If you ever find yourself in the situation where you want to make your life sound more interesting and eventful, it helps to realize that you can turn anything into a ballad by interspersing your description of events with a repeating chorus of nonsense syllables.

F'r instance:

I baked my love a cake tonight,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
The batter didn't come out right,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.

I added too much butterscotch,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
The result was nearly a total botch,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.

It baked up fine, all lovely and gold,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
But I left it to sit in the pan until cold,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.

The chips had stuck in a gluey mess,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
On the bottom of the pan, to my distress,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.

So remember when baking a golden cake,
Sing hey, ta-ra, ta-ray;
Butterscotch chips are a big mistake,
Sing hey, ta-ray, ta-ra-la.

Much better and more eventful than just actually saying what you're thinking.....
