Poptart

I'd take sports underwear (bras, undies). There's women there wearing lace bras that offer no support. You've got to think about life at camp, challenges etc. A sports bra is a must. Especially for us big boobed ladies.

I'd also take a sarong/pashmina. It does double, if not triple duty. Blanket or wrap, clothing, headgear etc. 

I'd also wear practical clothing on the first day (cotton stuff, stretchy, several layers). One lady is wearing this full length dress. Can you say impractical? I mean, you could walk too close to an open fire, catch the hem and poof. Burning.

Also, I'm curious how the men grow facial hair (so obviously no razors), but not one woman has any under arm hair or wayward bikini pubes (so obviously they use razors). Unless they all went and got laser hair removal or something...

I have a crush. I'm too bloody old to have a crush on a guy. And this guy is so not whom I need to be attracted too. 

He's married. 

I've known him for a number of years, am good friends with both him and his wife. We do things together (went to KOL concert with him) and I often catch up with him for a drink or we go out for dinner, or a movie. We've been on a holiday together with other friends etc. We get on really well. I like his wife, she's really lovely. And I like him too. Argh! 

I'm going to have to distance myself from him/them for awhile. My head needs to be more involved. I don't want to be attracted to a married man. Why can't I be attracted to some hot single guy? I guess first I need to meet a hot single guy. Which means I need to get a social life. Which just seems too much like hard work LOL.

I really like the look of this apartment (I bet that one goes for over $2mil), or some of the ones in the Hannah's Building. Would need to win Lotto to afford one of those though.

Of course, if I looked further out of the city, $700,000 would go quite a way. But I'm a snob when it comes to suburbs (yes, I bet I surprised you with that revelation LOL). I wouldn't live anywhere like Crofton Downs, Newlands or Tawa (totally soulless suburbs to me). I guess I'm spoiled in that I live central city and have got used to being in walking distance to everything. I've never actually owned a car, as I can walk everywhere (or get taxis). When the ex lived here, he had a car and it was a constant battle to get a park (as we'd be competing with other neighbours for on-street parking, and never seemed to get a park outside our place LOL).

In other riveting news, I made some chocolate cupcakes this afternoon. I'm waiting for them to cool before I ice them (and eat them!). I made up the recipe so hopefully they taste okay (if not, I'll just smother them in buttercream icing, everything tastes good with icing LOL).

Last night I was inspired to make a Spicy Prawn Pilaf (a Gordon Ramsey recipe), it was nice but not spicy enough! It was tasty but needed more heat. Of course, I made enough for four people so I have it in my freezer and no doubt will be eating it for dinner for the next few days. I can tell I'll be over pilaf by Tuesday LOL.
