Checking in on 101

So, it's been a while since I've looked at my list, and while I have other posts half written and unpublished, this is one I don't' have to think too much about. Here's how I'm progressing with my life/list.

1. Start a blog. (Done! Sweet!)
2. paint my bathroom baseboards
3. paint my stair rails
4. replace the toilet seats on the toilets (Our house was on the market through the winter and sat empty. They did something to "winterize" all the sinks, toilets and tubs and whatever they did died all the toilet seats greyish/blackish and they just look dirty all the time.)
5. paint meg's room
6. decorate isaac's room--it's orange because it's not "complete" but it does look more like a child's bedroom and less like an empty room with a crib. It's a work in progress. But at least there's some done.
   
7. make curtains for my kitchen windows
   
8. make curtains for the play room windows
9. read through the entire Book of Mormon with Meg
10. organize lesson plans for 8 months of two times a week school activities

13. build book shelves for my living room
14. build storage bench/window seats for my family room
