March 2011 Recap

It’s that time again. Time to recap. So why do I do this? First of all my memory is terrible and often find myself wondering when such and such happened. Second of all I love lists and information. Third of all I believe I am a type A personality. Enough said.

Here's a look at March 2011:

• I survived the sinking of the Titanic; 1912 (book)(kids book - trying to get Matt to read it but I love anything about the Titanic anyway);
