Ah, new beginnings!  With each new year (or each new day, for that matter) comes a bunch of new projects that I have to accomplish in and outside of my home.  There's also new recipies I want to try so that at dinnertime the dog isn't being secretely fed under the table.  Then there are the many unforeseen activities that will be handled as they come.  As I go through the daily dealings of life, I'll share for my own sanity's sake.
