Note to Self

My friends and I have been having an ongoing conversation about moments when you realize that you need to do better and those little oopsies that serve as "a-ha" moments. They are those moments where almost immediately after the consequence (not the action because that would be too easy) you think, "Note to self: NEVER do that again!"

For example, after one of the worst dates ever, which included sitting in his mother's basement while he ate fishhead soup (crunching down on the cheeks- his favorite part- and all) and watching some cheesy Dracula movie while he talked about things that I were so boring that I can't even remember enough of it to make fun of him, I had a moment. Note to self: Never date a guy who thinks it is ok to shower outside in the rain, especially if he lives in an urban area with indoor plumbing because it only gets worse.

Some other notes we uncovered are...

From JJ Santana: Never wear bathing suit bottoms that are just a little too big, when you are going surfing.

From Jigga: Never wear tie-up ANYTHING when you are out with your kids.

From Janaan (courtesy of Lotus wanting to break the neck of bottle when she could not get the cork out): If you have to strain the glass out of your beverage, then note to self- you need to do better.

From Jigga: If you wake up with more than one bar/club stamp on more than one part of your body, then note to self- you NEED to do better. **JJ Santana points out that this is really a problem if you don't know where said bars/clubs are and you were not show hopping.

From Janaan: If you wake up to a "Thank You" text and you don't remember why or know who sent it, then note to self- you need to do better.

From Jigga: If you wake up to a "Are you OK? Did you make it home?" text, then you REALLY need to do better.

I am sure there are many more, but this was a fun starter. What are some of your notes? I would love to hear them.
