\n<\/strong>Caulk the tub and fixtures
\nTighten the faucet
\nTouch up the scratchmarks on the #$*@*@ IKEA sink.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Exorcise the closet and dressers of lingering ghosts of years past
\nMaybe go to #$*@*@ IKEA to get a little bookcase. <\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>
\nFind a “Storage Solution” for the kids’ crappe<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPurge cables
\nScan kids’ artwork, photos, etc.
\nGet a #$*@*@ IKEA rug to replace my wife’s coffee-stained horror of an office rug.
\nMake the pilfered laptop kid-friendly, i.e., find some free XP software for the kiddies, and (dare I say it) lose the Bondi Blue iMac.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPurge, Purge, Purge. They’ll need to make an after-school special about me to warn kids off…<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>
\nScrub those cabinets and that #$*@*@ floor…maybe look into a new floor…to be done by someone else. <\/p>\n
