Day Zero Project

So yesterday I read about the Day Zero Project.  It's where you make a list of 101 things you want to do in 1001 days and you actually do them.  I decided this would be a LOT of fun!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Last night, we started this list together. 

 We watched No Country for Old Men and Cars.  NCfOM was great until the end.  Both J and I were REALLY disappointed with the ending - otherwise, the acting was convincing and the basic storyline was intense. 

Cars is always a favorite choice.  It's such a happy Disney Pixar movie.

I am very much looking forward to this list, even though some aspects are really daunting!  I will be sure to blog about each item and keep a link on the Day Zero Page.  Enjoy!!!
