Twelve Days of Christmas

Okay, so I know the official 'twelve days of Christmas' are the days between Christmas and the feast of the Ephiphany (which happens to be a huge Ethiopian holiday, by the way).  But my husband is giving me the best Christmas gift EVER this year, sort of along those lines…

He told me to make a list of the twelve things that irritate me most around our house, and he would fix them.  Which is AWESOME, because I try very hard not to make the 'honey do' lists, despite my propensity for list-making, I figure he can prioritize his own time.  Which doesn't always work out great for my priorities, you know?

So my list has twelve little things that need to be taken care of…  Money's a bit tight (whose isn't?) so we were going low-budget anyway, but there are just inexpensive-to-fix things that sincerely make me crazy every time I see them.  Like the three foot cubed broken computer server hanging out in my parking spot in the garage (thanks for giving that to Charles, dad!).  Or the bathroom faucet dripping.  But I've made my list, and my husband has it in hand… I'll let you know how it goes, but I am pretty excited about this gift!
