the soundtrack to losing my mind
Ordinarily, Monday's the kind of day that has me looking up from my computer at 2:00 wondering just where the hours have gone. Ordinarily. But yesterday, Monday had me (no matter how crazy busy) looking up at least once every half hour to see if that crinkled blue bag of animal crackers had magically replenished itself for my continued consumption. Kinda like the loaves and fishes. Only, with less Jesus and more high fructose corn syrup.
I've decided I'm finally going to commit to writing that, How We Met (Commence Tossing of Cookies) story, but of course that is when work also decides to get so hectic that my lunch hours have been reduced to a four-minute all out assault on a turkey wrap, leaving very little time for story telling.
What this barely-blink intensity has left time for is a broken-record repeat of a Kelly Clarkson song, round and round in my head, filling life with such brilliantly poignant, heartfelt lyrics as, Life would suck without you. Really? Life would suck without you? That's a real song? I weep for my unborn children (none of whom shall be named Elliot, no matter HOW MUCH I like the name, because, haven't I seen ET and Pete's Dragon? No kid should have to be stuck with the name Elliot).
Sigh.

LOL Kelly Clarkson lyrics are bad but *somehow* I have the following two COUNTRY songs stuck in my head.
1. "God is good, Beer is great, and People are crazy..."
2. "if you're going through hell, keep on going....."
Just what we need! Hope your week gets better!
What about Stabler?
Snort!
I've never liked the name Elliot, but a friend of mine named her daughter that, and I gotta say that it really suits her. :)
I like the name Elliot!!
Yes, Elliot has a little more cachet now that Eliot Stabler is on TV. It's all in how you spell it! :)
Speaking of Elliot, I went to a show in NYC tonight and sat one row in front of none other than Detective Stabler. He's even hotter in person.
