During my 12-hour round road trip to and from S-TX

My ♪jams♫ kept me company,

Playlist

Before I added these ♪tracks♪ to my latest ♫playlist♫, I actually liked the ♪songs♫ before I found out who some of the ♫artists♪ were ~ yet now like them more! Selena‘s Bidi Bidi Bom Bom with the original sample hyped me up as I drove down to Corpus Christi + I had to blast my fave tune of the moment, Kelly Clarkson‘s ♥Heartbeat♥ Song!

Along with one of my †CHRISTmas† gifts to my Dad!

Bush 41

I feel like I can relate to G-Dub as a child who greatly admires my dad, a fellow veteran

Plus, I dug the perks of my Shell Fuel Rewards!

Shell FR

Syncing up my plastic to my membership account provides more perks!

Who doesn’t like $aving 20-cents per gallon of gas?

Bon Voyage!

Sunshine

In the lyrics of Stevie Wonder ~ Isn’t she lovely?

Since I’m preparing to take off for my next work assignment, I got ☼Sunshine☼ ready for our next road trip: oil change, state inspection, tune-up and full detail.

Truck Necessities

Boy Scouts’ Motto: Be Prepared

As always, I keep my truck fully loaded with the following: * Bible * First Aid Kit (complete with alcohol prep, antibiotics, bandages, gauze, sanitizer) * emergency kit (complete with jumper cables and warning cones) * lunch bag with essentials (including female needs) * snow shovel * phone chargers (iPod/iPhone 4 for my cigarette lighter input and iPhone 5 for my USB input) * reusable tote bag (for shopping ~ to save Earth’s resources) * umbrella {by Coach}, towel and pillow, running shoes {by Asics} (you never know when you’ll need them while on-the-go) * flip flops/chanclas (always come in handy as back up)
