3 random bits of information!

1) For those of you with GPS systems.....have you ever heard of "Geo-caching"? I hadn't heard of it until my friend Emily told me. You can go to www.geocaching.com to find out more about this adventure, but here is a brief run down. People with GPS systems have hidden "caches" all over the world. You go to the website and you can find out where all the caches have been hidden close to you or anywhere. I was baffled that this has been going on all around us. The website will give you coordinates to the "caches" and you punch them into your GPS and then you try to find the hidden treasures. You can find all sorts of things and then you return to the website to log in what you find, etc. You can even hide your own. We haven't done this yet as a family, but it sounds like a lot of fun! Supposedly there is one hidden near a large tree right outside our neighborhood!! If you have never heard of this, I encourage you to check it out. I can't wait for us to start "geo-caching"!

2) Another silly website to check out for a good laugh is www.looterguy.com
My friend who was in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina sent this to me recently.
I don't remember hearing about him, so I got a big kick out of it when I looked at the website. Make sure you click on "Who is Looter Guy" to find out about him.
Then check out the photo gallery where people have photoshopped his face into various photos!

3) I am addicted to another website: www.addictinggames.com
Yes....it is truly addicting. Under puzzles, I like playing Text Twist, The Bubble Game, and Majhong (however you spell it)

Maybe I am just addicted to the computer.....I just spent 10 minutes talking about 3 different websites. I wonder what I could have gotten done if I wasn't sitting here?
Ha!

You probably could have been cleaning the house. Ironing pants for your husband. Planning supper.
