Dishwasher

For the first time in my life I have a dishwasher.  And it's AH-MAY-ZING!  Amazing.  Installing a new dishwasher also means removing two kitchen cabinets (okay 1 1/2), which means rearranging most of the kitchen.  Not fun. Half of the contents of my kitchen are still sitting on my dining room table waiting for me to decide where it's new home will be. 

K2 was really into helping

Which brings me to my Christmas tree.  Since Mr. Bin has been busy working on the dishwasher in his spare time the Christmas tree was still up.  All the decorations had been put away, we just needed to take the darn tree down.

All of a sudden there's a knock at the door.  I go to see who it is.  Never mind that I'm in my pajama's and braless at 3:00 pm.  It's an older lady from church who invites herself in. 

Uh, can I help you.   

She just stands there and takes in all the chaos around her.  Kitchen contents spilling off the dining room table, Christmas tree still up, me in pajamas and unshowered at 3:00 pm. Finally she asks me if we'd like to participate in the Tour of Homes.  It took everything I had not to laugh in her face.  I politely let her know that in a few (ten) years when we have completed a few more projects we would gladly participate.
