I feel you on the dreaded things! I have made a ton of progress on my list overall, but ahem, the 2 things I least want to do have no progress. I do plan to start tackling the cake pans today. Once I get started, I know they won’t be that bad, but give me 50 books over 10 weird things any day of the week. (Quite literally, bc I have been cataloging 50 books a day as a way to procrastinate on the cake pans)

Cheering you on!  I plan to tackle the horrible, unorganized cupboard this weekend.  Once I start it, it probably won't take more than 45 minutes.  Put my podcast in and go to work....

@Verdure Great job to you!  Lots of miles logged in Nov.  I liked having an accountability partner - I only did a couple things bc I knew I'd have to report on them.  I will look for the Dec. list now..
