I'm going to sing along again! So far it seems the baby's favorite present is the little keyboard I got for her. It plays several songs including "Oh Susannah." I've been trying to sing along but I couldn't remember the lyrics totally, so I just looked them up here at Job #2. Woo-whee! Holy David Duke! They got some racist words in that ditty! Or at least one of the versions I found. This song was definitely written before the War of Northern Aggression.
I'm happy b/c tonight we are going to Accordion Fest and L. is meeting us there with her man and her baby. We think it's hilarious that her 18-month old weighs only 3 lbs. less than my baby who is, as we all know if you've been keeping up lately, 5 now. She told me my baby is severely underweight (which she's not!). I said her baby is severely OVERWEIGHT.
I took the baby last night to pick out her own b-day cake b/c #1., We'd neglected to do it yet, and #2., I thought she'd have fun doing it herself, which she did. We'll pick it up tomorrow and I can't wait to eat a whole bunch of it myself. It's actually a cake made out of 24 cupcakes and is covered with Disney Princesses. This seems to be the latest trend in little girls' cakes.
Speaking of the Civil War era and L. (and yes, there's an actual connection here which I will make shortly), she had me cracking up on Thursday when I was feeling really low. This is why I keep her around! We like to quote lines from our favorite movies to each other, specifically Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke, Urban Cowboy, and several John Waters classics. The other day was Cheech and Chong. We were quoting: "Jettison me into the paddies!" "Sounds very Latin. Could be the Mexican Connection." "Don't answer the phone, even if it's me calling!" Anyway, there's a character in that movie named "Strawberry" which I think is a funny, great name! That made me think of the character in Lonesome Dove, the fat mean wife named Peach--also a good name in my opinion. Which made me wonder, what's the big deal about babies getting named after fruit these days? Seems like it's been done for awhile now!
