Live Like You Were Dying
I am not entirely sure I have any regrets. There are things I wish I had never done in my life, stupid things in my youth really, but looking back on them I don't know if I would actually change them because they have helped to mould me into the woman I am today. If I knew I only had two weeks to live I would spend it with the people I love. There would be no grand journeys for me, no mad shopping sprees… I would want to spend the last moments of my life with those who I believed truly cared about me. That, and writing as much as I can. I would love to leave this world with something tangible to show for it.

A Mind-Blowing Experience
Honestly, if I could change one thing about where I lived I would take the completely selfish route and build myself a huge, advanced home theater room. It would have everything: a snack bar, projection screen, surround sound… And all of the movies and television seasons my heart could possibly desire. There would be enough room for anyone to be able to come over and put their feet up (in patent leather chairs, no less) and just forget about their worries. The screen itself would be bigger than one could even fathom, capable of devouring the room with it's projected world.

Cleaning and Maintaining Outdoor Sectional
You are lucky if you have an outdoor sectional in your garden. This kind of furniture brings elegance and beauty to your house. However, if you want it to be always looking at its best, you have to maintain and clean it. Learn the different cleaning tools that you have in your house. Make a schedule on when you will clean it and how often in a week. You can start by removing the cluttered things like books, magazines, and newspaper. You can use a brush to remove the dust and to reach the areas which are difficult to clean. Be careful in using cleaning agents as this might destroy the furniture. You can cover your outdoor sectional if you are not going to use it. In this way, you can prevent it from the dust.

Nerd Out
I would go back in time.  I would love to see how the Native Americans truly lived.  Just to observe and not interfere.  If that was possible, I would love to go see the Ancient Greeks and really any ancient people that I could.  It would be a great learning experience and I’m sure that it could be very beneficial to modern times to see it the way it really was.  Ooh, checking out the Dark Ages would be very interesting too.  I like to nerd out sometimes and think that the “Gods” or aliens as others believe, are truly our distant future going back in time and checking things out.

Replacing your Bathroom Vanity
Bath vanity is useful in many ways. Unlike a pedestal sink, you can use your bath vanity as storage; and, it adds elegance to any bathroom. However, you might have small bathroom that needs a pedestal sink to make it look bigger. You can remove your old bath vanity by turning off the shutoff valve that connects to the hot and cold water. Make sure that there is no water left in the lines. With the use of a knife, cut the lines that connect the bath vanity to the wall. You can then remove the other screws that attach the vanity to the wall. Lastly, you can now install the pedestal sink.

Quiet Moments
The regret I have most over the last 5 years, spearheaded by age eighteen and nineteen, is how often my arrogance and self-righteousness, caused me to hurt people. I often acted impetuously, hurting people by speaking carelessly or not thinking. I ruined several opportunities by alienating employers who were preferring me a hand up, by acting like a cocksure punk who was smarter than them, often revealing my age and inexperience. I wish I had possessed the wisdom and maturity to recognize those opportunities for what they were, and the sensitivity to see how my words and actions hurt my friends. I wish I had the sense to just shut my mouth.

Clock Talk
If I suddenly found I only had two weeks to live, I might regret the hours I've spent playing video games, chatting online, or vegging on the couch. So much of my time is spent idling, not improving myself or enjoying myself. I'd regret not writing more, not training more, not cooking more and not tasting more. I'd only have those regrets if I was dying, so I might not change things to make up for them immediately. If I were, though, I might sell all my possessions and fly to Europe, and eat at the cafes and restaurants of all those Mercer chefs I've only read about, die with a full stomach and a clear conscience. If you're dying, there's no reason to feel guilty about the pastries.

Cozy Afternoons on the Sofa
How would you like to spend a lazy afternoon? Most people would love to go out, go to malls or linger at some nearby coffee shop. Others also prefer to stay home, just enjoying the laidback ambiance. Indeed, this is another terrific way to spend a boring afternoon just getting seated on a sofa outdoor and marveling at nature’s beauty. This is a relaxing way to spend the day. You can comfortably sleep on an outdoor sofa or couch. This is just perfect for you and for the entire family. You can check for different designs at the nearest local home depot.

Coming back to haunt me?
If I had the chance to confront someone from my past it would be my grandmother. She passed away a while ago, and she was important to me and my family. She was so wise, smart and funny. There were so many stories she had, I do not think she got a chance to tell them all. There is a lot to be said about learning from other people and my grandmother is a great example. She was a great cook too. I could definitely use some of her cooking skills. She was so wise, and would be a great source of advice for anything I life.

Chill on an Outdoor Sofa
At times, the weather won’t seem just to cooperate. There are those days which are really humid. When the weather is getting unbearably hot, there are several ways on how you can keep yourself cool. You can stay inside and turn on the air conditioner or you can stay outdoors and enjoy the crisp air. It is better if you prefer the natural way of keeping yourself cool. You can stay outside, preferably under a shade of a tree and seated on an outdoor sofa. Do not also forget to grab a good book and spend the entire afternoon outside.
