Needing a Vacation!

Today is my Dad's birthday.  I called to wish him a "Happy Birthday" and the conversation went something like this:
 
Dad: Hello?
Me: Hi Daddy!  Happy Birthday!
Dad: Oh hi.  Thank you Allison... This IS Allison, right?
Me: Uh... yea...
**Awkward Silence**
Me: Anyway... how is your day going so far?
Dad: My day is going TERRIBLY!!  I bought a new truck last night (Dad- I didn't even know you were looking to buy a new truck) and there are a bunch of buttons on the steering wheel that I don't understand!  And now you are speaking to me in the speakers of my car and you are SOOOOO loud and I don't know how to make you be quite!!!
Me: Uh... *Whispering* ok Dad... I'm going to hang up now... I will show you how to use the bluetooth in your car when I see you on Saturday :) Bye!
Dad (as I'm hanging up): I just don't understand... they guy said this was an upgrade- but it's just annoy-

Hahahaha!  My dad kills me!  Shortly after I received a text message (mind you, he's only been texting for about a month now) from him that said "Thx for calling ;) You are a sweeeet daughter!  C U Saturday :D" He's becoming such a techy.

One week from today I will be packing my bags to take off to the Caribbean for a cruise :)  Well, if we are being honest, my plane doesn't leave until late Friday... so I won't start packing until Friday around noon... Procrastination- that's how I roll.  I discovered last night that I have 9 bathing suits... it's only a 7 day cruise... I'm taking them all haha!

Zac Brown said it best, I want me "toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand..."  Personally, I'd rather have my ass on a towel or a beach chair- and I'll trade the beer for a shot of Patron or a Margarita- but the idea still works ;)

Anyway all for now.  Hope everyone is enjoying their summers- I know I am... from inside an air conditioned condo.
