Get 'er Done, Cheer me on!

So we all have them; things we see everyday that we "plan to" change. I could make a list of a hundred things. I was sitting on the toilet thinking about this during my kids nap- not actually using the toilet, just sitting there. It seems as a perfectionist mom that the bathroom is the easiest room to have "perfect" as it is the smallest. So I'm sitting there and lo and behold- the nasty old overpainted dingy toilet paper holder is staring me down. I knew what I had to do- what I had many times told myself I would since the day we moved into this apartment 7 years ago... I was going to scrap and shiny that puppy up. With the use of a 99 cent store pair of tweezers for scraping and some goo gone and windex I went from this:

to this: AFTER
Thank you thank you.  Well it still wasn't perfect but it was much better.  Despite my perfectionism I have come to realize that the end result just has to be better than it was before... and this is... MUCH.  But why stop there.  While in the bathroom I recalled the nasty doornob.  Don't get me wrong I clean doorknobs often- sanitize that is, but scrub?  That was just one more thing on my list of  "I will get there".  Well today was the day.

Thank you thank you again!!!  Yes you can cheer for me all you want but nothing will compare to this little cheerleader I got to sit and play with when I was done.  Her cheers for my accomplishments (though unknown) were much appreciated!!
