What did you do yesterday that you wish you could do over?

yesterday im pretty happy with. in the past ive made some mistakes that would be nice to change, but then thats life, i suppose, and i wouldnt be the person i am if i hadnt made those mistakes

Yesterday? I don't know. I guess--my father was sort of tapping me and making signals and I had no idea what he wanted, so I snapped at him because he was annoying me. And he was trying to do something nice, so if I'd known that I probably wouldn't have snapped at him. So I KIND of regret that, but not too much. . .because he could have just let me know what he was up to. He didn't have to be weird about it.

I wish that my husband and I would have had a real conversation with his daughter about her future and whether she plans to go back to college.

If you mean, what would I do differently if I could do it over, nothing much. If you mean, what would I repeat if I could do it again, I suppose taking my grandchildren to the Children's Museum. But then repeating that is a given!

It's what I DIDN'T do. I didn't go to church and if I could do it over, I would go.

Do you mean "do over" because I enjoyed it so much I would like to repeat it or because I botched it up so badly I'd like the chance to do it over? I didn't do much of anything yesterday, so I really can't answer this one anyway.

There were at least two occasions when I was sorely tired and snapped at the offender. Snapping doesn't do the situation any good--and my conscience bedevils me about my short temper.

To tell you the truth...there's really nothing from yesterday that I wish I could do over. If I would have to choose something, I guess I would say that I shouldn't have talked on the phone so much! I just got home from staying in Pittsburgh after going through all this "post-transplant" stuff,
though...and absolutely everyone was calling to see how I was doing, so I shouldn't complain! However, my son wanted me to play games with him, and every time I sat down and set up the scrabble board or the chess board, someone would call and I'd end up talking for 20 minutes or longer!

Some schoolwork. I spent about half an hour on a history essay because of my own laziness and I really wish I'd done a better job of it. Given a chance I'd actually write something worthwhile.

I ate too much chili last night that disagreed with me. Today is not good.

I wish I could go back and not spend so much at the K-Mart Liquidation sale. Store was closing for good and stuff was super-ultra cheap. Got some great deals, but man, too many great deals sure adds up!

i worked my ass off for 8 hours in an understaffed kitchen (by myself at burger king) and while i decided not to walk out the door, I was going to at least give my two week's notice to quit before I left. I forgot to do that because I was so concerned with getting the hell out of there. So I'd
go back and give 'em my notice, then give 'em the finger.

Not drink so much on my birthday outing that I could hardly function the next day!!!

I wish i hadnt eaten so damn much.

I was suppose to go out with my girl friend and I did not feel well enough to go. But I still wished I went out with her because she is going in for surgery on Wednesday and I wanted to see her.

I wish I could re-do the class assignment that I turned in Monday. I didn't read it carefully and
used the wrong size of mat to hold my six Photoshop pictures. I was supposed to use a 16 x 20 piece but bought a 20 x 30 piece and forgot to cut it to size. It would have made a difference in the size and the arrangement of the pieces. My work was good but it was obviously not to spec when compared with the other students' work.

I didn't do much yesterday. Went to church, napped, did lots of reading for school... I don't regret any of it. Tonmorrow I think I'm going to regret not going to the doctor today.

yesterday we had ice here. We didnt have to work which doesnt really help when you are trying to pay for a wedding. I wish I could do Tues and Wednesday Feb. 25 & 26th 2003 over.

Literally Yesterday? I wish I hadn't slapped Scott's ass or joked with the Peperoni guy that I'd make out with him. I wish that I had had a little more faith in Rob. Oh, and I really wish that I hadn't fallen down!

I wished I would not have slept ALL day. It was a waste and things don't get done and the time is gone forever.

Marci, 57

I wish I hadn't got quite so drunk. I wish I had been able to get that guy out of my mind.

I have a lot of bad memories of going to the dentist. I have always been super nervous when I knew I had an appointment coming up. Especially when I had braces. I knew that every time I went, they were going to make them tighter and tighter. Braces suck. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless it was just absolutely necessary. Pain pain pain. I hope that one day, they will replace needles with something else. I don't mind getting shots, but not in my mouth. Needles do not belong in mouths. Blah.
