My new phrase. For crying out loud has served me well, and is certainly a part of my collection of phrases to exclaim in exasperation. But For the Love is also fabulous, and I shall use it. Like today, when the fax machine kept trying to feed all three pages at the same time. For. The. Love.
Obviously this phrase is reserved for only the truly frustrating situations one encounters in life. Like the fax machine. Or the fact that I could not for the life of me get my white out container open. Or the fact that all my shows are on hiatus because of the blasted olympics. Or the fact that I have to do laundry again, even though I JUST DID LAUNDRY. OR my apparent inability to think of anything to post about.

My two latest favorites are "man, alive..." and "CRUMBCAKE" Both fully safe to use in front of a 5 and 2 year old...
Man, alive is a good one. I shall have to remember that as a fallback if I find myself saying For the Love too much. I did say it quite a bit today. In my defense everyone at work was cranky. I seemed to be the perkiest one there. Imagine that!
