*deep breath*
I made my first dentist appointment in over a year for tomorrow morning. Yes, I know that's bad, but I made myself promise to keep up regularly for my 101 in 1001 (and hopefully for the rest of my life now). It's so bad that I need to be gassed just for a cleaning, and even after that I have to keep myself from going into panic-flail mode.
On the plus side, I finally emailed Tallgrass to sign up for use of some gift shop space. I can't wait to see which months I get!

101 in 1001 Extras
I love writing lists, so off course once I started this, I couldn't stop. Here are some of my extra fill-ins.
1. Take a plane trip (I've never been on one)
2. Go fishing with my dad this summer
3. Take one of the crime scene classes offered at school
Hopefully that's it...

End of the Knit-A-Mile challenge
I knit through 1647yds. (A mile is 1760yds.), which is way more than I ever expected. I would like to give a big thanks to the flu and Illinois' terrible weather!
