I’m counting this as done. I talked to two more strangers today. It has something to do with being a mom. It started with finding out about a sling/wrap a girl had on.
But I’m going to keep doing it, when the time is right.

44. Get all dolled up and go to the mall, with the express purpose of being ogled. It has been SO long since I have looked even remotely human, that I think I deserve it.

41. Grow my hair to my waist
42. Teach Elijah to pray
43. Get baptized

Well, I started a conversation with a stranger today. Yay! My new glasses gave me confidence!
I saw this cool stroller attachment that was like a mosquito netting. I wanted to figure out where the mom had gotten it, cuz I’ve been wanting something like it. Turns out that it came with the stroller. BUT…we talked for a minute or so. And it was completely spontaneous, unplanned and easy! She was super nice and friendly; my only problem is: how long do I stay and talk? I don’t want to impose, and we were in a hurry. So I kinda cut it short. But not to be impolite or anything.
So now I need to figure out if I can cross this off my list, or if I need to keep doing it. Hmmm, will have to contemplate.

40. Live off of $20 a week. (taken from blondewithabrain – really good idea, I hope you don’t mind if I borrow it!)

38. Trace my family tree back at LEAST four generations
39. Learn to trot and canter

37. Read the 9/11 Investigations & Commission Report

1. Figure out how long 1001 days is!

When does the 1001 days begin? Does it start when I make my first “to-do”, or does it start when I finish my list? Hmmm…
