BURNINGMAN!!
Who else??? I'd so love and appreciate the heads up from my pals on Live Journal here.
I am going on my first (ad)Venture to Burningman this year. My only regret is that I wasn't lucky enough to find a cheaper ticket, but I believe (and hope, hope, hope) that my investment will be WAY more than worth it. I am so excited, nervous, happy, and stressed about it. The preparations are exhausting, but as one thing after another comes together, I get more giddy and bouncy over the prospect.
I've been so lucky to find a mentor in my life who has been more than generous with her time in helping me prepare and showering me with items to take with me. I definately owe her.
a) I am 1/3 of the way done in creating my bike. Hopefully, the work will pay off.
b) I've been thrift store hopping for outfits/costumes. Too damn bad I can't even sew a button. Still need to go through my clothes and see what I'm taking, what I'm leaving behind, and what I may or may not miss if it comes back permanently covered in dust and/or shredded. Oh, and ribbon is Everywhere!
c) Found cute shoes!
d) Have a pile of necessities in order to survive the extreme climates of the desert to sort through.
c) Must make more lists.
d) Would like to find a parasol some place.
e) Have to go up to the city tomorrow and help clean up my Burningman home/camper.
f) Bought new underwear (I spoiled myself)
g) Must balance bank account and make sure I don't totally dry up my resources.
h) Bought a new digital camera. Actually, me 'Mum bought it. I was so convinced that she was going to scream her head off at me for taking two weeks off of work (so irresponsible) for this, and instead, she wishes me luck, safety, and fun, and then takes me shopping.
Unfortunately, I've been holed up at home with all of these preparations, and haven't gotten out to socialize. Miss BaGG like crazy! Will be missing Master's Den, too. *sticks out lower lip* Oh well.
Just remember, girl: "Burningman" *bounces off in giddy splendor!*
