#4- Remember to charge your phone overnight

It's probably a good idea to charge your phone overnight or whenever you get the opportunity so it will work when you need it. Then again, if you don't want to be bothered with calls, you can always say the battery was dead.

#3 - Don't put everything in the dryer

It's probably a good idea not to put all of your clothes in the dryer. Underwear will last longer, clothes won't pill as easily, your clothes smell fresher, and you're helping the environment by conserving electricity. I had a special clothes pole built this year and I love it.

#2 - Call your friend and don't wait for them to call you

It's probably a good idea to call that person who's been on your mind and don't wait for them to call you. It's not about ego, it's about friendship and nourishing that friendship. If they've been on your mind, then don't ignore getting in touch with them. And if I have a dream about that person, I call or email them and tell them. I've learned not ignore my dreams.

# 1 - Buy more of the seasonal candy while they have it.

It's probably a good idea to buy extra of that yummy seasonal candy or item you love. Ok, I know it's not that important. But I really loved the new peppermint salt water taffy that Trader Joe's had this Christmas. I did buy 4 bags, but thought after Christmas I would stock up on more for the year. ( I REALLY like them). So guess what, the new flavors are in and the peppermint ones are gone! Lesson learned - buy a case the next time and don't count on something seasonal sticking around.

The Beginning

In the middle of my long walk today on a gorgeous crisp day at the end of December I was listening to Amy Grant sing on my IPod and the idea of writing a blog came to me. Well, it was really initiated by my son, Brendon, who sent me a message the other day saying I should have my own blog. So I thought, how about, "It's Probably Not a Good Idea". Last year I had an encounter with a student who wanted to buy an arrow on a field trip. I told him it probably wasn't a good idea. Well, long story short he bought it and I said to him, "Didn't I tell you not to buy it?" He replied, "No, you said it wasn't a good idea."

Well, there you have it. Speak clearly. So rather writing negative messages I decided to switch it up by writing, "It's Probably A Good Idea". So here goes all my random thoughts. Bear with me. Then again I may be the only one who reads this!
