Camping Trip

Oh yeah, that's right - Joshua and I went camping this weekend!
This camping trip was out first - and it was a success!!

I grilled pork chops, Joshua built a cozy fire, and we relaxed all weekend!

We did figure out that there are a few things that we'll be bringing next time that we did not include in this trip, but it was still awesome!!

Next time, we're going to even bring kayaks! That'll definitely be interesting - and a lot of fun!!

It was nice for us to get out and not have to worry about anything but each other. I do know one thing, we need more camping gear. We borred everything from a portable grill to a tent from our parents.

But it was worth it!!! :)

Trip to a theme park = too much, we've never been. (We both want to though!)
Going to the movies = $6 (for both of us, because we go to the inexpensive place).
Camping = Free; Few People; Relaxing; Gorgeous!!

My New Phone -- LG VX9400 Review

Remember how I was telling you all that I bought a new phone eBay?

Well, I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and guess what? I love it.

*It takes really good pictures, the quality is beautiful - especially as opposed to my old phone.

*When I'm using it to make calls, I can hear people clearly.

*It's fast with internet.

*I have a black hard case on it. But my-oh-my, I forgot that it was in my pocket and went to get out of my car, it fell - HARD. It didn't even scratch my cover.

*It's small enough to fit in my pockets, but big enough that I don't easily misplace it.

*Light weight.

I really enjoy using this phone. I've had a few people ask me if I could find them one, too. :) So I'm on the prowl. :) :)

I did not receive any form of payment or product(s) for this post. The opnions expressed here are 100% my own.

Garden Swap at ENGINE3

Julie over at ENGINE3 as decided to host a Garden Swap! No, you're not going to send your garden - haha, I know, I'm a loser. But what you will do is send gardening stuff to your partner!!

Who: Anyone - the more the merrier.

What: You & your partner will each send one another a package of gardening goodies (i.e. flowers, garden tools, etc.)

When: Sign up NOW through the 12th.
Swap Date: April 26th.

There will be a $20 spending limit (not including shipping). If you're interested in participating, you can leave your e-mail address on my blog on this post and I'll pass it along OR you can go straight on over to Julie's Site: CLICK HERE TO GO TO HER SIGN UP PAGE!!

This is Julie's first swap - show her some support. :)

So, I've been thinking...

It's a lot of fun hosting swaps. I've found that I really enjoy hosting them. Although, unfortunately, I can't afford to participate in them anymore, I like being able to help others have the fun of swaps!

I'll be trying to hold swaps every month or two, mainly for major holidays, but for other things too. I'll be holding one for the 4th of July, so keep an eye out in May or June. :)

Also, if there's a swap theme that you'd like for me to host, please don't hesitate to ask - I promise to do my best. Just shoot me any ideas that you may have.

I'll try any type of swap at least once: gardening, holidays, cooking, adult - whatever. Just ask. (Haha, Joshua always says "I'll try anything twice - just in case the first time goes bad."

To tell me your idea, you can leave a comment or e-mail me at jerricapuck(at)yahoo(dot)com -- but please be sure to fill in the Subject as "Swaps for your blog" or "Swap Ideas" so that I know the message isn't spam.

Saturday 9: #16

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Hurts So Good

1. Tell us about the last time you really got hurt.
Truthfully, I don't even remember.

2. What's your oldest possession?
I have a few stuffed animals that I've had ever since I was really little, so probably them.

3. Do you have any phobias?
I don't like clowns - but I'm not scared of them. So I suppose that I don't.

4. What values did your parents instill in you?
They've instilled a lot of values into me that I try to keep in mind. :) In my opinion, my parents did a great job -- not to toot my own horn or anything. ;)

5. What are your plans for Easter?
I'm not totally sure yet, but I believe that Joshua and I will be going camping Saturday night.

6. I like sun more than snow.
Absolutely. Snow is pretty, but it just doesn't beat the sun.

7. Tell us about 3 fads from your teenage years.
I'm only 19, but I really am not sure. I don't think I've really had any.

8. Tell us what is the most important attribute in a lover.
There are so many but trust & respect are at the top of my book.

9. What new piece of technology have you resisted buying and what would it take for you to change your mind?
The iPad, uhm - it'd take a ton of money and a lot more knowledge - I can't stand things like that.

Aloha Friday #14

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life – The home of Aloha Friday. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My Question:

Do you enjoy camping or is it something that never really crosses your mind?

My Answer:

I actually like to camp a lot - I get a little scared, truth be told - but I love it!! Joshua and I may be going camping this weekend. :)
