Aloha Friday #107

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

If you could have a do-over for something you’ve done lately, what would it be?

  2. I would think seriously about agreeing to be the PTA President at my son’s school. We are dealing with a Consolidation that was not there when I accepted the job. It has been triple the work I expected. If it weren’t for the consolidation, I’d be enjoying it!!!!

    Not sure I have anything lately that I would do over. I think that one thing that I always think about “doing over” would have been to finish college the first time I went.

    I’d like to have another go at the piso fare offered by our local airline to local and international destinations. A dollar is about 48 pesos so that was a very good deal.

  10. Well, funny enough it would be what I talked about in my Aloha Friday. Meeting my husbands boss… So wish for a do over.

  11. we were at disneyland last week and the one thing we really wanted to do was eat at the blue bayou, the restaurant located inside the pirates of the carribean. we planned when we wanted to go which was our last meal the last day we were there. we went mid afternoon thinking we wouldn’t have to wait long at that time. when we stepped up to the hostess, we were told that if we didn’t have reservations, then there were no openings.

    if i could do it over again, i would make reservations so we could enjoy the one meal and activity that we had really looked forward to.

    Choosing to go back to school so fast, and not looking into other options. I’m hating this school and these pointless classes, I’m going to owe almost $6k per semester when I’m done ($6k x 2-3 semesters x 3yrs…I dont want to know).

  17. I would have made our land lord to change the floor carpets when we moved in here.. now it’s way beyond possible to make him understand that this carpet is a hazard and the heating system under it doesn’t work.. and it’s winter for chicken’s sake!!!

    Aloha Everyone! mine’s up too:)

  18. My laptop’s hard drive totally crashed two weeks ago. So one thing that I would totally do-over is making sure that all of my pictures and important files were stored on an external hard drive. It only took three days to get my replacement hard drive but it took a week and a half before I got my external hard drive. All that time wasted waiting to transfer my pictures and files. If I had all ready had it taken care of I would not have had to wait so long before I could get my laptop up and running again. Big lesson learned there for me!

    Aloha :)

    My sister was nice enough to treat us to McDonald’s the other day, and then I said I wished we didn’t go there, because later no one would eat their dinner. I felt bad for saying that, I may have hurt her feelings. I wish I didn’t say that.

    Hmmm
    A do-over?
    I guess I would like a do-over for whatever is causing my foot so much pain!
