January 2nd 2011 is best to….

Cut Hair to Retard Growth, Mow to Retard Growth, Castrate Farm Animals, Harvest, Pick Apples and Pears, Wean, Potty Train, Perform Demolition, Wash Wooden Floors, Wash Windows, Start Diet to Lose Weight, Advertise to Sell, Buy a Car

By the way, I’m starting the 365 Project where you post a photo everyday for 2011. If you took a picture yesterday, you can get started too! I was going to do this on my own, but I think doing the Project will keep me motivated. Here is yesterday’s post Chilly Jump on 365 Project

Click in the photo and it will take you to the project. Let me know if you are going to do it!  —Sharon
