Day Zero Project: 101 Things in 1001 days

Recently I came across a blog post made my Sarah on the Go! she had discovered the Day Zero Project – Day Zero is a community for people who love creating lists, setting challenges, and making positive changes in their lives. I love this idea, I think it is a great way to get things you have always wanted to do DONE. It makes life a little more fun and interesting. If you have a task on the list and the opportunity arises to be able to complete that task then you HAVE to do it, rather than procrastinate, or not do it at all. I started to compile my list on March 29, 2012 and will need to complete all the tasks below by Dec. 25, 2014. This blog post is my first completed task and the first $10.00 deposit being made into my Buddha bank.

If this has inspired you to create your own list please let me know so I can knock #52 off my list.

Happy Springtime New Year’s Eve … a.k.a St. Patrick’s Day

Today is St. Paddy’s Day the one day of the year when everyone is Irish. For us Single Gals it’s Springtime New Year’s Eve. This is one of those occasions when the pubs are packed and everyone is friendly, flirty and social. From my experience it seems that the only time people feel it is okay to chat you up at a bar is Halloween, New Years, and St. Paddy’s Day. These occasions are a free pass to let your guard down and just have fun; it’s when guys realize that conversation does not lead to us Single Gals wanting to be their Baby Momma.

This is also an occasion for us Single Gals to let our guard down, be fun and flirty and realize that we can have a conversation with a guy and he does not have to be our future Baby Daddy. As for me it’s a good excuse for a Girl’s Night, where we can wear silly t-shirts, eat greasy pub food and drink enough beer so that by the end of the night I actually think I look like this:

If you are celebrating St. Paddy’s Day today be fun, flirty and social, remember you may not meet your future Baby Daddy but you may hook up with a HOT Irish boy because you’ve drunk enough green beer to actually think he looks like this:

Cheers to Green Beer!!
