For second floor outlets go up in the attic, then drill the top plate and
come down inside the wall - much easier than any in-wall horizontal run.
Stay away from the outside walls. Make sure the cables lay underneath the
attic insulation to ease the temperature extremes.

yes, that was the plan. It's just getting it up into the attic that's
going to be a PITA - house has forced air heat which is taking up most
of the available wall space, and I don't have any handy stacked closets
or anything like that (bedroom closets are over the main entry to the
house... d'oh!)

You can run EMT (lightweight metal conduit) inside one of those FHA
ducts and terminate it in a pull box outside the duct on either end and
use that as your cable chase. No need for plenum rated cable if it is
inside metal conduit.
