I got the crap room cleaned up yesterday so I can actually walk in here. Cleaned off the shelves under the basement stairs and Freecycled a bunch of serving pieces I never use. Most have been picked up already, so I have some space to rearrange things a bit.

The sofa and loveseat were cleaned Monday and so far I am keeping the dog off of them. Honestly, I think the kids make more of a mess than she does, but it's worth a shot. They are 11 this year and they're off-white so anything I can do to prolong their life is good.

I have a few outside projects in the works, too -- a newsletter and the voiceover for a slide presentation, so those will keep me busy as well.

Nice to have a place to organize my thoughts. Sorry to bore you.

    You're not boring me . . . just reminding me that I need a list! LOL

  2. I first visited your house thought you were real brave or slightly crazy to have white couches in a home with little boys.

    Little did I know...you're both! :D

    I made lists today too...most likely you'll get yours done before I get mine done, but a journey of 1000 miles...
