I saw this post over on Everything Happens for a Reason and decided this was going to be my Monday post.
I came to an epiphany this morning that I really suck at Monday morning posts.
I always say I'm going to write at least my Monday post on Sunday so I'm prepared but that never happens because A) we are off doing something. Yesterday was a ton of yard work, family pictures, and some Red Lobster or B) I'm being a lazy bum.
It's usually B so everyone knows.
Tomorrow will be the weekend and more specifically Cinco de Mayo recap.
Until then...here is a list of 99 things I have either done or have not done!
The bold items are the ones that I have done
