This seemed like fun

In order to keep blogging, I have to have material. I know that no one wants to read about how little sleep I have gotten (3 hours to be exact) and that Bugaboo is off for two weeks without therapy, and we are in day two and he is already off the wall and will never go back. Ok, I just told you, but I digress...

So I saw this on Nancy's site, and thought it'd be fun to do: Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday. Record Three events, two births and one death.
