3 ThingsOver at the Deadline Divas today, Ellen asked a very good question about going back to 12 years old. That got me thinking about the things I would change in my life if I had the opportunity.
You know, I've really tried to live my life without regrets and so far I've done pretty well. Sure I've had a few and those I've had have been BIG regrets, but some things you just can't see coming. Everyone makes mistakes in life. I don't know if I'd be who I am if I didn't make them, does that make sense? Still, there are things I would change. And things that I wouldn't.
This may be too personal to ask, but what 3 things would you change about your life? Or what 3 things wouldn't you change?
I'll go first. Here are 3 things that I would change:
1) I'd have gone to college and finished a degree in English. I see now that having a degree, any degree, can really help you in the business world. At the time I was going to school, it didn't seem all that important.
2) I would have stayed far away from a certain boy. I'm sure there would have been another down the road, but that's beside the point. ;)
3) I would say "To hell with everyone else and their thoughts and expectations!" and gone for what I want at an earlier age.
Looking back over my list, I realize that I can't change the past. But I can definitely change the future. It's never too late to go back to school. (Boys shmoys... I have a great man now!) And going for my dreams is one of the most important things to me right now. Onwards and upwards. It's time to have the life I want with few regrets! :)
And I wish the same for all of you.

Come On Baby, Let's Do The Twist!You all go ahead and dance, I'm going to sit this one out. Seems that I twisted my ankle yesterday while going to see Harry Potter at the movie theater. Not much fun, in case you were wondering. ;) Swolen, black and blue... really not my best colors. LOL
Other than that, things are going ok. Looking for a new job. Trying to do some writing and get back into that groove I was in back in June. Struggling with the committee for the Emerald City Writers Conference. And basically just trying to keep my head above water.
How are all of you? I'll definitely try to get back to blogging three times a week or so.
Talk to you soon!
