List O’Shame

It’s that time of year when most of us seem to go into a mad cleaning frenzy as the hint of spring colours the air with fresh tingly feeling of the warmer weather to come. In light of this “need to clean” I am posting a to do list in hopes that it will shame me into getting off my large procrastinating derriere and actually do some of the stuff that I have been meaning to do for the past season.

The list:

Sort out the two months worth of recycling that has made it’s home in a large corner of our kitchen. [No, there is really no valid excuse for the mass of stuff that has accumulated. Just an inability to get said lazy procrastinating butt in gear, and actually make the trip downstairs to the recycling bin]

Sort through pile of papers that has accumulated in the corners of our office, in the front hall and dresser. Empty out and sort through the boxes left from our move. Throw out/donate stuff that will never be used, and store the stuff the rest in locker.

Vacuum, dust, mop, clean and air out every nook and cranny in our flat.

Re-caulk bathtub and sink.

Take the large bag of clothing that we have not worn in a decade down to good will.

Finally put shelves and some artwork on walls. [We’ve been here for over a year and we still haven’t hung up artwork. Minus one piece that was put up in a “we need colour and culture on the wall sulk”]

Fill out income tax forms and mail to Gov’t.

Install Gallery and sort through pictures.

Finish the designs that were promised months ago to two very patient individuals. Yes this means you and you.

So who wants to bet that none of this will actually get done in the next month?
