I might have an overly ambitious to do list… I’m just gonna lay it all out here and see where I end up after a week or so.  This is in no particular order or priority, just stuff that needs to get done (by me, sadly)…most of this is stuff that has been hanging around for months (and I mean MONTHS) and I just never find the time.  I’m currently starting a two-week focus to see how much I can do.  No more procrastinating…let’s get ‘er done!

Day One (Thursday) I managed to knock a few things off the list as the result of the washing machine overflowing suds all over the laundry room floor, requiring me to spend quite a bit of time in there pulling everything out, cleaning, inspecting, and finally putting everything back in it’s rightful place.

Laundry Room- Shelving solution above Washer/Dryer
