Best sleeping bag ever, list of things to do, tee shirt and brooch.

March 24, 2010 Carly Findlay 9 Comments

Blah blah blah, sleeping bags won’t draw readers to this blog entry. Or will they?? (You may be surprised, given my lack of outdoorsy love, I actually own a sleeping bag and like using it!)

I digress.

Brea pointed this out to me. She found it over at The Blogess.

This is the king of awesome sleeping bag.

Laying in something that looks like a sleeping bear will probably protect you from an oncoming bear.

I love it! And I want one.

You can view more bear sleeping bag goodness here.

In other news, I am busy and worn out just thinking of the things coming up. They are good things though. I wish there were more hours in the day.

Tonight: Body Balance class, then calling into Coles (Showgrounds Village – how I love thee!) to buy some milk, sago and custard powder, then cooking Custard Melkkos with said ingredients for Harmony Day (it’s a food from my homeland – South Africa).
Tomorrow: Harmony Day event I am organising at work.
Tomorrow night: Angus and Julia Stone concert – hurrah!
Friday morning 6 am (!!): Nova Comedy Festival breakfast – I go EVERY year and I love it. Wouldn’t miss it
Friday: Work
Friday night: Body Balance
Saturday: Uni from 9 am til 3 pm, and then catching up with friends involved in the Grand Prix.
Sunday: catching up with Hayley, finally!
Sunday night: cooking dinner for a friend.

Between those things, I may be seeing another friend to give her the Kurt Cobain book I bought for her on Ebay, and I need to do uni reading, and I also need to work on that writing opportunity.

Phew! Bring on the long weekend next week.

Two more things:

This arrived in the mail today, from Forever 21.

Isn’t it cute! I will wear it bellydancing next term.

And my elephant necklace-turned-brooch was shipped from Tennessee. I fell in love with it when I saw it on Etsy, and I bought it straight away. A work friend has also bought the necklace.

The lovely creator and seller, Nikki, has made the elephant into a brooch for me because I worry that as a necklace it will scratch me. The store is called Untamed Menagerie – you should check it out – they have beautiful stuff.

I’m over and out, got to relax before I begin to check things off my to do list.

    OK – so I took the English option of my heritage and made it much easier on myself post gym.
    All the food I am taking to Harmony Day is no-cook and English.
    One of the benefits of coming from cross-cultural parents!

    Ha, I am laughing at the thought of anything being even remotely funny at 6am! So not a morning person. πŸ™‚

    Oooo totally checking out that Etsy shop – I collect elephant stuff, I just LOVE them. Just bought a pair of elephant earrings from the Glamourai on etsy. Judging by your schedule, you are like me: can't sit still for very long doing nothing lol.
