Ever have something happen that confirms it is time to quit something/start something/do something? Had that moment myself recenty with iPhone. Not iPhone as sucj, as could not live without it. Yet had to quit certain aspects of phone when realised it was getting in the way of normal day to day living. Mr Angela claims that the only words I've spoken to him since getting iPhone is 'Mmm?' But personlly have known it is time to give up game playing on iPhone as it has prevented me from doing such things as writing, updating Giorge.tv and, well, living. Know what I mean? Here are some other examples of when I have known it is time...
Know it is time to stop using iPhone while doing dishes when dropped first iPhone in sink.
Know it is time to stop supporting Australia in cricket after Ricky (ah, sorry Rick) Ponting continues to spit in hands and be over all bad sportsman.
Know it is time to put air in tyres when power steering no longer feels so powerful.
Know it is time to stop smoking when can no longer have one cigarette by itself and fingers have begun to stain (uh. Actually hate smoking).
Know it is time to take dog for a walk when he's finally managed to grow wider than he is taller.
Know it is time to stop dying hair when can no longer run hands through it. (Note: this is lesson learned many years ago. Went through crazy stage of home bleaching, with the worst moment resulting in pink hair. Don't ask. Then decided that black hair would be more my style and used at-home permanent dye. Kept dying as some lady I didn't even know said how lovely my hair looked. As black couldn't just dye over it and had to have expensive streaking technique done to light colour. Hair was so dead and ruined from constant dying that sat down in salon barely two weeks after another expensive streaking trip and demanded she shaved it off. She didn't believe me, yet was what I wanted. So there, Britney. I did it first).
Know it is time to buy new dresser when, after the first time in what seems like forever, had finally washed all clothes I own only to discover actually have no room to put them. Nice, gratifying feeling when know the excuse for over-flowing laundry basket was lack of space not laziness (that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Know it is time to stop watching The Hills when actually wanted to throw viewing device out of window after feeling mad anger at Speidi. Heidi for marrying Spencer and Spencer for being Spencer. Hope against hope that Hills really is a hoax and not 'reality' because if Heidi has married Spencer after he's done, she's a fucking idiot.
Know it is time to throw away favourite pair of jeans when five years later you still cannot fit into them. Yet have held onto them just in case develop ice addict or get terminal illness and get really, really skinny. Would hate myself for throwing them away if that is the case.
Know it is time to stop listening to/reading Harry Potter books when can memorise it word for word.
Know it is time to feed my cats when Penelope (or Penelophant as we like to call her) has sat on back of chair and meowed into ear for solid half an hour.
Ever have a time in your life when you Know it is time? Share it!
