Thpost from last year....the italicized posts are the items we were able to check off this year!!
2009 is here...it's my last year in my 20s...it's the last year of the decade...hopefully it holds great things for us!
We have a long list of stuff to do to enhance the house or other goals for our life...some are extensive (hmm, basement ceiling and others are quick like caulking the bathroom)...
Just a "short" list:
Living Room:

-Wire living room for final surround sound speakers: done in January during one of the snowy weekends
Main Level:
-Get Secretary desk with central organization area for mail, stamps, etc: um, we finally got on that and to make my life easier, we asked mom and dad this for Christmas and it was finished on Christmas Eve but they're bringing it down tomorrow for New Year's Day since we didn't have enough room
-Paint Power Room: um, not enough time...on the 2010 list
Upstairs:
-Tags for linen closet baskets: thanks for reminding me...printed today ;)
-Reading nook with rocker and table: we brought back the wood rocker we received as a wedding gift and set it up with a nice blanket on the landing
Master Bedroom/Bathroom:
-Apply silicone to bathroom seals: was the first task completed in 2009
-Paint Master Bathroom
-Paint Master Bedroom: done in May when I went home for L's bridal shower so I wouldn't be exposed to the fumes
-Organize jewelry armoire: will complete this this weekend...it's on my list (I swear)

Office:
-Finish the craft room, including desk, craft organization: done earlier this month with the assistance from mom watching B

Basement:
-Sell extra med books on Amazon or to PittMed: or more like donate since they're old
