  4. @ Brooke & @E@Oh!Apostrophe - It's really not THAT bad :) It's mostly little things...and there is less than 50 items, so we would only need to do 1/week. And there is no guarentee we'll get everything done; but we can sure try!

  6. Your list is as long as the one in my head. I decided to only officially proclaim a few of them as goals so I don't fell overwhelmed like last year. A lot of yours are fairly easy to do like buying lamps and stools.
