OK, Here goes this will be the list I will work off of. Please help me add to it because it is by no means complete. They are in the order I blog about them, not by importance. What I choose to write about just depends upon how I’m feeling that day or what experiences I have had that week. It just kinda happens, I won’t try and force myself to write about something if i’m not feelin’ it.

If you ever figure out a calendar for all of those home needs (i.e., furnace cleaning), PLEASE let me know!!! The closest I’ve found is on weather.com under home&gardening.
