First of all, you are crazy ambitious and if you get all of this done, I will drive on up there and bow to your feet!
ReplyDeleteYou really clean the kitchen ceiling? I would never ever think to do that!
Jenny: Get your bags packed. It is happening! and yes the ceiling can get kind of greasy from cooking so it is nice just to wipe it off every once in a while. In college I used to clean apartments after people moved out and may I say.... the kitchen ceiling can get pretty gross! Who knew!?
ReplyDeleteDamn, lady. I might get five things done off that list. But, go you!
ReplyDeletegreat organizing ideas, thank you!
