Ever since I can remember I have been a music fan. My mom has proved this to me recently. Yet another dive into the closets in my parents attic last weekend recovered four albums I used to listen to constantly during my childhood. She went into how she remembers me singing and dancing and twirling my baton and jumping on the trampoline to almost every single record, as well as how happy I was when I was singing and listening to music. It still holds true to this day.

So, without further ado, here’s a deeper dive into the soul and reality of my life – the four uncovered records of my childhood:

Sometimes I’m not surprised why I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband. I can see how I might seem demanding to some.

• I’ve discussed how some guys don’t appreciate my mad fighting skills.
• I’ve mentioned the fact that I want to be addressed as Dr & Mr Tonia hahaha.
• There’s been Surprise I’m Single Parts I and II.
• We can go way back to suggestions on how to date me for an Ignite presentation.
• And don’t forget my infamous “Set me up or shut up” policy.

In the end I really just don’t want an asshat and I’m not sure why that’s such a bit deal.

However now we can add something else to my list. I think though rather than this being an addition, this is something that displays all the qualities if someone I’m looking for. A guy that’s a little pretentious but not an asshat. Someone that I can enjoy a PBR with one minute and a great wine the next. A guy that will watch football with me. Someone that’s not afraid to learn and try new things. Someone that’s not afraid of my independence. A guy that’s not bothered that I’m smart and I have a career.

And the best of all… a guy that’s not afraid to dance. Not even in this situation. Know a single man like this in Phoenix? Send him my way

Today I became really excited at the thought of coming home to an empty house (aside from the lovely Miss Tequila Rose) and being able to chill. I realized I shouldn’t take it for granted, but rather embrace it.

Thus, I present to you, the awesome list of things you can do when you have the house to yourself! Please note, these are things you can do, I am not stating I do all these things. In fact, some of these I am sure are things I will think of on the fly and may or may not decide to try next time I have me time!

• Impromptu dance party
• Watch a movie while listening to music while doing a million other things that make noise
• Cook everything in the house and have your own buffet
• Get up at 3am if you can’t sleep and start clanking around the house
• Walk around in whatever you like (or don’t like)
• Occupy every room in the house at the same time
• Bake cookies in the middle of the night
• Fall asleep with the tv or music blaring
• Leave you laundry on the floor for a few days before putting it away
• Take a bubble bath with the bathroom door open
• Sing along to everything
• Play the piano any time you’d like

Feel free to comment and add your own I haven’t thought of!
