Organizing a Doll Collection, Part 2: List of Assignments

Okay, I confess. I slipped today. For about 20 minutes, I sorted dolls, action figures, fashions, and accessories. Me, smiling. Good? No, no, no. I'm supposed to be writing to do lists first. Sigh. 

Me: Look, I'll just clear off the printer, okay?

My conscience: Just the printer.

What happens next? My conscience drifts into a brief nap. It's tiresome being the Enforcer. So much more fun seeing the Stay and the Go piles growing ...

My conscience: Enough! Time to write those to do lists. Let's get the task tally started!

Psst ... before I share the lists, wanna see what I did? Here goes.
