I vote that we go back in time and be able to change something. There really isn't anything that I'd like to revisit, because I also think I might have romanticized things when I look back. Nothing is ever perfect, but we like to have our memories tell us otherwise. Now, if I could go back and change one thing, it would be not to be guilted by my parents and make the change in jobs to something I might have remotely enjoyed back when I wasn't into the job making good money. Maybe then I wouldn't be counting down the seconds until I can retire

The eight months I spent sailing through the Bermuda Triangle with the most gorgeous man on earth, listening to jazz and catching our dinner. It was bliss.

Oh I would LOVE to go back and change things. Jobs, money decisions, etc... But if I could go back to the time I listed, I wouldn't change anything.

If I could go back in time, I would go back to my childhood before my parents divorced. As DH and I were talking about tonight, I hardly remember anything of when my parents were married to each other. I know I can't change anything, I would just to remember more of it. (FWIW, my parents separated when I was 7 and divorced when I was 9.)

If I could change things I'd go back to January 14th 2000, the day before I shipped out for basic training. I'd pull myself aside and tell me not to be such a financial dumbass with my military pay. That I should buy the house we're going to look at just after we move to Colorado. At the time we decided not to buy because I was only supposed to be there 3 years total. We ended up staying for 6, and moving at the end of 2006. I would have made a pretty decent pile of money on that place, or it would be a great rental now since it was a few minutes from the main gate of Peterson AFB. Oh, and I'd tell me not to be slacker and to actually finish my degree while I was in, but to get one in business or finance like I wanted instead of computer science like everyone else thought I should.
