That is because you never stopped by Brain Freeze / Got Stickers Camp. Check your pm's DD Oh dustdevil I loved that camp last year. We stopped by after all the stickers were put away, but, once we started talking to a few people, they went and got me an awesome sticker anyway. :) So nice and awesom...

For me, it was important to find the right bedding. I have 4 herniated discs and run cold. Admittedly, if I don't have enough blankets to keep me warm, I don't sleep and am miserable. So, I knew that I needed to not go light on that. This is the bed I got (well, one similar..not this exact one).... ...

I had ordered new contacts last week. When I looked at the site today, they still had not shipped. NOT COOL since I leave in 8 days! So, in emailing with them, I discovered that they had to order them from the manufacturer and could not guarantee when they would be shipping or an arrival date. (Note...

As we have two weeks or so left, I am wondering what you experienced burners do to prepare your body in these last days before you leave? Extra vitamins? Fast? Extra fluid? Wax? Run around a tree 3 times?

Can I ask a very odd question? Is it just tap water? or can you stand spring water? I hate tap water, I can taste the metal in Houstons water, but i love spring water. Not an odd question. And, its both. Tap water I can't drink at all. Even though our water up here in the Northwest is awesome. Bott...

I use crystal light in my water bottles, no way would I drink enough without. When you get home, rinse and wash the bladder and if you just can't face a persistent bizarro flavor then buy a new bladder. Thanks. I dont mind getting a new bladder once I get home for use again. Just want to make sure ...

Silly newbie question, I am sure....but... I have NEVER been one to drink straight water. Even when I was a baby I would spit it out. (I dont know, I am weird, but that is another story...) Anyway, I KNOW I need to stay hydrated and drink. I have bought a camelbak, but, have never used one before. S...

Pink Heart Camp is looking for a bakery in the Reno area (or on the way to the Playa) who we can get our pink cake from for the Birthday Party Bash we are planning. Costco is an option, but we would rather support a burner business. If you know of any, send me a message!

Pink Heart camp will be gifts ice cream cones daily on the playa in the afternoon. We are looking for some artists to come help us get in the groove and make it fun. So, if you have a mobile dj set up, or are a musician or performer, we would love to have you. We do NOT have speakers, you can either...

It really depends on who I am talking to. If it is a stranger or an acquaintance, it depends on if I want to explain BM or not. Just last week I was getting a nerve root block injection from my spine doctor (my last one wore off, at least it was now and now while in BRC). Anyway, I told him I was go...

For sure! Thanks for the reminder! EVERYONE should bring extra batteries! All sizes! hehe

I also got some space bags to help give me even more room. I must say I really do love that if you throw something out to the universe, it magically appears! THANK YOU! This story is AWESOME! One word to the wise, I know there are two kinds of space bags: 1. The kind you use a vaccume to pack. 2. T...

I sent you a private message with the company we used this year and I have used for years.

I figured out how to pack my stuff in for the train! I was thinking plastic bins, but, no, Amtrak won't take them. So, I was trying to think of other options. Today I was at walmart waiting for a prescription and saw these travel trunks. Perfect size, with latching lids, can add a padlock. http://lh...

I ordered dog tags as well and had fun with them. I got mine from http://www.dogtagsonline.com/ and was really happy with how fast they arrived, the choices, and product. (Note that I am not promoting this company, just offering that I purchased from them and was happy with what I got.) Here are min...

With a slight set back in my back pain, I started thinking that maybe driving isn't the best option. So, I decided to take the train to meet up with some friends in San Fran and drive over to Reno with them. Train is less than flying (and even driving) and I can take enough bags with me on the train...

trip to costo... carport...check vodka..check tequila...check t malibu..check times 2 8) look on cashiers face..priceless Wish we could purchase vodka at costco up here in Washington...not yet anyway. Rumor is they are wanting to, but we shall see... LOL I finished my custom sashes for our theme ca...

I feel like I accomplished alot over the weekend.

Everything I have been stashing away for the playa has been inventoried, sorted into bins/containers and written down in my excel spreadsheet. Now I know exactly what to focus on in the remaining 45 days until I leave.

New radiator? Check. New tranny cooler? Check. New fan? To be installed later this week once it arrives. New brakes? Check (including rotors) New tranny filer? Check Oil Change? Check Engine degreased? Check Having radiator blow up on Friday before the holiday weekend but having a friend who can fix...

Our camp (Pink Heart) will be hosting a giant birthday party on Thursday afternoon. We are celebrating the man turning 25 and all other bdays on the playa. Cake, ice cream and lots of party games (life size twister, candy land and more!) Let us know its your birthday on Saturday and I am sure we wil...

My item for today: new radiator in my car. I was driving today and developed a GIANT hole in it. Good thing it happened here and not on my way to the playa! Now the car will be in tip top shape for the drive.

My ticket came today! Yippee! I am official now.

I have been waffling on what bed to get/take. Considering my back problems, i wanted something comfortable. Got this off freecycle today. And, it was only used twice. :) Its a little lower to the ground than i wanted, but, it will do! http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/72/70/01/41/0072700141181_500X5...

While I was on my trip to Oregon over the weekend, I made sure to stop at lots of the little thrift/antique/consignment stores that are down there. I got quite a few awesome items, but, this was by far the item I am most excited about! $4 Cashmere coat with fur. Yes, $4! At this little awesome thrif...

I was cleaning/organizing in the garage and going through boxes. Found a brand new sewing geni and mini stitcher! I count this as my item for today! See, I can't sew for the life of me, but, with this little machine and the mini stitcher, I can do what I need to do instead of finding someone to do i...

Today was the first day I could reserve mine, nothing open! I'm on the wait list for a sleeps six, which has been a decent gamble in the past. Did you get in? Technically no. But, I am level 1 waitlist to have the condo for the week and then a level 2 waitlist for just the one night. I got on the l...

Figured out my post-playa decompression day/intro back into real world arrangements in Reno! :) And, even better, it will be free! I LOVE time the fact that my mom has time share condos and has not used them this year! Today was the first day I could reserve mine, nothing open! I'm on the wait list...

Yep. 8.5 yards. Although, I am considering adult footed pjs! Or, my daughter may just make some blankets out of it for a service project.

Don't want the bears to kill anyone! hehe
