Survival Tip: Alternative Party Drinks

I wish I could say that I did the Daisies without any form of stimulant... but I was totally downing Red Bull like a seasoned party animal... even though I've barely touched Red Bull in the last 30 years....

Apparently drinking two very fast makes me dance like an iTunes screen-saver (my description).

I had a heck of a lot of fun and have developed a love of electronic music. It was great to just dance and only feel a little dehydrated, with a small tummy ache. Viva the all night buzz without the morning pain!!

I would recommend a lot of water along with a high caffeine diet ;)

SURVIVAL TIP: Wheat-Free Pizza

I must say, being wheat-free at a music festival is far more difficult than being sober!
I managed to find sushi and fries on the first day. Fortunately after lusting after pizza for the first day, I discovered that Butlers were offering wheat-free pizza! I did have to wait pretty long for my special order and it cost an extra R18... but it made a very tasty brunch :) Bacon, avo and feta of course!
Pizza was a bit expensive as a staple, so tried some chicken 'n rice, Mexican style.... again fries....

It might be wheat-free... but hardly healthy!

I had wheat-free pizza at Obz Cafe last night too - again, R20 extra. I wasn't too pleased to see that my pizza was practically half the size of a wheat pizza.... and more expensive?

Someone else mentioned to me today that junk food is becoming faster and cheaper to make, while healthy options are just increasing in price.... when will we be treated equally or even rewarded for making healthier choices?

I've been wheat-free for 9 days, most people don't understand why I am doing this, while others have already commented on my flatter stomach.... I suppose no one understood why I was vegetarian for 5 years either.... maybe it's just because I can? ;)

Here's To The Daisies Weekend Baby...

Girl Guide Logic...

"Be Prepared"

This is not what I am, somehow this week has run away with me, probably because 2 out of 3 nights I've rushed straight from work to a flat viewing. I slept away my whole Sunday... blah blah, I didn't go shopping, I've been eating soup, popcorn, veggies at home - at work I've managed omlette and baked potato. I am not full, I am hungry.... very very hungry... convenience food all seems to be wheat covered - pasta, pizza, wraps, pies, sandwiches, crumbed.... need I continue? I'm starting to wonder how healthy I've been the last three days???

I am shopping tomorrow night, mostly for Daisies, I really need to make sure I'm properly prepared.... who knows what wheat-free nosh will be available?

Dry Daisies....

.... Rocking The Daisies this weekend, and I'm going, and I will be sober!

It's it be fine... totally fine... I might have to tranqualise myself to get any sleep because I won't be under the sleepy spell of savigon blanc. I might starve a bit.... no burger rolls, pizza, sandwiches, pie.... remind me again why I'm doing this in October? Oh, right, because it's NOT easy....

I'm better off planning my festival wardrobe....

You can, but I can't: Drunken Rocking The Daisies

Does RTD even need a write up? http://www.rockingthedaisies.com/

If you have never, then you must... hate to admit... this is a classic October activity where I've lost my reputation but made some lasting friends :)

Do horribly have too much working going on during this time... so maybe better I'm sitting it out... (unless I magically win tickets... maybe I'm just cheap? Could I do it sober?)
