Progress

I really like lists. And I like checking things off of lists. Remember this post (October 18)? I've decided to post my progress to date on these items. I'm starting to get even more realistic in accepting that some of this might not be 100% done. Obviously, some items are more urgent or deadline driven than others. Also - I've added a few new items to the bottom of the list (in green). While they are new things that I want to try to do before the end of December, they are things that I really really enjoy doing. I'm including them because they're going to make the next few weeks all the more fun if I include them. The tasks I've managed to complete have been striken through (woo hoo!)

2. Buy the tub, the sink, the faucets, counter, cabinetry and remaining odds and ends for our 3rd floor bathroom (stalled until we hire the contractor)(0%)
