In my world, every day is an adventure.
Life is more exciting that way.

Five Dollar Footlong
Oh, how I love Del Taco.
But unfortunately, 8.25 an hour barely even pays for car insurance and gas, let alone a phone and college and food....
So my friend Tayler suggested that I apply for a job at her work.
Subway. Out in the middle of nowhere.
So I emptied my change jar to fill up my gas tank, changed into interview clothes in the Taco Bell bathroom, and got on the freeway.
It was terrifying. I've never been on the freeway by myself before, and I didn't realize that my car Izzi, doesn't like to go fast.
As I approached 80 mph, she started shaking violently. Not just the normal shaking she does when I play my music too loud, but a clutch to the steering wheel, hold your breath, hope you don't die kind of shaking. I slowed back down to 78 mph and she was fine. My mom later laughed when she realized that I wasn't aware of this. My car just has seizures sometimes. It's fine.
The lovely lady that interviewed me informed me that she would be getting back to me.
Wish me luck!

Oh Del Taco television, you expose me to such great music.
Another one of those songs that I really like, and feel the need to share with the world.
Hide & Seek
Ask any kid I've babysat. I'm THE coolest babysitter ever.
When I grow up, I want to be a mom.
Why?
I love kids.
I love pretending like I'm a kid.
I love the laughter.
the simplicity.
the questions.
the wonder.
the amazement.
and coloring.
I love making friends with random kids at the park that say "Hey! Can you push me on the swing?" and then tell me their whole life story.
I love their view on the world.
and their innocence.
I love their windblown hair and their grubby little fingers.
I just love kids.
Which is why I babysit a lot.
Most Saturdays, I'm hanging out people half my age.
It's okay, they like me more than the big kids anyways.
...
Sometimes, we play games.
Like hide and seek.
and sometimes they hide in weird places.
(and get stuck)
Obviously if I was as good of a babysitter as the kids say I am, I would have helped her out of the laundry basket instead of taking a picture.
Don't worry, she made it out uninjured.

Dad & iTunes
The other day as I walked out of work, I found a new CD on the seat of my car labeled "Bass mix for Toni." I smiled. I squealed. I danced on the inside. Someone loved me, and this someone happened to have found a way to gain access to my car.
I popped the CD into the CD player, turned up the volume, and enjoyed my drive home.
I have several CDs in my car that are simply put, amazing. Had it not been for the barely legible chicken scratch scrawled across the front instead of my big bubbly letters, I would've thought that I had burned them myself.
Nope. Surprisingly, my father has some very good taste in music. This leaves me with the occasional new CD filled with a mix of songs that I've been humming around the house for the past week combined with a selection of some that I've never heard of before, but love anyways.
Despite the fact that I know of my Dad's music listening habits, I'm always shocked by the number and types of amazing songs that I find on his Itunes account.
Tonight I burned 4 playlists.
They are titled as follows:
1 - Those songs that you maybe kinda sorta think belong in the background of a movie, but they aren't.. so you just settle with letting them be the background of your own epic life & Stuff
2 - This is What Sunshine Tastes like
3 - Songs so Epic, you'll think you OD'd on Charlie Sheen
4 - Stoplight Dance Parties
