I may just type the whole thing out later. :yes I've got it mostly prioritized in my head....but I tend to go for the quickest and easiest jobs first, so sometimes the highest priority jobs end up falling by the wayside. :doh :shifty

I just dusted the piano, the sofa, and the big lamp, reorganized and dusted a bookshelf, dusted the chair rail, and put some things in the wash.
