If I had a statistical package I could really go nuts playing with all these numbers!

I just got done mopping the kitchen, bathroom and entryway. That's what I'm scheduled to do "extra" every Monday...called a daily house blessing, you know?

Also, I start a new zone this week...here's what Flylady suggests I get done by the end of this week...

Entrance Detailed Cleaning List:
Start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor.

Clean cobwebs
Dust window sills and front door
Clean switch plate of hand prints and walls if needed
Put plants in to the shower and give them a good rinse. Let them set there until you are finished.
Dust furniture (don't have any here)
Dust baseboards
Straighten the coat closet (did that already)
Sweep vacuum or mop the floor (done)
Put back the plants. You would hate for DH to walk into a jungle tomorrow morning. LOL
Add your own personal touches to make it more welcoming.

Dining Room Detailed Cleaning List

Start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor.

Clean the cobwebs
Dust window sills
Clean the window

Clean and straighten any drawer (Yikes, this is gonna be a booger! I only have one drawer, but yowzer! It's full o' junk!)
Clean off top of Dining table and Polish (done)
Rinse plants in the shower (No plants)
Dust the bottoms of the chairs.
Dust the baseboards
Move furniture and vacuum underneath(except the china cabinet) I turned mine over one time. It was not funny.
Add your own personal touches to the table(table cloth, pretty bowl, flowers) (No thankee...not my style)

Front Porch Detailed cleaning.

Sweep down cobweb and spider webs (In the summer, I leave them. I feed the spiders too LOL.)
Sweep off porch furniture.
Sweep the porch.
Throw away any dead plants.
Prune back unruly bushes from the entrance.
Repot planters if necessary (in summer)
Refill bird feeders.
Wipe off tables, banisters, and light fixtures.
Get rid of unwanted items.
Add your own personal touches to welcome friends and family (wreath, welcome mat, bell)

It's a lot...but I have all week.

Haaa!
That'd be interesting.
Neat bar graph deal showing the flood of 'lunchtime' posts.
That'd take some doing though.

I was your fourth most quiet week!

Uhm, I mean... you had only three other weeks with fewer posts. So it was pretty quiet for you!

I'd have to build an actual database of the posts to do it easily... but then, building the database is not exactly "easy", so....

Don't go!

I've had a busy day! Worked lights into my swag garland, made Big'ol get out in the cold, cold wind and hang half of the icicle lights. I hung curtains (I'm dangerous with power tools), did more laundry, did some cooking for the week.

*whew!*

I ain't goin'. The moment has passed anyhow. I got enough irritants in my life right now.

Kudos for all the work you're gettin' done.
