OT: Long Island Night

Stacy on My Blog - Thu, June 05 2008

After bursting into tears while replying to Sasha's post, I decided it was a Long Island Night. I've had too much going on this year (just like most of us). I wrote the following for all of us who are just fed up! If you want to meet up for a Long Island, let me know. They have good ones at Pizzeria Uno on 82nd. I may just be there tonight singing this, if I have enough of them! :)

It’s been one of those years
Where it really doesn’t pay
To try all that hard anymore
So I’m gonna say hell with it tonight at 5:00 when I hit that office door

I’ve met the Captain
I’ve been to Margaritaville
I’ve even dated Jim Beam
Spent time with Jack Daniels
Had Southern Comfort
Tonight it’s not enough for me

It’s a Long Island Night
A Long Island Night
Gonna let it all slip away
I’m tired of problems, issues and conflicts
So tonight I’m gonna sail away

It may be my hormones or it may be my karma
I could care less about the cause
Tomorrow may be better
But I still gotta get there, so tonight I’ll put my mind on pause

I’ve met the Captain
I’ve been to Margaritaville
I’ve even dated Jim Beam
Spent time with Jack Daniels
Had Southern Comfort
Tonight it’s not enough for me

It’s a Long Island Night
A Long Island Night
Gonna let it all slip away
I’m tired of problems, issues and conflicts
So tonight I’m gonna sail away

Good song! Sorry things have been so hard lately. There has been a lot of difficult news, and you've had so much trouble with the house. I think the bad news gets harder the more we get to know one another. At least we have a place to share where most everyone "gets it". I'd love to meet up, but weeknights are hard for me. If I don't play/walk/wear out Charlie, there's no sleeping at our house. Have one for me, and give those girls of yours big smooches from me!

In 2000, I had one of the worst years ever known to man. If you'd like to borrow my sign I bought that year, you're more than welcome. It reads, "One disaster at a time." It pretty much summed up my year that year. Things will get better, Stacy. You're just having one of those "one disaster at a time" years.

When the going gets tough, I snuggle my pups... they *always* work wonders! Smush up to that snout on Bev or those ears on Minnie and I betcha see a glimmer of sunshine in their eyes!

That's exactly what I've been doing. I don't know what I would do without my girls. I've been cooped up in the house the last couple days because I've been sick. I'm feeling a wild streak coming on! ;)

Stacy,

What exactly is a wild streak for you??? Do we need to lock all the doors, bar all the windows, and keep the women and children inside? Just curious.

No, not that bad. I think I'm too old for that now! :) I normally just go, have a few drinks with friends and act silly. My old neighbors and I had "girls night out". I actually haven't been out in a while. That's probably my problem! I'm very fortunate in the fact I have a good job and have been able to take care of the things that have come up. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for what I have. It's just been one of those weeks!

I completely understand. I've had a few weeks like that. Thank goodness they haven't happened latey (now desperately knocking on wood).

Take one day at a time and you can get through anything. I also believe we are never given more than we can handle. We all have times like these. Drink sure help though. :)

Great song. Some of the best ones are inspired by the worst times. We can do a GNO next week. xoxoxoxo

Let me know when you have a GNO. I'd love to try and come.
