GISHWHESing Away

So GISHWHES is over.

It was hard this time. First of all, the friend I always do it with was out of the country.

So I had to try and find others to pinch in with me. That meant I wasn’t able to do as much as I would have liked.

I also got sick

And my phone broke: which made it so I couldn’t do the things I needed to, I couldn’t contact anyone, and I had to redo an item.

And then when I tried to upload a video, youtube wouldn’t process it.

Argh!

But now it is over.

I had a lot of fun with it. I put E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in Jello. (Which was really hard, heavy, and took ALL DAY! 😦

Sorry E.T, you are going nowhere!

I painted seven rocks with encouraging words on them and left them in areas that are in need of hope. They looked really cool! My favorite, of course, was this one:

I turned a grocery cart into a spaceship and helped an “alien” collect specimens.

I also dressed up as a Ghostbuster and took care of a pesky ghost at my local library.

That’s how I roll

Made a child’s idea of happiness come true.

Broke a rule

Made my own Scavenger Hunt list

Created cars out of boxes and did human nascar. This was fun, I made a Herbie, the Love Bug:

The 1966 Batmobile (Adam West TV show):

The 1967 Impala from Supernatural:

The Ecto-1

Lighting McQueen

And much more! It was a lot of fun and I’m glad this one is done with, but sad the whole thing is over. Apparently this was the last GISHWHES  they are ever going to do.

Well, now things can settle down and go back to normal. Or at least I hope so.

So sorry about my lack of posting. I feel like I have had no time at all.

It seems as if all my spare time is taken up with work,

Getting everything together for Summer Reading:

And having to be flexible when things don’t go according to plan:

Maintaing friendships:

I had some family visiting, they left, and now more family is visiting:

And every weekend it seems like it is someone’s birthday or birthday party.

Yay!

So I’m just a bit stretched right now, if only there was more time in the day.

So I will try to keep to regular posting, but more than likely I will have to slow down and take some time off.

I know it will be hard for you all:

But I won’t be gone forever. I have my annual anniversary post tomorrow, and then will be posting next week.

But then in August I will have to take another week off for:

After that, things should go back to normal.

Tired With a Capital T

Yes, GISHWHES is over and I’m back to blogging.

This year had some fun and crazy items to do. I did seven days of happiness, making a different person happy with a kind act every day. That was a lot of fun.

Went prospecting in a public fountain. And my friend and I played badminton in the mall food court for 30 mins without anyone even noticing. Everyone was too busy on their phones.

Then we had to wear white and get red wine poured on us from a two story building.

I taped coupons to five items in the store to help someone out, a coupon fairy.

I made postcards for William Shatner wishing he has joined us in GISHWHES.

Made a mural all about the wonderful Honeybees and what they do for us.

Did five chores for a mom who is overworked (in honor of Mr. Rogers). Serenaded a store employee who is overworked with a musical instrument I made myself.

Dressed up a a Jedi and went to get a root beer float at a ’50s diner.

I turned 15 people into robots! (their facebook pics).

I put a compilation of our team pics together, representing where we were from. I even used The Brady Bunch font for our names. (I hope they notice and give extra points!) For the people who didn’t give a photo I had to replace them with Misha Collins.

And I “buried” a person in popcorn in box (for the coffin, I couldn’t get a real one) in a mausoleum.

And I did this all between my regular three jobs and donating my Saturday to a children’s free backpack fair. There was a lot more I wanted to do, but just ran out of time.

And that being said I am now tired. Tired with a capital T, which rhymes with P, which stands for pooped out.

But it was worth it. It was nice taking a week out and having this big adventure, doing all kinds of things you wouldn’t normally do.

But now back to regular things like laundry, bills, repairs, cleaning, etc. You know all those things I ignored last week. That is…after a long nap…or reading.

After These Messages, We’ll Be Right Back

So I am taking part of GISHWHES (The Greatest International Scavanger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen).

It is a fun event full of crazy tasks thought up by Misha Collins and fans.

As I am going to be busy with work, scavenging, and such I am taking a week off from posting. See you next Sunday and wish me luck!

8) One Thing You’re Excited For

Sorry I have been so late on my postings. You see I have been participating in GISHWHES (Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen). It is run by Mischa Collins, of Supernatural, and is a collection of crazy things and random acts of kindness. It was intense and took a lot to do almost all of them. I loved it!

Anyways, with it now being over I am excited to hear how my team did. Did we win? Do we get to go to Costa Rica? I hope so, but I’ll just have to wait to find out.
