life is a blur

well it feels like so much has happened since i last posted, oh wait that is because a lot has happened since i last posted. such randomly funny and amazing things.

this means it is time for a list:

a. karaoke with the toms crew at the gaslight. this is significant because it was my first celebrity hang out. Blake is dating maggie grace from Lost. best. day. ever.

b. met hanson. yes, hanson. they had a meeting at the warehouse.

c. dave barnes concert at safari sam's. 

d. went snowboarding at big bear. 

e. i took lessons at big bear. funny story. i walk up to my class before it begins and i notice a big camera..hmm i think. what is the camera for? i ask. as i ask the question this guy turns around with a microphone and introduces himself as Chewy (chewbacca) a VJ for MTV tres...

yes mtv 3. i am a mtv tres star. awesome.

i definitely busted hard a couple of times, at one point i thought i had pulled my shoulder...if that is even possible.

f. toms flew me to pittsburgh to drive a car from the midwest to texas for the college tour. it was a long drive but it happened.

g. the toms college tour or Shoenanigans tour began at Baylor last friday- venue common grounds...it was one rad event. i love waco.

h. i got to hang out with my family this weekend, which included a trip to incredible pizza- it was incredible to say the least.

crazy times. crazy, random events have kept things all but mundane.

the everyday adventure

there has been a request for a day in the life...of a toms intern.

so here we go.

it all begins around 6:30 when my first alarm goes off, which almost always turns into another ten minutes of sleep on the good ole' snooze button.

6:40(5): i wake up, do the whole get ready/dressed bit, and try really hard to not be late.

8:15:  me and my 14 roommates leave the condo to travel by carpool to work.

9:00: work begins. 

sometime mid morning: walk down our friendly little work alley to get coffee at vaughn's and place my lunch order. (50cents for a cup of coffee in my own mug- super rad)

12:15: start lunch hour. go pick up lunch. eat. email. read. etc.

1:15: the second half begins.

6:00: work ends. (sometimes we chill a little or a lot past 6...we love our work what can i say)

around 7:00: make it home, or go out and do something

11:00: bedtime

the next morning it begins again. this is the super simple mundane part of everyday. somehow it never gets boring. 

today was the second monday in the office. crazy. 

blake (the owner/chief shoe giver) came in, and we finally got to meet him. he is rad. the office changed when he walked in everything became more animated and fast paced. he is like a whirlwind of ideas and questions and solutions all wrapped into one man's body.

anyway. 

love. 

more soon.

sweet home california.

it has been a while....

here is a list of the past couple of weeks:

-stayed in pasadena with happy watkins! we had a fabulous time.

-stayed with the mauger's for like five whole days in agoura hills (ca).

-drove to vegas to meet up with my mom and stay with jenn grimaldo (an old roomate).

-spent time in san diego with katie adlard and britnie young. loves!

after all of this nomadic-ness, this past thursday i finally moved into my new house. the TOMS intern house is a condo close to santa monica. i have 14 roommates....crazy but so fun. 

the roomies are from all over alabama, tennessee, ohio, minnesota, florida, vegas, north dakota, kentucky, louisiana, california, and there is another texan- representing.

today was our first day of work. it was a blast. the office is this old mtv warehouse- it is everything i ever imagined it being. 

ok well. love. be inspired. 

i am loving TOMS so much. i will write about more of my mundane adventures soon!
