Books 2011 - 6

Buried by Breakfast - Claudia Bishop -
Carol for a Corpse - Claudia Bishop -
A Dinner to Die For - Claudia Bishop - all three from the Hemlock Falls series. I've decided not to keep them, and I also want to make 180 books this year, and I knew they'd be quick reads.

The Kepi - Colette - a short book. I don't particularly like it.

Night's Rose - Annaliese Evans - romance with monsters, set in the 1750s or so. Not bad.

The Heiress Companion - Madeleine Robins - quite a good Regency romance.


Year's total: 168

End of vacation

Well, I lost steam around Wednesday. Still managed to get some stuff done. Most of the mess that was dumped on the floor and the bed has been put away, with the craft stuff in a pile against one of the bookcases.

I have a lot left to do:
-put the craft stuff away
-purge the papers in the filing cabinet
-purge the boxes of paper on the bottom shelf of the enclosed bookcase
-purge the papers in the potter holes
-organize the papers that are left
-purge the books, including the books in the potter holes
-it would be good if all the books could be out on the shelves, except maybe the textbooks
-purge the clothing (noticing a theme here?) in the closet
-purge the clothing in hun's closet
-purge the clothing in the downstairs closet
-it would be good if all the clothes fit into my closet
-purge the office supplies
-move the non-rolling plastic cabinet into the closet to hold underwear and socks
-get rid of the yarn and other craft supplies I no longer want or need, which are taking up valuable mental and physical space
-measure out the furniture and the room
-figure out what goes in the pigeon hole cabinet
-move the bookcases from the center of the room to each side of the windows
-decide which desk goes on long term loan to my friend (yay friend!)
-move the dresser back by the door?
-change where the bed goes?
-sort out where the cat's box goes
-strip the bed and wash everything
-figure out what to do with all the music
-hang various things up on the walls, in the bedroom and in the rest of the house
-vacuum the floor of the bedroom
-figure out if/what new rugs to get
-figure out what should be in the dresser instead of yarn
-figure out where the yarn should go
-read down the pile of books that I have not yet read, before buying too many more
-work down the pile of fiber projects that I have planned
-finish the fiber projects I have already started
-get the commonplace book up to date
-try out new recipes and bring the recipe book up to date with the good ones

I'm sure I'm missing something. Somehow, I'm thinking this is probably the work of at least the next year....
