House Chores

Last week we finished up the last items around the house to be ready for the multiple night visit of Bryan’s parents.  This was not a particularly easy task as we have still been way busy with social activities throughout the week.  But let’s take a look of the progress that we made…

Still on the To-Do List:

• Sand and paint Bryan’s tables (yeah this was not high priority)
• Clean the surface of my dining table
• Unpack all decorations
• Find locations for all decorations
• Take a load to Goodwill
• Pick up my bike from the repair shop (also not high priority but watch them sell it live Steve sold my table and chairs)
• Find a new bed frame for the master
• Figure out the patio table and chairs solution
• Figure out how to get rid of our racoon that visits our front stoop nightly and scares the bejusus out of us (hasn’t been heard in about a week)

And on top of that we:

• Broke down all of the cardboard boxes to have the recycling truck pick up (took about 2 hrs)
• Donated Bryan’s old couch (this was a chore and a half)
• Organized the bookcase in the living room
• Made my second dinner (the chicken and mushroom dijon, mashed potatoes and asparagus from my French cooking class)
• Baked banana bread for Bryan’s parents (and us)
• Did a whole bunch of laundry
• Set up the new bedframe with Bryan (finished that after midnight)
• Set up the bathrooms
• Vacuumed
• Sweeped and swiffered
• Killed an army of ants in the kitchen (eww)
• Watered multiple times
• Hung up two picture frames
• Got a lot more hand towels and washclothes
