    For the most part I look at the decisions I've made, good or bad, and realize that they have shaped the man I am today so wouldn't really want to change anything...except I wish I would have never picked up a cigarette...that was just dumb, dumb, dumb.

    I am a strong believer of things happen for one reason or another, and if something in my past was to change maybe my present would not be the same.

    BUT,.....

    I wish I was more selective on the men I had chosen to date.

    But if it wasnt for all the bad ones I may not have met my wonderful one :)

    Oh plus I wouldnt have let myself get fat in the first place.......

    Not worry about the unimportant stuff. Spend more time with my sister and be a better friend to her. I miss her so much.

    I wouldn't have gone to college. At least not right away. It has taken me a long time to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, and college didn't change that for me. It was expected of me without me realizing at the time that there are so many ways to be successful. Who knows, maybe I still would have gone to college somewhere, but if I had to do it again, I would have waited.

    Sooooo many things...

    But when I was about 5-6 years old, my mom was in art college in Paris and I went to 1st grade there. She had a boyfriend who was really wonderful to me. When we went back to the states I had no idea, but he wanted to adopt me and keep me in Paris with him as he went to medical school. I only found this out a few years ago and ever since I've wondered what my life would have been like if I'd grown up his daughter. #tooreal

    Where to begin???
    I am happy with my wife and kids so that's good but career wise I would love to be a chef. Of course, that's without knowing all the crap aspects of the job. I wish I had been more confident when I was younger. Probably a few girls that might have gone out with me had I had the balls to ask them. I wish I had gotten in shape about 30 years ago (still not there yet but trying).
    I think for the most part I wouldn't change that much. More threesomes maybe (or at least one...

    I would have gone to community college instead of going to and dropping out of an expensive private school. Eleven years later and I'm still trying to pay off that debt and finish the degree I started.

    I'd be that free, adventurous woman that I know I am inside and let my gypsy soul roam, dancing all the nights away....
