  4. I’m hot.
  5. I’m cold.
  6. I need sex so bad my cavities ache.
  7. Memory . . . all alone in the moonlight . . . I can smile at the old days. What Broadway musical was that darn song from . . . and why am I craving salmon?
  8. I have restless lego syndrome (my inner child still can’t fit all the pieces together).
  9. I’m hungry.
  10. I ate too much marbleized meat at dinner.
  11. I went to that damn movie Contagion.

  17. Knowing that the Kardashians are laughing all the way to the bank.
  18. My young boyfriend.
  19. My young girlfriend.
  20. Your husband (he won’t stop calling me).
  21. I drank a pot of regular coffee after 5:00 p.m. and now I can’t close my eyes. I may have to tape them shut.
  22. The national debt.
  23. Realization that Cher disturbs me a whole lot more than Chaz.
  24. Knowing that there is one more slice of chocolate birthday cake left in the fridge (and it’s got my name on it).
  25. Space junk is gonna fall on my face any day. I just know it.
