10 Things That Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

1. Eating three cupcakes in one day.

2. Hitting the snooze button. Hitting the snooze. Hitting the snooze. Sigh.

3. Bringing a 75-pound dog to Wisconsin Dells.

4. Drinking the whole bottle.

5. Letting the kids stay up 5 hours past their regular bedtime.

6. Curling and teasing your bangs. A lot.

7. Drinking cold coffee.

8. Wedding favors.

9. Eating the free snack on your flight.

10. Your turn – what else seemed like a good idea at the time?

Dyeing your hair bright colors…which I seem to remember being talked into by a certain blonde writer!

Trying to tame my eyebrows with Nair, by myself, in the middle of the night.

4 Melissa February 12, 2010 at 6:40 pm: @ Sarah – NOOOOOOO

lots of Boone’s Farm…all the time…and a little Arbor Mist!

6 Melissa February 15, 2010 at 9:10 am: @ Rachel – How about … drinking Arbor Mist straight out of the bottle!

I’m guilty of hitting the snooze button more than once and also guilty of drinking the cold coffee (though the coffee wasn’t all that bad, I like iced coffee anyway).

9 Melissa February 17, 2010 at 7:46 am: @ Ricardo – There’s just something about coffee that was never meant to be cold that tastes so bad to me. Thanks for your comment!

taking a short-cut. For anything: driving (Tower Drive when it’s snowing), walking (as a kid, through someone’s yard and getting yelled at!) or even work (not running the long complicated report, thinking no one would never know the difference).
