Five years ago, I bought an ipod. It was the pinkest and coolest of them all, the ipod mini, holding an amazing 4 gb. There has never been a time, and I mean ever, that I sync all of my itunes to my ipod. I’ve always had to be selective about what I put on it. Sometimes I fill it with podcasts. Sometimes I fill it with worship music.
And then there are days like today, when I am going to go for a little drive. and tomorrow I will go for a bigger drive. and the next day I will go for another little drive. How do I predict what I want to listen to? It’s like packing, but way more serious.
Currently I am in a disgusting state of giddy. Emily just told me I am crazy. I told her I am in “love.” Quotation marks and everything. Naturally, I want to listen to music that makes me feel all silly and stuff. But what about tomorrow? or the day after? So here, my friends, is an exhaustive list of the 493 songs, 1.3 days and 3.74 gb worth of music (apparently 4 is no longer doable) on my ipod to accompany me on the upcoming week of travel.

The Matt Wertz & BSB ones are kind of weird because there’s a lot of the same songs, which I guess is a bit of a waste of space, but oh well.
ps you’re probably thinking to yourself, “where are you going?” and that is a legit question! Today I will go to Bakersfield to stay with the Helms, tomorrow I will go to Scotts Valley to stay with the Coverts at Redwood Glen. Wednesday – Friday I will stay with the Birks in Pacifica. Then I will drive to Sacramento and take a plane home, where I will be for a week. I definitely need it, so badly. My brain is a pile of mush these days.
