Keeping Myself on Track
The goal is to be completely ready to move out by tonight. I want to try to get the place as clean as I can today so Monday I can just vacuum and be done. Here is my list. I’ll be crossing off as I go. It’s totally itemized so I can see my progress:
Hair ‘thing’ count: 124 (I can’t believe all the places I’ve found hair rubberbands, barrettes etc so far- this doesn’t count the ‘little’ hair bands that I’ve vacuumed/swept up or thrown away. Also it doesn’t include the girls room which Steve finished up. Most the hair things? In or around my side of the bed. (oops))

I’m pulling a muscle just looking at that list.
If you get to the shower and bra point I’m going to be seriously impressed!
Good luck today!
Bra!? we don’t need no stinkin’ bra!
Wow! You’ve been busy. Good luck with everything. Moving is such a pain.
87!!!!! Oh come on, I can beat that without even moving the beds!
Wow, you are a rock star! I hope for you a lot of down time and staying in one place after all this moving is finally done. You have been quite a trooper.
And all the apartment cleaning you are doing, vacuum windows? Sheesh, I was an apartment manager for a while, we would have loved you! Much less than that still got the deposit back where I worked.
You rock girl. (I know that when I move my bed next I’ll find about that many hairthings around my side of the bed.)
Wow you have been super busy! Great job, and I hope you are moved.
Sorry–I refuse to move. Happy Birthday!
I love the idea of moving and getting a new start somewhere else, but the actual move is such a pain in the rear. I hope you like your new place/ ward!! We miss you down here.
You must be so tired!
You forgot “Get showered with love and affection (and presents) on my birthday” and also “Eat more chocolate.” I can take care of that last one for ya.
Wow! You had a busy day!
Oh yeah, and I constantly find hair thingies all over the house. They are insidious. They get EVERYWHERE!!!
Really! What is with the hair stuff all over the place?!! It drives me crazy. Usually, they’re covered with ample amounts of dog fur and dust bunnies and end up getting thrown away.
