I've got big plans for you, humble abode...

I have a ton of catching up to do on posts.  I know that I haven't posted about New Year's, Christmas, or even *gasp* Thanksgiving!  I will get there, eventually.  In the meantime, though, I feel that I must put this out in the blogosphere.  My son will be two in less than a month.  Wait, did you get that?  MY SON WILL BE TWO IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!!  How did we get here?!  How can this possibly be?!  I have no idea, but there it is. 

Of course, I am planning a party for him that will involve his grandparents come from far and near to visit.  Because of this, I am on a personal mission to be sure that I have certain house projects done before we have visitors.  I am determined.  Now that I have a goal, I will be more motivated to complete the tasks at hand.  Maybe if I share my specific tasks that I am creating for myself, I will be held accountable.  You know, since it is now "out there".  I will even blog about the projects so as to (hopefully) keep me on track.  So without further ado:
 

my house projects to tackle before we have company

•  prime and paint the pantry door
• hang the pantry door (yes, right now we have no pantry door)
• remove shelving from the guest room
• remove desk and file cabinet from the guest room
• hang curtains on window and closet in guest room
• move bed to the center of the wall in guest room
• put sheets and comforter on guest bed
• clear master bedroom of clutter
• hang something on the wall above the cat's food
• complete (so obviously, also begin) Operation DVD Relocation Project
• store living room blankets in ottoman
• hang SOMETHING in large frame on living room wall
• hang SOMETHING in frame over bed in master bedroom

Doesn't seem too bad, right?  I have exactly one month to complete this list.  I can do this.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
