Theme Thursday: Do Over!

So the theme is, if you were given one "do over" what would you use it on?

One? Are you kidding me?? That's all I get? I need at least 12...
In no particular order they are:


I'd walk out of that test in 6th grade when the teacher made me sit there until I wet my pants...

I'd keep playing basketball the same year even though I ran the wrong way when I finally got the ball...

I'd pass on that first cigarette...

I'd write more letters to my adopted (released) daughter and her family...

I wouldn't quit theatre for over 15 years because of one bad audition...

I'd finish college my first go 'round...

I'd finish college my second go 'round...

I'd do more island hopping in Hawaii during the 3 years I lived on Oahu...

I'd stay in the army (I could have retired this year!)...

I would bring my dog to Hawaii instead of giving him to my ex sister in law...

I would go visit my Nan right after my first daughter was born so they could meet at least once...

I'd keep in better touch with my cousins...

    Great list! Totally jealous that you lived in Hawaii. One of those places I said I have to visit before I die. Smoking also, welcome to my hell!

      I think I read your post this morning, weren't you talking about that being your "do over"? It's a big one, maybe even #1 for me. I hate hate hate the hold it has on me. Ugh. Thanks for reading!

      You guys are so funny! Better get on my thinking cap and get writing, eh? Ok, ok, I'll do it! I love to write anyway so this just gives me a push to do it. The stories may not be as exciting as the snippets sound though!

    I think it's a great list! Visiting your Nan is a great do-over. Makes me wish I could have done that as well!

      You know, my daughter would never remember that but it would have been a great treat for my Nan. She loved me very much,and I her, I just had that mentality that "We still have time". Unfortunately, we didn't. That's a big one too...

    Actually I need to change that! Thanks for the reminder! I graduated in December with honors, and just took my state licensing exam and am officially an RN! It's great to finally be done!

    That could have retired would bug me the most. Life needs a do-over button.
