March Madness

I have been wondering what nablopomo meant since I started this whole blogging journey and today I found out. It is National Blog Posting Month - a commitment to post to your blog every day for a month. Since I found it today and today is the first day of March, I choose March to try to make this happen.

The theme this month is lists. I am happy about that because I think I am also starting the 101 in 1001 days. I started yesterday, but I haven't posted the list.

I am due to end on November 26, 2010. Roby's birthday. How poetic.

Here is my initial list of 101 things in 1001 days. I reserve the right to change the list...and to complete it.
