Bonus Round: Thirty Days of [blank]
I hear it takes thirty days to make something a habit. Thirty days. In a sense, that a long time if we’re talking sobriety. But compared to growing an entire person, that’s like, what, one ninth? NUTHIN’! I say.
Well, let’s just see about that.
Starting August First (grab your iCalendar! QUICK!) which is Saturday, I’m starting a new series: Thirty Days of [blank]. I’ll try to post once a month for thirty days as I accomplish some sort of task. Working out 30 days in a row? Drinking enough water? Going sober? No caffiene? Reading actual books that require one you lick their finger and turn an actual page?
You wanna join my crack pot lastest idea? Of course you do. You do because it’s good for you. Because thirty days of sex isn’t a bad idea. Because thirty days of yoga can’t be wrong. Because thirty days of singing out loud with the guitar that’s been hiding in your closet since the late 90’s can only mean one thing: You’re you.
And I’m me.
Let’s do this together.
Starting Saturday.

I’m in, but do I have to pick what I want to do for 30 days right this second? Because if so, I’m not sure yet.

I’ve been trying to come up with a project to jump start my creativity. I don’t have a blog, but I can participate throuch flickr. I know people have been doing the 365 day project, and I might extend it beyond the 30 days, but this 30 Days of {Blank} is just the boost that I need.

P.S. I’m going to switch my email address, so I will link up to my flickr account.

Does masturbation count?
[Reply]
I’m in. I’ll actually do the Shred jobbyjob.
[Reply]
I’m in. I need to get back into fiction writing. 30 days of writing would be a great start.
[Reply]
I’ve actually been considering trying to make dinner every day for a week and decided that was asking too much of myself. So that one’s out. But 30 days of…SOMETHING??? Maybe…
(BTW – you wrote “I’ll try to post once a month for thirty days”)

I’m on board! No clothes shopping for me!
[Reply]
I’m so in! 30 days of writing EVERY DAY!!!!
[Reply]
I want to plaaaaaaaaay. I just don’t know what I want to do yet.
[Reply]
Not sure what I want to attempt, but I’m definitely entertaining the idea… I’ll see what I come up with when my brain clears up later on in the day.

