Redbull Gives You Wings

I am 67 days away from the best 9 days of my life.

On Friday June 29,2012, I will wake up. My outfit will be ready for me after my shower. Because it will be ready and waiting the night before. I will wake up with a smile on my face, shower, and get dressed. I will drive to work in my packed car, and I probably will get little to no work done due to the excitement that is bound to have been building since the Monday before. Actually, it's starting now. So by then the excitement will probably spilling over the brim of my mind and it will more than likely explode. I'll let you know how that goes when we get to that point.

After work, I'll probably pee myself if my brain hasn't already combusted into a thousand pieces. I will be picking up my precious cargo, which happens to be my brother Kenny, our friend Mike, and our friend Alex. We will then pack everything else to our utmost abilities and then jump in the car and head out.

Where are we going, you say? Why we are going to the most relaxing destination of all of the world. Fife Lake, Michigan.

Okay, it's probably not the most relaxing place in the world, but it's pretty damn close. Because as soon as we arrive, set up our tents, and settle in, the fun begins. It will be 8 days and 9 nights/8 days of nonstop sleeping, drinking, laughing, swimming, lounging, eating, and fiesta. Also a lot of driving because this will be the first year up north that I will have my own car, so that means I can go wherever I please. Also, I'm pretty sure my mother won't be there this year due to having an asshole boyfriend that nobody wants around, so that's a little bit off my plate too. Not that her authority, or lack of, would deter me, but she can just be a bit overbearing and I wish to not have to deal with that.

So. Problem solved. Thanks Chuck! For being the best douche bag you can be and making my family hate you and not welcome you to our festivities and lodging!

I have so much to do to prep for this. There are a few minor set backs.

SETBACKS AND SOLUTIONS :

1. I have to work on Friday so it will be dark by the time we arrive and setting up tents are never fun to set  up in the dark. SOLUTION : Leave work around 2. Be on the road by 3. Arrive probably just before 8. Although, traffic will be horrendous, so there is probably no solution to this one really, so lanterns shall be the definite solution! :)

2. Not only will it be dark, but we will be tired. SOLUTION : Red bull. Gives you wings.

3. My car doesn't really have lot of room for 2 tents, lanterns, chairs, 4 air mattresses, cooler, luggage for four, blankets, pillows, and 4 people. SOLUTION : Cram cram cram. We'll have to make it work. I already considered a small uhaul, but that requires a lot of time and money and patience. I have the money, and I suppose I have the time, but I'm just not patient enough. And just because I have the money, doesn't mean I want to waste it on something I'll probably only use once. I also considered a roof rack, but my car doesn't seem to want to support that either. So here we are at cram!

4. One bathroom. There is only one bathroom at our cottage. And I know there will be at least 13 people staying there for sure. SOLUTION : Shit out of luck. Rough it. Pee in the lake. Poop in the woods. Bathe where you pee. I don't even know. I'll figure it out. I'm pretty sure my Aunt Kim is getting a hotel room this year due to a lot of people, and she isn't really getting along great with my Uncle Jamie, so I guess we could shower a couple times at her place. And there is always my Aunt Yvonna. She lives up there in town. We'll really get by. It's fuckin' Fife Lake.

_____________________________________________________________________________

I'm pretty sure those are all the problems. That I can think of at this current time. My dad suggested that me and Kenny each separately drive, but then the fun of the road trip is dwindled down to just me and Alex. Which actually might not be SO bad, but still. I guess that is something to consider.

But all of that bullshit aside, there are still SO many things to look forward too. And not that I really made the long story short, but I can't freaking wait.

I wanna go now! :D
