Ok. I'm gonna do it...
Day Zero Project...
Remember? I posted about it here a couple of weeks ago. I have my list of 101 things ready and I'm starting today! Since I'm starting this project/list today, Sunday, July 1, 2012, I should have everything finished in 1001 days on March 28, 2015. And if I don't...that will be okay too. I promise not to be overly obsessive compulsive, to get upset if something doesn't go as planned, and to celebrate the items I cross off the list.
I've broken the list up into categories:
Family & Friends
1. Make a baby.
2. Have a baby.
3. Make another baby.
4. Have another baby.
5. Create one new family tradition each year.
6. Call my Grandma Ellison more.
