Love and love that you're creative with your space and storage. What kind of coffee table it that? I'm looking for something like that.

Second on mei-ling's comment.

I hate mopping floors. It seems like they can't be perfectly done so I'd rather not do them at all. I'm not even a perfectionist, it's just the logic of the thing.

I LOVE shopping at the Farmers' Market; also Whole Foods and natural food markets. I wouldn't have called that a household task, but since others already did...

I can't think of anything else I actually love. It's either hate or don't mind. No likes or loves.

I don't mind doing laundry, since I have a W/D in my condo and it's pretty simple; I do hang a lot of stuff to air dry, but I've got a pretty good system. I don't mind running trash and recycling to the trash room down the hall, resulting in instant gratification. I do love taking my compost to the compost company at the Farmers' Market, although it's a pain to get all my collection in the freezer organized into one bag.

I love how open shelves look, but way too dusty/grimy for me. I live in an urban area and dust and grime get onto everything. I like nice, clean dishes behind a door that I don't have to wash before I use.

milosmom: an apartment can be a rental or owned/condo, just like a house can be a rental or owned.

In this case, Maxwell has specified that it's a rental apartment.

I would never paste stuff onto my beautiful laptop.

Is the brass tray what's hanging on the wall of the dining room? That looks so wonderful. Do you know the source?

Doing everything all out of order and skipping things, I already have the living room done--for now. I had rearranged the living room (at the beginning of the Cure? Just before?) and needed some new things. Went to IKEA and got them--2X4 Expedit shelves and a couple of tables, all of which I put together early in the Cure. I LOVE the new arrangement. I still have to get better organization in the Expedit, which I'm using the long way, on its side, including buying inserts. I already had a party last weekend, since I already planned to have it, and the new arrangement was smashing.

Other than this, I've kind of done a smorgasbord of the Cure, using what I needed to get ready for my party and also did things as I had time. I've knocked a few things off my list that we created at the beginning of the Cure.

I will do this tonight by reading my current book. Music allowed! It will be hard to completely stay off the internet, especially since I listen to music through my laptop.

Also, I didn't get flowers last weekend--the flower guy was out of them at the Farmers Market! But I have been thinking I need to do something about the collection of pathetic succulents and a cactus in one of my windows. So instead of flowers this week, I am looking into getting a new, bigger, healthy succulent or planter with a variety of succulents/cacti. I should probably add to my list of to do's "look into how to better care for succulents and cacti."
