preparations

I'm getting ready: drinking fluids, reading, staring at my navel, and pondering my existence. Tomorrow begins NaBloPoMo March 2008: 31 posts in 31 days. The theme is lists, and I've been working on a list of lists. Here goes (in no particular oder):

1. Things I took for granted before I had kids (thanks Mandy)
2. Character Flaws
3. Hearts desire at age eleven
4. Best Things about Staying at Home
5. Worst Things about Staying at Home
6. Classic Grace phrases
7. Regrets
8. Goals
9. What I want to learn
10. Grace’s favorite books
11. Favorite Toys
12. Things I like about Macon
13. Things I don’t like about Macon
14. Why having children is completely irrational
15. Nicknames
16. Reasons why college students need a spanking
17. Curious things about Macon
18. If I had a million dollars
19. What to do with the stimulus check
20. Names for our mouse
21. Who are the people in my neighborhood
22. Words I hope will never enter Grace and Julia’s vocabulary
23. Insecurities
24. Blogs I visit
25. Signs that you need a romance makeover
26. ...

Okay, so I have 25 ideas, and some are clearly better than others. In fact when I told Craig about number 25, he groaned (in that do-you-really-have-to-post-about-our-romantic-life kind of way). That gives me an idea, what about "ways in which I drive my spouse crazy", that just might be number 26.

So my friends, if you have any ideas, send them my way. I will see you tomorrow.
