Spring Cleaning List

Alright. I have never been one for lists, but lately they have given me the motivation to get things done. For example.. right now I have a list of work for school. on a post-it. on my lap-top. where I will see it. It is one of the best feelings in the world to just cross something out ( well, not the BEST ;) ). So in order to get this house clean, and I mean sparkling, here be the Spring Cleaning List:
