you are telling me is that you have little faith in my ability to say no to the man in my life?
















You are so right by the way.

But beware of the Snipes - they are sneaking birds in the dark.
You are so wrong!! Lets see, don't you go hunting for those in the middle of the night with a paper bag or something?
I don't remember how to hunt for snipes! Do you remember the secret?

Just what she needs to hear!

Hey, I've always thought that would be fun. If you were rich and used it as an excuse to go globetrotting to find "treasure" that is.

Hmmmmm....I remember going snipe hunting when I was back in Girl Scout camp. I remember flashlights, paper bags and trying to not make any noise. Yeah....20 pre-teen girls in the woods at night and not making noise?

Yes, there are probably badgers in Ohio. I know we have them here in the middle of Michigan. They're kind of cute, but they are known to be a pretty nasty critter to get cornered.

That GPS thing doesn't sound like fun to me at all. I think I'd rather go snipe hunting with a bunch of pre-teen girls!

Now, I'm not looking forward to this. The last time we went on an adventure like this we ended up in the middle of a corn field yelling at each other. The ominous trend in this one is that it involves a techno-gaget. I'd also like to give you some back ground. My husband failed land navigation in the Army. That's right. He failed. Meaning that I am incharge of the techo-gaget.

Oh, he also said he's going to get a stick to protect me from badgers. Are there even badgers in Ohio?
I LOVE this! My family does it all the time! It is GREAT exercise too by the way! I am NOT an outdoorsy person BUT I look forward to the exercise and family bonding. It does test your relationship though
My mom and dad argue a lot about where to go also and my sister and BIL have started but it's all good and fun
If you ahve any questions, please feel free to PM me. I'm in OH too so I can help a lot!

I may just have to PM you. The more my husband gets excited about it the more I realize I'm going to have to give in.


He is SO taking me shoe shopping! Oh and bra shopping too!
