Jumped in and got started with a bang yesterday! Despite being outside feeling like inhabiting a wet sponge - YUCK!
I'll buy stocking stuffer(s) and items from Master Grocery List on Wed night when I go to the stores. Will have to figure out when to go buy the new white LED lights for fall decor - might be Wed night as well.
Planning to try and continue work on windows during the other evenings. Even if I do one window a night that will be something! Anything I can do to get a jump on Living Room week will be helpful - especially since the room will be in some disorder due to DH starting project to put in our fireplace - so excited!!!!!
