These lyrics, and the accompanying music - which is sorta catchy - are stuck in my head....

Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
I didn't mean to call you that
I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me
Please tell me, please tell me why

(CHORUS)
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night and you're gone...gone..
--Lit "My Own Worst Enemy"

I heard this song on one of the rock stations that I can get on my car radio on the way to work...

I only heard it twice, but it got stuck.

Before it got stuck in my head I sorta liked it. Now I just want to get it out of my head. But I was wondering why I liked it, besides that it has a catchy tune.

I think it reminds me that there ARE some good things about being 39. Specifically, unless The Hub goes way far off of his rocker, I probably won't have to deal with this kind of drama in a relationship again.

As a young adult, I had to deal with more than my fair share of drunk people. I don't know why this was. Well, I had a boyfriend who was a recovering alcoholic....sometimes, he was an active alcoholic, so I was presumed to have insider knowlege of how to deal with drunk people. Then, of course, I was perceived as being half out of my own mind anyway, thus being able to relate better to people who were temporarily out of their minds. And people described me as "patient" ( if they weren't in a car with me. In those days I was about to have a stroke from road rage) but I think this was a euphemism for "able to deal with vomit with aplomb".

Anyway, as a nearly 40 year old woman I can now sing along cheerfully, knowing those days are gone forever - Thank God.
