Continuous Improvement Program

Our nursery furniture is coming tomorrow (or so we've been told).  Somehow, we managed to get the nursery cleared out and cleaned up.  Over the last three years or so, we've been using the nursery as a storage room for the things that Lucy had grown out of (clothes, toys, books, etc...).  It was quite a stroll down memory lane to find all of the items we've been storing up for BSP.  We found the Ty Godzilla doll we bought during our layover in Tokyo, commemorating our successful flight over Monster Island en route to China.  We found toys that Lucy played with and clothes she wore in her first year with us. Lots of treasures for BSP and some items that we're going to donate to BSP's orphanage.

In other cleaning news, 99% of all of our decorations from Christmas have been put away.  I reserve the remaining 1% to account for the random plug-in Santa air fresheners and mystery ornaments that we find buried in spots throughout the house.  Every time I declare victory over the Christmas decorations, there seems to be some lone insurgent item that decides to pop up.  It would be more fun if it were more of an arcade game.

We have a good friend of the family who will be house-sitting/pet-setting for us while we're in China, so we're needing to get the house suitable for someone to stay over (i.e., less like a sty and more like a home).  It looks like this time around, we won't be able to just move junk from one room to another; we're actually going to have to clean up.  Yikes.

In other news, I think it's about time to have "the talk" with Lucy.
