Things That Make Me Go "Hmm ..."

I can't get to sleep tonight, so I figured I'd log on and bore each of you into a slumber while sharing some of the deep thoughts and burning questions that are whisking through my head (think tumbleweed down the streets of an ol' ghost town). If you've got answers to any of this stuff, by all means, please share! (If you'd rather just make fun of my ramblings and musings, well - that's even better.) Here we go, in no particular order ...

1. Exactly how long can I keep ignoring the awful grinding noise and random ABS brake light before I do permanent damage to my shiny, fast, black car?

2. When does the law of respectability dictate that I remove my nose ring? Is there an unspoken cut-off age when it goes from being a form of self-expression to being 'just plain wrong'?

3. What does it say about my love life when Bell Canada's campaign to 'woo me back' from their competitors gets credit for being the most romantic phone call I've had in recent memory (and by 'recent' I mean the past decade or two *wince*)?

4. Did I actually spend my weekend trimming the purr-balls' claws, making sure the critters got enough exercise & attention while the kids are away ... and watching a movie that I forgot I'd already seen - possibly twice? Helllllo?! Where were my friends with the intervention?

5. Should I grow my hair long(er)? Even though I know I'll probably just hack it all off again because it ends up annoying me?

6. What time is it now?? Ugh.

7. If I finally get that funky cool artwork added to my tattoo, will I end up regretting it? *pictures self in nursing home with indiscernible blotches of ink on her thin, wrinkly skin*

8. Did my parents really think the Chicago and Air Supply cassettes they confiscated from my room as a kid were going to lead me to a life of moral depravity? Air Supply. AIR SUPPLY?! *shakes head in disbelief* Wonder what they'd think of my musical tastes today. *evil cackle*

9. Is anyone still reading this drivel?? My condolences if they are.

10. *yawn* Most importantly, I wonder if the Bell repair guy who's coming tomorrow will be a hottie. *fingers crossed* Guess I'd better go get my beauty sleep ... just in case!
