Glowing Like a Worm in a Bag

This Sunday Will and I went over to Elizabeth Street to buy our super-sleek, ultra-light sleeping bags. I lounged in it all day while reading a book that made me long for Cuba. I also found out how difficult it is to look attractive in a sleeping bag--I felt like a human worm. pretended I was visiting another Peace Corps volunteer and sleeping on their concrete floor. Our carpeted floor was a bit uncomfortable...I wonder was concrete will be like. Hmm.

The last time I had my own sleeping bag it was large, warm, pink and decorated with white fluffy sheep and I slept in it every night. This is definately a step up the fashion ladder!

We're having Australia's biggest sleepover this weekend. The end-of-course MIDA (Monash Internationonal Development Association) semi-formal ball is this weekend and about 90% of the 40+ attendants live in the suburbs. Most people will want to stay in the city for the after party and Will and I live in 1 of the 3 flats located in the city. So, our sleeping bags will be put to good use. I'll ask the sleepers how comfortable they are on bare floors and take purchasing action of a mat of sorts depending on the results.

I'm quite excited about this weekend as I have visions of having a proper prom-like event (I hated my prom and left early because it was lame), with fancy dress and good friends and minus the way-to-drunk minors. However, it is our last weekend in Melbourne. And what a great last weekend it will be!
