We now officially have 5 days to do the "little stuff". I just spent $426.98 at Home Depot buying faucets, towel bars, toilet bowl wax rings, tub / shower kits and putty for the walls and flooring. It's easy stuff, but tedious work which will take a couple days. Not to mention, we still need to get rid of all the garbage and vacuum the new carpet.
I still need to pay for the millwork and flooring... however, all the labor has been paid for (just not the materials).
Although we currently have over $7,000 left in our budget, $3K+ of that will go towards another monthly payment, $4K+ of that will go towards flooring, and I think about $2500 will go towards the millwork, putting us a couple grand over budget.

Business versus Pleasure
I remember talking to a friend one time, and she said to me, "Jin, if I had your mind, I would constantly have a headache. Seems like you're always thinking of something to do or something to create." It came off as kind of an insult, but hey, I'd rather be thinking than letting my brain rot.
So here are two ideas that show how "focused" my mind is at any given moment (okay, so my mind's all over the place).
McDonalds Saving the Environment?
IF I had any say in how McDonalds operated, I would open up Biodiesel Gas Stations with the McDonalds brand name. I could see it now "McD's BioD". Why? Because they're probably throwing away TONS and TONS of used vegetable oil daily, when they could convert that into biodiesel gasoline that anybody with a diesel engine could use. They could even open up a gas station in the corner of some of their restaurant locations. I think it could be huge, and would help McDonalds change their image a little bit (although I admit, they've cleaned up their image quite a bit, especially since their ArchDeluxe / McRib days).
My 15 Minutes of Fame?
IF I'm ever on American Idol, I would sing this song to show off my vocal range (and I don't think anyone has yet to sing it on that show)
... mainly because I know I can't sing, so I might as well make a fool of myself, right? Of course it wouldn't help Seattle's reputation as the city with the worst singers in the country.
