For me, it'd have to be my Reese's habit. XD Reese's imported from America to Australia = higher prices for them. :/ And I like getting a lot.

Also, going to Sydney. Even if it's just to visit friends, or just... look around and shop. >.<; But they usually go hand in hand. XD

Mmmm:D Reese's. I was thinking about you the other day because of Halloween and the abundance of Reese's:D

How far is it to Syndey for you?

It's funny because I don't consider travel an indulgence, but maybe that's because I don't think I can live without it either.

Geee, I'm doing really well with the laundry here. Half of it's upstairs. That's progress, right?:D

Heeee, I'm happy to be associated with Reese's~ :D

Sydney is two hours away via car/train. XD Quite a stretch, and even more if I want to stay in a hotel or something... though I do have friends I could stay with... I dunno.

I wish I could travel more. ;_; But alas...

In a way, yes. XD

2 hours by car/train doesn't seem *that* far. It makes a huge difference if you have to pay to stay there though.

Maybe you could get a job that includes travel? Then it wouldn't be fun any more though. Alas.

Ok. Going to fold laundry. Now. Really:D

Oh, by the way, the banner is lovely but I have no idea how to post it up there. *feels ridiculously dumb* Can you tell me the code and the password and secret handshake so I can put your beautiful creations up?

xx ♥

Baklava. I am horrible with it XD

jelazakazone October 31 2011, 13:55:33 UTC

Oh yum! My mom makes the best baklava. Mmmm. My mouth is watering.

princealia October 31 2011, 13:57:36 UTC

I love it, but I didn't realize how rare it is outside of a military base because it's not something you can just go to the grocery store and buy when you live off it. You either have to make it or have it imported from somewhere. But ooomg I want some now.

jelazakazone October 31 2011, 14:06:26 UTC

We have some middle eastern bakeries that are walking distance from my house (like 2 minutes walk) that have baklava. See, another good reason for you to visit.

I didn't realize military bases had that!

That was not very nice. That's like me talking about that chocolate cake I made and ate. I have a picture of that to share later.

Ok, doing laundry now. If I keep saying it, it will happen:D

lillibet October 31 2011, 13:58:33 UTC

It's not so much because of the expense, exactly, more because I think the expense is ridiculous, if that makes sense. I mean, I can afford to buy Lush's Ocean Salt at $36 for a 6 oz. container any time I feel like it, but I generally buy it only once a year and eke it out.

jelazakazone October 31 2011, 14:01:40 UTC

Yes. I know exactly what you mean! That's kind of what I was getting at.

Chocolate digestive biscuits. They do (sometimes) have them in one of my grocery stores, but being imported, it's hard to justify the expense really. I'm thinking I might give SO a packet for Christmas as he likes them too (of course then I don't get to eat any unless he opts to share).

Also, spa days/massage. That's pretty much only an indulgence when I get a gift certificate or lots of birthday $$ that I don't already have mentally earmarked for something else. On a whole different level from digestives, mind you!

jelazakazone October 31 2011, 14:27:21 UTC

Oh yeah. Totally with you on the spa kind of things. I would love to get another pedicure, but the last one I got made my heels crack, so I'm a bit wary of that. I would love to get massages more, but find it very hard to justify.
