My List

Infertility is like a supervillain. It has the unique power to make one feel useless. Normally confident, intelligent, energetic women are rendered frustrated, downtrodden, and mopey by Intfertility's pernicious influence. It can defeat you by making you feel unproductive. One weapon against Infertility is work: work, work, work. Unfortunately, it has an evil henchman called "The Weekend", when you have lots of time to think about what you're NOT doing...

I have found a way to combat Infertility: the 101 in 1,001 List. If you haven't made one - you totally SHOULD! As you check things off the list, it makes you feel like you've accomplished something worthy and important. Sure, it's not the "one" thing that you want to accomplish, but it's still worthwhile!

Today, I got to check off: Take a crochet lesson. My little town doesn't have much, but there happen to be a plethora of retired women who will do just about anything for $25. So, I spent 2 hours today learning how to do a fancy crochet stitch. My goal is to make my sister's new baby (due in May) a baby blanket. My grandmother used to make them for all of us, and she passed away about 8 years ago, so I'm picking up where she left off. Plus, it will give me something to do on our 18-hour drive out to Cali in December. You can only listen to so many books on tape…

Get on Day Zero Projectand make a list of your own! You can even look at my list for ideas if you want: my username is ashleeneva. What will you do today?
