the 12 days of christmas cleaning . . .

so yesterday i sat down and made a list of every darn thing i could think of that needed to be cleaned/organized in my world.  i ended up with 12 major categories.  i analyzed my calendar and realized i had exactly 12 days productive days left in 2011.  i'm excluding christmas eve and day and new year's eve, obviously.  so one category a day.  it's a plan.  i think i can do this.  at the end of day two i don't have any lines fully completed, but i'm close in several.  i'm humming the eye of the tiger as i work.  i'm most intimidated my the computer line.  there are currently 3632 emails in my inbox.  nasty that.  i'm also well aware of the fact that the back bedroom takes up 3 entire lines.  it's currently in the "it's gonna get worse before it gets better" phase.  i'm way amused by g's hair(cut) falling into the pet category.  tempted to add my legs to that category as well.  but eh.  i've got enough to do as it is.  shockingly, i'm rather excited about this endeavor.  ringing in the new year with a clean house would be such a lovely christmas gift.  :)

I love that! Good luck and call me if you need encouragement. Maybe we can do a 15 minute sprint together online. Each of us will take 15 minutes and then report back how much got done. What do you think? I HAVE to clean up the downstairs tomorrow and I could use some encouragement.

Bwaha, about G's hair and your legs! Another haha at Eye of the Tiger, LOL! That was my fave song as a little 80s child, so funny. Nasty that, ha, true, nasty dat! I've never ever had even close to that many emails. How's it possible I'm asking myself.
