Think Skinny!

I journey toThailand tomorrow!!! Waaaaaaaahhh!! Excitement at peak level emoticon.

This is my packing vessel:

And here are all the goodies to go inside:

Well, at least that is most of it. There are a few toiletries I have yet to put in there. But as of now I have

• 4 shorts
• 6 shirts
• 1 pair of pants
• 1 long sleeve shirt
• flippy floppies
• Topsiders
• 2.5 swimsuits
• 2 sports bras
• 7 pairs of funderwear
• 1 scarf
• 1 hairbrush
• 1 bag of many liquid items (all 3 oz or less!)
• 1 deck of cards
• 1 game of Bananagrams (because Adam and I will be spending a lot of time together)
• 1 outlet converter
• 1 backpack rain cover
• 1 Kindle, fully loaded
• 1 ipod, fully loaded
• 1 paperback novel
• 1 camera

While it may look like a lot written out, my bag is far from full. I just thought, Hey there is still quite a bit of room. Is there anything else I should take? No! Stop right there. I have to carry everything on my back and I want it to be as light as possible. Plus, I won’t need a crazy amount of shtuff. Furthermore, let’s be honest, chances are high that I will find one or two things to purchase while I’m there…

Dooo You Wanna?

This is a genuine note left on the counter by my dad–

Unsure of what a “Do Rag” is?

Dad and Jared, dooooods*

 

Yes, my dad has plans to buy all of my sister’s guy friends a doo rag to wear down at the lake this weekend. Nothing says patriotism and fun like a close-to-the-skull-fitting, eagle-covered piece of cloth on the head. God Bless (or Help) America.

*No, thankfully, that is not a real firearm. That is simply the BB gun used to scare away ducks and other birds of prey from the pond and pool.
