Where have I been

nǐhǎo!

It has been a long time since I said anything here. Not much continues to be going on. Really, is that a sensible sentence? Our paperwork is turned in and we are just waiting till closer to "the time" for more things to do. In the important paper area. A bunch of things we need to live in China we cannot get until we live in China....What if they say no?

We sold the Civic! Yahoo! Mike offered it at work just casually a month ago and several people looked but nobody bit. He put a little sign on his office door and it sold that day. If anyone is interested in an Altima 6 speed V-6 let us know:)

We are purging, if we don't, we have to pack it and cart it to the attic only to face it all again in three to five years. We have filled the huge trashcan the past three weeks running. That doesn't include all the ones we did over the winter and all the stuff going to find 'new homes'. It is amazing how much stuff we have even though we have moved so much and how much of it we really do not need! So much still to do. For those familiar with my sewing room....haven't even been in there yet and when I don't know where to put something it goes in there...uggh!

On a more fun note I went and bought a new sewing machine!! This one will run on universal power, ie. it is different in China and the old one would need a converter which really isn't good for it. So, a new one. I have not actually used it since I packed it up at the store as I really must do all the other stuff first...play later. Although I did dye fabric last week, that was fun. Olivia got some white pants specifically to dye and I had been waiting for the weather to be warm enough...the dyes work better when it is very warm out. They came out great considering it was guess work to get the color she desired.


Enough babble,
zàijiàn!
