And I'm in! Tonight is the boys first night off, it's not just Friday but it's the Friday before the first weekend of Summer vacation! Ann also has a Give Away going on, if your in the US and reading, go see, let me get you a full link....
I never in my life thought that the movie "Back to the Future (2and3 too)" would be lessons in life. Time Travel is a hard concept to understand, and for a 7.5yrold it's even harder but the lesson is there. If you change the way you do something the consequences in the future will be changed forever. I think this movie choice couldn't have come at a better time. I do think that they could do without some of the drinking, boob job and gambling references but hey it's a movie. I'm sure there's a lesson in make believe in there too? maybe that's stretching it?
So tonight's question from my little corner of the world. What would you do if you could time travel? What would you change or would you change anything at all?
Me? so far I'd do everything the same, I figure it all happens for a reason so I'll keep the past and look forward to what come next. And unlike last week I'm not touching the Spiked Watermelon. Tonight's drink is... Diet Soda,because the future will not be kind to this butt if I keep drinking real drinks for this VGNO!

Hmmm...
That's tough. This week I might like to tell my younger self to pluck her eyebrows.
Honestly, I really just try to live without regrets. I can't say that I wouldn't peek into the future... kinda like skipping ahead in the book, but I never read the full ending, I don't want to spoil the surprise... just enough so that I get a little "flavour".
It's a good question, I'm not sure.
I have thought about it and maybe I would have been a better wife, not so nagging all the time, then maybe he wouldn't have left me. But I do have the same man back, we had a six year divorce. And I do know that if that wouldn't have happened to me I wouldn't be the person I am today so I guess I just answered my own question. I don't think I would change anything because everything happens for a reason and it's all in God's plan for me.
Hmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Well, for one, I'd go back about two years and tell myself to wait a little longer before having my second kid. I'd still want to have Elliot as my second but I'd want her and Graham to have a little more time in between each other. Sixteen months is not a big enough gap between kids and since they're both still BABIES, I don't feel like I get to spend as much one on one time as I'd like to. I guess that's it for now.
In theory there are lots of things I'd like to go back and do differently, but like you say, there are consequences. That's a VERY good question. Hm...
There's not much I would change-just a few small relationship decisions that I made as a stupid child/young adult. But like you said, I learned from them so????
I think I'd scream NO to my old self for thinking it was okay to perm hair that was already shorter than my chin. My mistakes in life? I want them all exactly the way they are! They've all brought me to where I am now and I'M IN LOVE with where I am. Great question and answer. I'm pondering time travel now. I just hope I don't dream about it tonight! :S
