So, today is my day off. Yesterday was my day off too. What is happening? Two days off in a row! This hasn't happened since, well, never. I mean I have had days off in a row before but I had to ask them off. These two day were given to me free! There has to be a catch, right? So far, I haven't seen one, but then it's still Monday.
Yesterday, Lissy and I got the approval to go on our road trip. Her mom was iffy about the trip when we said we wanted to go to Vancouver, and in the end said no to it if my sister wasn't going to come with us. Since my sister wasn't going, Vancouver ended up in the dust. I understand her thoughts about Vancouver because the roads are mountainous and dangerous. My mom was even protesting Vancouver. But then with the time frame that we were going to do it in, I can completely understand. It was going to be a 30 hour drive there and back in six days. Which is kind of outrageous, but a girl can dream, right?
I must admit that we are adults and have been for quite some time, but we're still the babies in our families. My mom can't say no to me about this road trip because she and my aunt took one to Seattle when they were our age. My dad hates that I am going and keeps telling me no about it, but my mom and I remind him that I am an adult and that she did it without a cellphone when she was my age. It's just that my dad has a really hard time with me doing anything grown up or independent though. It's not that he's overbearing or anything, it's just that he still thinks of me as his little 7 year old tomboy who tagged along with him to work. I can't help that I am still his little princess.
Speaking of princesses, I was working Saturday night, and I was waiting on this great table who had this little boy (he was probably 3 or so) and I guess he asked his parents and grandparents if I was a princess. Then they tried to get him to ask me if I was a princess like he asked them. He was so cute and sweet, and it made me realized that even though I have bad days and even bad weeks, that this is why I keep my job, well that and the tips are really nice. It's funny how you can have rude customers or not so nice people you wait on, then you get that one great table, and BOOM! your day is just a little bit more brighter. My response? "To my dad I am a princess, so, I guess, close enough."
So, back to the point. Where is this approved road trip taking Lissy and I? To Toronto and Mackinaw Island! This road trip is only 18 hours (compared to the 30 hr. drive) one way and there are no mountains between here and there. Well, there shouldn't be and if there is, then we're screwed. And then there would be the discussion of "let's not tell our moms about this".
I am so excited about this trip and can't keep from talking about it. I really think that my sisters are sick of it and get annoyed anytime that I mention the words "road trip, Canada," or "Toronto". But I really haven't done anything exciting this summer, and this would be the big bang before school starts this year. My plans are actually coming together! Agh! I am soooo excited! Really. I bet no one can tell.
