2nd Monday Do-Overs



Ahhhh, someplace I'd like to be.Someplace beautiful, relaxing. I need a beach soon, something serious!

Anyway, time for another round of “Second Monday” where I insist on avoiding Tuesdays altogether by just re-doing Monday (and the last few days) a little better. If you missed it, here is the first go-around at it.

I gotta say, I feel pretty good about not having a whole lot of do-overs this time around. But if you’re counting, here they are:

---
Taste the tofu before trying to fry it. I would have found out that it’s gross and mushy and no combination of breading and/or frying would make it less so. Don’t judge.
---

Make plans sooner. Went to dinner with some girlfriends. Great time (and delicious falafel)! Just wish I hadn’t waited so long.
---

Relax. And I don’t mean in that “take a vacation” kind of relaxation. I mean, stop spazzing!! Heaven knows I worried myself silly over something that didn’t even happen.

How does the saying go? (I dunno, is there a saying!?) If you worry & it happens, then you couldn’t have stopped it; if you worry & it doesn’t happen then you worried over nothing? Who knows I’m no philosopher.

{Thanks for allowing me to spaz, V.}
---

Get the “love it” size. Because sometimes Coldstone ice cream is worth the extra pound or two. Think brownie mix and Oreo creme filling. Together. Bliss.
---

All in all, I didn’t do too bad this time around. Let’s try to keep it that way. Anything you’d like to do over, just a little better?

2nd Monday Do-Overs


 If you remember, one of the things I don't much care for about Tuesdays is they're sort of undefined. They're this neither here-nor-there sort of day.
Some people don't care for Mondays; I don't mind them because they bring a new beginning and a jump start for the week
(slow, reluctant, and coffee-fueled as it may be).  Though I'm never happy about being pried away from my weekend, let's be clear on that!

What if Tuesdays were a
second-chance-for-a-fresh-start sort of day?
What if I could re-do yesterday, but better?
 Let's call them Second Mondays.

Here are my 2nd Monday Do-overs:

Actually check the chain on the bicycle before heading out. Last night I had to ride ride very slowly & carefully;  any extra force on the pedals meant a slipped chain.  Dodging traffic when your bike ain't moving is NO fun!        
-----
Buy more clearance fabric. C'mon, it was on clearance! 5 yards just won't do!
----
Think twice about licking that chocolate off my fingers while eating Oreos. I was almost instantly sure I had just licked chain grease instead.
----
Not make that 10:30pm phone call last night. Those are usually not a good idea.


 See? I feel pretty good about today already, knowing I won't do that again!
