To my full plate, with love...

I may have unwittingly lead you guys to believe I am already on my comfy, 13 hour (please stop the ride!), air cruise overseas...nope...not yet!  There are a few things I intend on getting behind me before Teresa and I get Shanghaied on the slow flight to China.

I need to install a dishwasher ( I ran all the water and drain lines under the house today. I am not fond of the dirt part of my basement, by the way); put in a base cabinet; move the bathroom door to a different wall (take out part of a wall in the bathroom to frame the doorway...then hang the door); Frame in the wall where the other door was....drywall it, mud it, sand it, prime it...  I do have to go back to Lowe's and get a different door...I wasn't paying attention and I got a right hand door. Of course, I need a left hand door. Total waste of my back carrying it into the house... 

Bill (the sweetest) will fix all the electrical connections so the dishwasher will actually work. Then he also has to move some wiring out of the wall where I want the door.Then the refrigerator will go on the wall where the old door used to be.  The house has more doors in it than I have ever seen! There are 4 doors leading in and out of the kitchen! That is why I am moving the bathroom door...wall space!

Next on the list is finishing the privacy fence. It is up but it needs a few more screws in it so it will stay that way. Also the gate hinges I used weren't as strong as I had hoped...now the gate is just an oversized opening. New hinges on Saturday if it doesn't rain on me.

Then the Fantasy Football Draft! I have no idea what I am doing. Bill and I have been reading stats and blogs and whatever any self proclaimed expert would put out there. We will dominate. No question.

I feel like I am forgetting something I am supposed to do...if anyone knows, remind me.

Then off to China!!!! We leave on the 3rd of Sept. out of Roanoke. We are fortunate to leave from our own town. There is a drastic 6 hour layover in Detroit. Last chance for a walk for a while so we might as well enjoy it.  Chelsea (Teresa's daughter that we are visiting in China) has a big itenerary set up for us. I can't wait!
