happy friday!
after a long week filled with a broken AC unit, a sore body from too much exercise, and 3 nights of j being gone. i am ready for some r + r! i've got a baby shower for a dear friend (can't wait to meet baby girl audrey)! j + i are hanging out with his family on sunday for some grilling out + pool time.
one of my favorite parts of summer is driving around, windows down, with the music turned up!
NPR posted this article that has the top summer hits from 1962 - 2012. the writer notes that "the sound of popular music has changed the most, as the top summer hits go from surf rock in the early 1960s through British then American rock-n-roll, disco, power ballads, R&B, boy bands, and hip hop." interesting, huh?
i have to admit that my favorite genres include surf rock, rock-n-roll, and [older] hip hop!
