The great outdoors

With all this beautiful weather, I've gotten all anxious to go backpacking again. Following Chandle's lead, Jeremy and I went to Gander Mountain, the Wal-Mart of outdoor supplies (PS, the FIREARM section was the busiest in the store. I was frightened). I bought an inflatable sleep pad, a compression sack (so I can make all my clothes and hoodies shrink down to this big ), and new hiking boots! That's right- hiking boots. I'm pumped. They were originally $85, and I got them for like $35. They feel like tennis shoes, and they're very exciting. SO.... going camping soon. Just as soon as I figure out a weekend to go. Gotta use my new gear, yo!
Weekend was good- Trevor's bday party was quite fun (and tasty!) at the Oyster Bar (deeeelish pie, Brooke). People are still finding our cache that we made. Still waiting for you guys to find it! :) Jump on the bandwagon!

PS-- ooh, ooh! My beloved Marti Noxon co-wrote those last episodes of Grey's (read the Grey Matter blog over there.....)! Let's hope she stays.

Oh, I'm so in! (for camping, that is). I hope we can all find a weekend that allows us ALL to go. It will be a blast.

I wanna go! It's been so pretty lately. Horray for hiking boots.
