Best Thing.


I used to make people mix cds on a fairly regular basis. But after my last relationship, this simple, fun, and carefree act became a tedious, tiring, and annoying reminder of hoe much I fail at life. However, I recently discovered that my little cousin had saved every mix cd I had made for her in the glove compartment of her new car, so that they were ready to be listened to. Since that discovery, I've been making mix cds again (and I've been enjoying it, too!). Today, I made one for my father. I used to make him cds all the time, but when I got my driver's license and the keys to the Camry, the cd-making just stopped altogether. I figured that I'd surprise him with a pretty present, for old time's sake.
