I'm nothing if not thorough

Just noticed the link to the Austin Monthly article is only a link to buy the issue.  It's a good one so I recommend getting it if you can, but for the sake of my adventure, I will list the things I will be attempting to do this summer here.

Ground rules (which are of course subject to change as I am a woman): I have decided that if a section offers several choices of an activity, I do not have to do all of them to satisfy that section (although I might on occasion if it really floats my boat) (which, as luck would have it, is one of the sections...).  I also will not be doing them in the order listed as some have specific dates and times that would render it impossible to complete on time.  As it is, I have 94 days (now 90... tick tock, tick tock) to complete 110 things.  I will bold them as I check them off the list!

Now you can think I'm as crazy as my family does.

Hey there!-
Can you put links to the various blog posts from this page? I've been checking the list out on the weekend to find some things to do and it would be great to link from this overall page!! Not sure if its possible, but you know how I love organization. Plus, then I can go back when I want to go to Walnut Creek Park and I can't quite remember the exact name of the park--but I remember the story from the blog post--I'll be able to find that blog post really easy.
Am i making life difficult? : )

[Dorothy G. Caldwell]

I just re-read your post! If I'd read it right the first time I could have answered it correctly because my solution was to your actual question! Duh!

[Dorothy G. Caldwell]

And you mean a link to the blog post from that page, right? Or a link to the place?

[Rosemaryhoffman]

A link to the blog post would be great! I think you already have the link to the place (at least the ones I've checked) to the place---the post makes me remember why I want to go so the link from this overall page would be great! Unless there is a better way to navigate the posts--other than going through one by one. i.e I might want to find that lounge lizards one again around Oct. 1. What's my easiest way to do that?

[Dorothy G. Caldwell]

Until I can do an archive down the side that's permanent (requires a paid upgrade!), I will permalink to each blog post from the main list here (and referenced again at the bottom of each post).

Thanks for the idea, Ro!

[Rosemaryhoffman]

Thanks! I just found another way....I just google...Real Housewife of Oakhill plus anything that I remember from the blog post....for example...I remembered the Greune Hall one--but I couldn't remember it exactly---but I did remember the onion rings. Funny. I love onion rings. Anyway...I googled all the words and there! That blog post popped up as the top one on google! Isn't google great? : )

[Dorothy G. Caldwell]

You're so smart!

I will still do the links. I just need time!!

[Dorothy G. Caldwell]

Soooooo... it only took me seven months to get all the links onto the main list of events.

Sorry.
