My 43 Things

As some of you may know, I'm growing my hair long for donating. A few of my colleagues donated their hair to Locks of Love, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. Why not? It's for a good cause and I've always been told I have healthy hair.

Today I was doing some research to see if there were any other organizations out there besides Locks of love (www.locksoflove.org). In my Google search, I came upon the website 43 Things (www.43things.com).

Basically it's just a site where users can post a their lists of 43 things to do. I've found heaven!!!!! A website of LISTS!!!!! Well, it got me thinking about my 43 things.

I wonder why they set the number at 43? Personally I think it would have been more auspicious if the number was set at 42. Hee-hee, it probably would have been copyright infringment or something (^ ^)
