Busy Saturday
Lance and I have been pretty busy all day, as he's had a few things on his to-do list to get finished before he leaves tomorrow.
We went out to wash his truck and fill it up with gas (he's worried about gas being even more expensive by the time he gets back, so he figured he would have a full tank when he gets home so he won't have to worry about it right away). Then we stopped at an auto parts store to get a locking gas cap for his truck...people have been siphoning gas, and he's worried about someone doing it to him if they see his truck parked in the driveway all the time.
We got gas for our gas can too, and Lance got the lawn mower assembled and put the oil and gas in it. He just finished mowing the lawn (I started the mower, and it was really easy to start, so I was happy about that).
Before that, though, he put up the curtain rod over the back door. I had some spare IKEA curtains from our house in Germany and hung them up, but they are almost 2 feet too long for that window. I'm not hemming them. I can't sew worth crap, and I'm even useless at using that iron-on hemming tape (which came with the curtains). So we're just going to get new curtains. I had Lance hang the rod 84 inches from the floor, so that's the size we'll get. There are some at Penney's that I like, and they're half off right now. So since we're driving up to Northgate tonight to eat at Macaroni Grill for dinner (Lance has never eaten there before and has been dying to try it, and wants to drive up there tonight even though it's clear across town), we'll stop in at Penney's and pick up the curtains.
I think he's pretty much done with all the really important stuff that needed doing. Except for packing. He hasn't finished that yet.
