Introduction
You know, those things you regret the instant you realize you've done them.
1
not watching where I step
in the yard of the people who own six hound dogs when I help my younger son deliver newspapers on his paper route
2
getting a speeding ticket and my teenage son is in the car with me
especially after both my son and my husband on two different recent occasions had been stopped for the same offense, and I had given both of them lengthy lectures about safety and responsibility, etc. etc. Cost me $90 for the fine, but that was not nearly so bad as having to eat my less than tasty words.
3
deciding to double the recipe when I bake something
because partway through, I always forget that I am doubling it, and I end up with some ingredients doubled and some not and don't know which is which
4
leaving half a banana sitting in a bowl out of sight on top of the freezer
Icky, yucky, ewww, it turned black and rotted and disintegrated inside, and everyone kept asking, "Why are all these gnats in the kitchen?"
5
not turning the steering wheel enough when backing out of the garage
sigh---more red paint on the garage door frame, more white scratches on my car
6
forgetting to put on sunblock when I am outside
My skin does not have the word "tan" in its vocabulary. Only words my skin knows are "burn" and "freckle."
7
spilling milk on the computer keyboard
It typed two letters for every key that I touched.
8
not taking the clothes out of the dryer as soon as it shuts off
and my jeans come out all wrinkled
9
hitting a rock or big stick with the lawn mower when I cut the grass
That sound just makes me cringe! Then I always look around sheepishly to see what neighbors are outside and wonder how many of them heard me do that.
10
dropping an open can of pop on the kitchen floor
right after the floor had been mopped, of course!
11
finally remembering to take a coupon to the store with me
only to get to the store and discover that it has expired
12
locking my keys in the car with the engine running
and it is 15 degrees and snowing outside
13
forgetting to turn off the alarm when I go to bed on Friday night
and Saturday morning is my ONLY day to sleep in late that week
14
setting the VCR to tape a show I want to see
and then going back to watch it later and realizing I taped the wrong channel. Maybe someday we will get TIVO, and I'll have something new to try to figure out how to work!
Five stars because I've done everything but #9. I don't 'do' yard.

Shaping out 12 loaves of whole grain bread and realizing I forgot to put in the yeast. I had to undo and mix it in.
mess. mess. mess.
Dropping company pizza upside down on the floor as they sat at the table waiting for it.
Walking around downtown wearing two pairs of sunglasses.
Realizing I could go on for a LONG time on this list!
