I am tall enough that I can reach up to them without any step stool so I regularly run a damp paper towel over all eleven of the door casing in my upstairs. <br /><br />An otherwise fine gentleman that I know quite well is also quite tall and he used to amuse himself by dating and initialing the dust atop refrigerators in homes overseen by short women friends.. Sometimes he would have multiple dates before the shorter housewives finally got around to dusting up there. Out of sight, out of mind...unless the dust is exactly at eye level. Short girls beware!

Right now, I am finally (FINALLY) sewing a curtain for the bottom shelf of the baker's rack.<br /><br />Doesn't it feel wonderful to have tackled the painting project, and then look around at how great it looks?

I always want to KICK myself for having done it after it's done, too. I had a little table that I bought nearly two years ago that I have procrastinated painting. It took such a short amount of time, and I love it. Should have done it when I bought it. Ugh.

How do I know this? Simply because I too am a procrastinator. I used to get mad when my husband accused me of it. I thought I just liked to think about things longer.
