Happy November! can you believe it's already here?! I can't...jeez time is flying by! In honor of today being November first, I'm joining some of my favorite bloggers Neely and Kiley in the NaBloPoMo November Blog challenge hosted by BlogHer
All you have to do is blog every day for the entire month. Sounds easy right? hmm we'll see, but I'm going to give it a fair shot.
It being the first and all actually ties in nicely to what I wanted to write about today so without further ado...
I give you my first post of November:
I'm obsessed with The Buried Life. If you haven't seen an episode, please do asap. The gist of it is that a group of guys have a list of things they want to do before they die. For every thing they check off their own list, they help a stranger fulfill something on their own lists. I've also seen a lot of bloggers on here who joined the day zero project, which helps you create your list and gives you 1001 days to complete them...and for someone like me, a deadline is what I need.

Who knows how long it will take me to cross everything off of it but it's an interesting thought: What do you want to do before you die? I've started making lists like these for months but always lose track of them or change my mind or get distracted or or orrrrrr....just life. So here's my new list-- a little I've taken from old lists, some I've taken from other peoples lists, some I found through the idea finder on Day Zero, some are silly and wishful dreams I'd like to make happen, some are things that I need to do and haven't made myself do them..I made a page for my list you can check every so often to see if I'm making any progress just click the tab at the top of my blog that says "101 in 1001"
I'll cross things off as I make them happen, i'll italicize the ones that are a work in progress, and the rest will be what I haven't done yet..wish me luck!