Holy balls – Maria “Does masturbation count?” – I’m with her except the last time I over RUBBED it, I ended up w/ a UTI. /overshare
[Reply]
OMFG i love you leslie!!!
30 days of sucky-sucky?? Hahahaha
I *think* I could do 30 days of sex…snort.
[Reply]
I’d be in, but I’m a notorious flake. That being said, I might accidentally do something for 30 days.
[Reply]
I’m with Maria (mommy melee). If masturbation counts then I’m in.
[Reply]
Can it be pot? Ah shit Daren is never home I gotta be responsible and crap.
You pick something for me and I’ll do it.
This is going to backfire on me isn’t it?
[Reply]
I think I’m in! I’ll sign up to do 30 days of … pictures. I will take and post at least one picture every day in August (but a few will have to be posted after I return from our camping trips).
[Reply]
[...] Things, Random Things, Sarah Things What can I say, I’m a follower. I heard about this Thirty Days of Blank doo-hickey and I signed right up. I’ve decided to do thirty days of pictures. So starting [...]
I’m totes in. And I know what I want to do for my first 30 days. I want to write. In a journal. Life lessons. Notes to myself. Things I’m grateful for. Things I need to remind myself. It’s 30 days of love to myself. August is going to be a hard month, but I’m going to do it. It’s 30 days of loving myself.
[Reply]
I can’t even maintain something for 30 seconds? 30 days? Hmmmmmm, iCalendar? I have a Calendar thingy on this computer? Holy shit, I didn’t know that.
Must think on this…are we starting August 1st?
[Reply]
Awww damn, I’m in. Lets do this, beeshes!
[Reply]
I think I may try 30 days of pictures…I want to take more pictures…I NEED to.
[Reply]
I’m also with Maria. 30 days of masturbation. Though I thought it took 21 days in a row for a habit to form. still, 30 is better.
[Reply]
OMG…the pressure, especially for a girl that has the attention span of a gnat. I did completely empty out my reader the day after I got back from BlogHer. Maybe I’ll spend the 30 days finding one new blog to read a day. Too much pressure? How will I keep up? Will have to think on this one…
[Reply]
This sounds great! What a way to finish out the summer! What to pick…so many options for self improvement? Hmmm, this is going to take some thought.
[Reply]
I’m so in! I’m going to walk every day for 30 days, yes walk. Or masturbate, I like that one too. Maybe I’ll do both.
[Reply]
found you stumbling my way around the webiverse. i’m totally in but i’ll have to figure out just what it is i want to do for 30days…..
[Reply]
Yeah, o.k., I’m in. Thirty days of cleaning. Seriously. It’s THAT bad. Besides, my Mom said she might come and visit for Labor Day. That would be really really bad if I didn’t do some serious cleaning.
[Reply]
I’m so going to do this. I’ll have to decide WHAT I’m going to do, but I’m *so* going to do it!
[Reply]
I really should do this 30 days thing.
Like 30 days of not eating peanut butter out of the jar.
[Reply]
That’s so weird because I was planning on doing 30 days of wearing skirts in August (it will make my husband happy and make me take more care with my appearance). That’s a bizarre coincidence don’t you think? weird! weird! weird!
[Reply]
I am in….I have been trying to get to the gym. For a month, I have been not going. But Saturday I am there. I even cleaned my garage to avoid going. I agree, it’s sad.
Thank you for the motivation.
[Reply]
Excellent idea! No clue what I will choose, but I’m going to do it.
[Reply]
I’m in. I’ll join the walking group.
[Reply]
I found your website via some other website via The Pioneer Woman. Anyway, I’m going sober for 30 days come saturday. I’d already decided on this, but am glad to know I’m in good company for August blank-ness. =)
[Reply]
I am totally in. Gonna take the next couple of days to figure out which to do – blog or take pictures. I have been slacking on both fronts. Don’t even get me started on the working out. Oy vey. Won’t even set myself for failure on that one!
Great idea! Just the kick in the ass I needed.
[Reply]
This is an excellent idea. I have to think of something to do. Actually I know what I *should* do, but I think I’m setting myself up for failure if I commit to 30 days straight of working out. #isuck
[Reply]
Ok, i’m new, but game. I think i will try to do 30 days of cleaning (30 mins. worth?) and drawing 30 mins. and trying to work up the nerve to ride my gelding for a short time every day….a tough one because i am 54 and overweight, but need to keep is training up.
I’ts just a couple of hours a day, can’t be that hard, right? Even if I shorten it to 15 mins of each thing, it’s something…..Hell YAH!
[Reply]
My husband started a blog earlier this year trying to document 1 new habit every month. It’s a great idea! http://lifeisalaboratory.blogspot.com/
I think I’ll suggest your blog to get him back to it! And I’ll join in, too. What to do…what to do?
[Reply]
This sounds super fun! What a fantastic idea. You had me at “But compared to growing an entire person, that’s like, what, one ninth?”
Love it.
[Reply]
I came across this site via Mrs Flinger via Pioneer Woman. I LOVE your idea. I am still tossing a couple ideas back and forth but I think I am going to go with 30 days of laundry b/c that is truly my housekeeping downfall. Not very exciting, but if I can develop a better habit of, not just washing and folding, but PUTTING AWAY IMMEDIATELY, my bedroom and the kids’ bedrooms will be so much neater!
Harmony–my sister just recently blogged about being more feminine and wearing more skirts. (http://mjwaters.blogspot.com/)
Thanks!

30 days of listing at least ONE auction a day. That is at least doable, although I’d like to make it 30 day sof listing 10 a day…
[Reply]
Found you via Pioneer Woman. Love the idea and I’m in. Not sure exactly what I’m going to give up or start yet, but I’m in.
[Reply]
Found your site via PW too. What a great idea, I’m in. 2 days to decide – I think I can come up with something.
[Reply]
Holy Bizarre-Crazy-Fate-Thing Batman! I have planned a “30 Days of..” project for August and then this morning found your site via two other blogs. It will be great to follow along with others. I plan to write (with an actual pen and paper) and mail (with an actual stamp and physical address) a letter to a different friend everyday.
Can’t wait to follow along!

Love this idea. 6 hour drive in the car today should give me plenty of opportunity to decide what it will be.
Although the sex idea resonates with me right off the bat.
[Reply]
I found you from Pioneer Woman’s Web site. Yeah I want to do 30 days of something! Mine’s boring … eating healthy, but I’m along for the ride!
[Reply]
30 days of writing, here I come!!
To keep myself accountable, I’m going to post word counts everyday on my blog.
[Reply]
You have just inspired me! I’m trying to lose weight, and my birthday month of July has thrown me way off course. I am going to attempt to go the 30 days staying within my calorie limit, and working out at least 3 days per week. Woo! It’s going to be hard, but I hope I can manage it, and make real changes in those 30 days!
