What silly thing do you regret not doing?

About 12 years ago, DH and I stumbled upon a Men's Clothing store that was going out of business. All their fixtures were on sale too.

They had mannequins that were male (not anatomically correct), from the knee up to the waist, to show off shorts. They did have butts, and were made from white, light weight plastic. I think they were five bucks.

I wanted to buy two, spray pant them bronze and put a round glass top as a table top. I wanted them for end tables. Dh wouldn't go for it.

Now that I have a kiddo, I'm glad I didn't do it. But I still think it would have been a hoot!

At 40 I am still a teenager... Teenaged boys dont have any limits.

All my regrets start like this, "I shouldnt have"

I have a "I wonder what life would be like..." in that I was offered a job designing stores one year before I graduated college. I didn't take the job because I really wanted to finish my degree even though I loved the job I was doing for the summer.

I wonder where I would be now if I hadn't gone back to school right then?

Once I stopped by the store where I buy pet supplies and they were having dog adoptions that day. There was this one dog resting in a cage outside and this older man was crouching by his cage trying to get his attention. The dog was obviously not interested and just continued to lie there, until he saw me. He looked straight at me and then sat up quickly, almost coming to attention. He came right to his cage door when I walked up and was dog smiling at me. Whatever thw older man was missing forf him, apparently I had it. He was clearly part Akita, with one blue eye and one brown. And his name was Spike. No, that wasn't the name the shelter had given him. I didn't ask what they called him, but his name was Spike. I have this weird superstitious belief that if you name an animal, it becomes yours forever.

But I had a cat at home, and a ferret. And Akita is near the top of my list of "Dogs I Will Never Own." And My DH and I work long hours and really didn't have time for a dog, especially a large dog. And I am a pratical person at heart.

I didn't adopt him. I didn't even talk to the ladies from the shelter because I didn't want to convince myself into adopting him.

Sometimes, I wonder whatever happened to Spike.

I had a friend in college that was going to take me on a tandom skydive jump. I wish I had taken him up on it when I was young and stupid. Now I am old and chicken and would never sky dive!

Not getting in the basket.














I ditched High School one day. A handful of us went to the beach in our friend's yellow convertible Cadillac. It was sweet. We walked to up the a hill for some soda at Ralph's and there was a shopping basket just sitting there. My best friend ever (she was my MOH for me 16 years later) said," You better get in that basket so I can push you down the hill. If you don't, you'll regret it the rest of your life."
