Another uneventful weekend.

Saturday I went geocaching with Debbie and Jason. Its kind of like a high-tech treasure hunt. You go to a web site and you get GPS coordinates for a hidden "cache" and then you head out into the brush to find the item -- using your GPS to hone in on the exact location within about 10 feet. Then, you just look around. We found things in trees, behind logs, etc. When you find the cache, you take a prize, sign a guest book, and leave a prize behind. Anyway, we did this murder mystery set of caching, where we found 5 items with the coordinates from the web site. And then each of those 5 gave us a clue for the coordinates of the sixth site, which we then trekked through the woods to find. I was muddy and covered in thorns after trying to find some of these things. It was fun. And more than a little nerdy.

Sunday I wanted to go test drive Jeeps. But, it seems that car dealerships in Texas are closed on Sunday. How weird. In case you are wondering, I am not quite ready to buy a new car, mostly 'cause I still feel too poor for that, but I want to be prepared since my car has started to give up the ghost (it squeeks, it shakes when I exceed 30 mph, it hums, its loud, and the check engine light is permanently on -- in other words, its about to blow up as far as I can tell.) Plus I'm jealous of my brother's brand spanking new car he got for Christmas. Anyway, I really really wanted a convertable, but the ones in my price range can't tow boats (though I do love the VW bug convertible). This leave the convertable truck - the Jeep Wrangler. So, I wanted to try that out. I want a car I'm going to love, and I can't picture myself loving a station wagon/hatchback or an SUV very much. And definitely not another sedan.

I also went on a massive organization kick. I purged all my files. I put things in storage tupperware. I cleaned out my desk. I also packed up all my Christmas decorations (putting them up is SO much more fun than taking them down). I feel very prepared for the new year. Go me!
