Camp Blogaway - Yes or No?

Something finally came along and kicked my cooking and my blogging laziness out of the way - Camp Blogaway! Yes, I have almost officially decided to go. "Almost" because my feet are still somewhat cold (isn't social anxiety just such a blast?) and "almost" because I haven't officially registered yet. Getting to LAX from Albuquerque is expensive, and getting to the recommended airport, Ontario, is even pricier! And, keeping in tune with the typical 'screw you' nature of the airline industry, airfare for my trip jumped from $200 to $320 overnight! Lovely. From the Camp Blogaway site: Take a Refreshing Hike, use Free Time to meet-up under peaceful pines, chat by the Roaring Fireplace, stay up late with peers in our Mountain Lodge, socialize with newfound friends during Wente Vineyards Wine Tastings, and more. *So Fun!*  Our first evening together, every attendee is introduced to the full group. The goal: no missed meetups at Camp!

Bad Albuquerque!

In our neighborhood, there is a group that comes by once a month to pick up donations for charity. Sexy Nerd and I gathered up a little of everything they were requesting - kitchen appliances, sheets, cutlery, blankets, clothes, shoes, etc. - and left our donation on the curb. We had 6 large boxes for charity, clearly marked with the bright orange pick-up tab we'd received in the mail. The donations were picked up. Great, right? Our donations were picked up by the wrong people. They were STOLEN! What kind of loser goes around stealing from charity? Perhaps the next time donations are being collected, we should leave a great, big box of dog poop.
