We need a new roof. Every time it storms the wind blows shingles off. I've got a few estimates and the insurance company agreed we needed a new roof... so they're paying for it.

Hopefully the work starts this week and it can stop raining in my house.

Our dog Java gave birth to 10 puppies. One died at birth. So for a while we had nine adorable balls of fluff running around. As soon as they were old enough I started giving away puppies. We only have one left, and he belongs to my sister and brother-in-law. He's a cutie pie, but I don't want anymore dogs.

My Fall Fix Up List (AKA the list of stuff that probably won't get done)

My house is a mess. Not a messy mess, but a need-to-fix-some-stuff mess.
There are so many projects that are swirling around in my head, I feel like I'm going...um....bananas most days. I'm just so bogged down in the day-to-day stuff I just feel like I'll never get ahead. So I plan on making a conscious effort to beat down my to-do list.

Kathy's To-Do List
Paint bathroom
Install new tile floors in bathroom
Re-paint walls in stairwell
Replace front screen door
Get new hot water tank installed
Replace living room carpet
Paint kitchen

I'm getting tired just looking at the list.
