Watermelon, watermelon

I'm trying to sing lullabies to Dalton, but the thing is I often don't know the words. I make up stuff... like Baby of Mine. I think I only know "baby of mine". Dalton doesn't know, he thinks it's the most beautiful song in the world, until he starts crying. :)

This is actually a pattern in my music knowledge. I am known to know a lot of songs-I've been challenged to radio wars where I have identify the song/artist (of course this is getting much harder with all these indie artist). The thing is I commonly hear the wrong words and sing them only to be embarrassingly corrected. Hehe. Or I'll be singing and Jack will ask what they just said and I'll be like "I don't know" and he is wandering why am I singing it like I know it. I'm just putting what I think would go if I wrote the song.

When I was little, my family would often drive in the car listening to oldies (to me this may be the best thing ever, something Jack has NEVER done! What?!). I remember one Sunday we were driving and I am singing away "Stop, in the neighborhood before you break my heart". My family roared in laughter. Yes, I was singing the Supreme's song "stop in the name of love". They still bring that up.

On a whole different subject-I follow Joy the Baker and she was talking about her 30 things before turning 30 list. She basically made a list for each number to 30 of things she wants to do. I love lists and they encourage me to accomplish goals so I decided to make a list of 32 things to do before I turn 32. Side note: I had to take a couple minutes to remember how old I was. Oh brother. Here is my list, but I need help with the higher numbers. If you think of any, share share!
