Feeling better and NaNoWriMo is finally over. Thank you for your nice words. Once I get some sleep, I’ll get caught up responding to your lovely answers. A reminder: I always read every post, whether I think of something clever and charming to say or not! Reading your 5s is a highlight of my week.

  1. When did someone last offer you a second chance?
  2. For how many seconds can you hold your breath?
  3. What movie was better on second viewing?
  4. What’s your second-favorite song by your second-favorite musician?
  5. When did you most recently have to redo something because you were careless or sloppy?

I was going to ask about going back for seconds at the buffet and I was going to ask about getting to the figurative second base, but we’ve already covered that first question in different forms and I don’t think I’d answer the second question for anyone, so I’m not asking. 🙂

Thanks for participating, and have a lovely lovely wonderful wonderful safe safe weekend!
