What Was I Thinking?!

Lately I have been asking myself, "What was I thinking?!"

I have some clothes hanging in a closet which I don't use often. (Neither the clothes nor the closet.) The other day I was looking for something and saw a skirt which I payed good money for and thought was cute. And I thought I looked good in it! It kind of resembles old lady drapes to me now.

What was I thinking?!

I bought a 5 lb bag of egg noodles. We are not noodle people. We are potato people. Call me Mrs. Potato Head.

What was I thinking?

I almost gave away a perfectly good black "iron" plate hanger because the stinkin' plates would not fit in the holders. Upon closer examination, I realized I had been hanging the thing upside down!

What was I thinking?

Last summer at Dillard's I bought a pair of shoes in gray - the new "in" color. The first and only time I wore them my husband said they reminded him of a pair his granny wore. They're kinda cute, aren't they? Anybody wear a 7 1/2 and you don't mind donning footwear that looks like One Fine Man's granny's shoes?

What was I thinking?

I decided to give up sugar and anything sweetened with sugar or sweetener for 21 days. Enough said.

What was I thinking?

So....I'm rethinking these choices and this is what I've come up with:

I think I'll take the skirt to GoodWill because one woman's ugly skirt is another crafty woman's pillow.

And I think I'll make beef stroganoff 2 or 20 times.

And I think I'll check for where the hanger holes are (What else do you call them?) the next time I buy a hanging thing.

And even though the shoes look better off than on, I think I'll wear them with trousers.

And since I've lost 2 pounds since going sugar/sweet free, I think I'll keep my goal of 21 days!

Those are pretty good ways to use my "noodle(s)" don't you think?
How about you? Have you had a "What was I thinking?!" moment lately?

Thoughtfully yours,
Melanie
