Spring Cleaning: Everything

Nothing like spending almost a full week stuck inside your apartment, fueled by large quantities of sudafed, to kick off a mean bout of spring cleaning. This year's is especially diligent seeing as how Rob and I both spent the last three months working like crazy at our startup jobs and paying no attention to ourselves. Here's my to-do list:

Clothes:

• Put away tweeds, winter coats, heavy sweaters and other clothes from my lovely winter wardrobe.
• Pack up big bags of anything I haven't worn in years to be donated.
• Unpack my sparse summer wardrobe and vow to buy more summer clothes.
• Review the status of dry cleaning, ironing, shoe repair, missing buttons, lingerie and other essential supplies.
• Clean out purse.

Self:

• Switch from winter perfume to summer perfume.
• Re-stock make-up and nail polish supplies.
• Update Facebook and LinkedIn profiles.

House:

• Call repairman for broken oven thermostat and overheating clothes dryer.
• Re-caulk the bathtub, again.
• Freshen up sheets and linens.
• Polish silver.
• Write any forgotten thank you notes.
• Check on investments and savings plans.

Garden:

• Plant pansies.
• Start watering garden daily again.

Car:

• Tires and oil.
• Car wash.
• Remove chains and winter supplies from trunk.

Office:

• Clean out desk drawers.
• Toss dead pens.
• Deep clean laptop.
• Update framed photos.
• Add new candle and fresh flowers.

Amazingly, about half of this list is already done! Much more progress than I thought when I started writing it out. What is your favorite spring cleaning ritual?
