Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Cost: $40 + tax Time: approx. 2.5 hours Website description: Monkido tree courses are elevated obstacle courses set in a beautiful forest and securely suspended in the trees at 10 to 60 feet off the ground! Elements include a Tarzan Swing, zip lines, scramble nets and swinging logs. (picture is also from the website) This was my first time in about 10 years doing an obstacle course, so I was really excited/nervous. I’m a bit scared of heights, so I thought this would be a really good thing for me to do. (That’s also why I like climbing mountains so much!) … Continue reading →

Last night I went to a friend’s house for a BBQ. There was nothing else on, so she forced me to watch The Last Song on her laptop with her. I absolutely cannot stand Miley Cyrus. And also, it was literally the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. But do you want to know what the most horrifying part of the entire night was?

My sister has never been to an NHL game before, … Continue reading →

I don’t even really know where we’re going, just that it’s east of my house by about 1.5 hours? Budget: $10 camping fee $25 food (2x breakfast, 2x lunch, 2x dinner + snacks) $15 fire wood $30 booze $20 gas TOTAL = $100 It’s more than I’d usually pay for a weekend of camping with BF (we never have fires or bring booze), but a camping trip with the … Continue reading →

Sad that the weekend is over. :( Saturday was fabulous weather to drive down to Seattle for a baseball game. BF had too much work to do and had to go into work, so he gave me $$ for his ticket (we had to pay back my friend who bought the tickets) & his share of the gas money. It was a great game, the Mariners lost (woo hoo!), and we all had a lot of fun. I only ended up paying to fill up on gas in Blaine (in Canada it costs me $40 to fill up my tank, … Continue reading →
