Two French Sisters

Continuing the theme of too much work, too little time to enjoy life, and too much cold here in NJ this month to even consider going outside -- although I did brave the cold last night to watch Syracuse beat FSU - I'm sorry, destroy them, moving to 7-5 in the ACC after an 0-4 start and 17-8 overall (13-3 with Boeheim).  This is a solid tourney team right now and if they keep playing this well, they will be a threat to at least make the Sweet 16, something unimaginable a few weeks ago (when NIT was dancing in my dreams/nightmares).  Anyway, I digress -- where was I?  Oh yeah, this song, I keep coming back to this song -- which sister is right?  I don't know, but I really like the one who's floating around town going to coffee shops all day.  I got about an hour of writing done yesterday at a local coffee shop between work and the game and I wish I had done more, there's always a wish for more, but I'm about 140 pages into my first draft of the follow-up novel to the novel being shopped by my agent to editors right now, so hopefully, maybe just maybe all this effort will all be worth it.  Or you know, I'll just substitute the coffee for alcohol and move along.

I was looking for a job
and when I found a job
I took it out on everyone I knew

Buttons on a lapel
an occasion I know too well
perhaps today they'll let me go home early

When I was poor and alone
there was a peaceful tone...
to the watch you gave me last christmas

I wish someone would have prepared us for this when we were younger
I'm not ashamed to say that I would be happy to never complete an honest day's work
I would just float around town sipping cups of coffee and waiting for buses to take me to museums
my sister doesn't agree
she works too much and worries too much...
and laughs too much
just look where it's put her
the poor thing

The sun rises but it also sets - you're not done with me yet!!!
of all the places I'd like to be it's...
in a room with no TV
an open window and company
and smiling faces to say that they missed me
