MKP1 Conference Atlanta 2009

It's always nice to have visitors. You get to see parts of the city you rarely visit.
Great discussions and ideas for future endeavors flowed freely.

A good time was had by all.

UPDATE Painting

Sometimes, no matter how much you plan, you come up short. 1 gallon just didn't make it- damn it!

Thankfully, there are now 8 oz tintable tubs of paint available and I was able to finish.

Such is the challenge of life. It doesn't always turn out as planned yet things seem to work their way out.

Painting- Did I bit off more than I could chew?

You always have to wonder when you start a project "am I ready for this?" In preparation for the MKP1 Atlanta Conference the second weekend in May, I decided it was time to paint. Well, I'm into it knee deep. Fill, sand, prime. Fill, sand, prime. I'm finally laying on some paint and it looks great. The only problem is that now everything else looks... blah. It looks as though I'll be scrambling to make the deadline to freshen the place up. But what the heck, it needed it.

The best thing about flat screen TV's is...

people get rid of their old ones! A co-worker gave me his 5 year old 25" Sony with stereo to boot!
I feel very 90's today. This replaces a 19" that I've had for 15 years. So, maybe in another 15 I'll step up to a plasma! LOL!

Sometime you dodge the bullet...

A big storm blew through this morning while I was at work. The blue truck was parked where I usually am. My other neighbor wasn't so lucky.

Spring in the air

With the spring comes the pollen showers. Yes, pollen showers. At times it can be thick enough to see clouds of it waifing through the air. Nothing can escape the invasion. One would think that after 20 years in Atlanta, I would be accustomed to this annual event- but I'm not. This year is somewhat more difficult. Since my turbinate reduction in December, I've become much more sensitive to allergic triggers which has become a bit challenging. However, with the help of Sudafed and Lidex I'm able to endure the season with relative comfort.

Life- what an ever changing adventure!

SNOW !!!

It's so rare that we get snow in Atlanta that I had to share some pics. I unknowingly did the typical Atlanta snow prep without even realizing it - Head to Kroger and stock up of course!

I normally hit the store early on Sundays - stocked shelves and no customers. It was raining when I left home with my umbrella in hand. This morning it was unusually busy with the bread and milk displays wiped clean. It didn't dawn on me until I was at the check out and saw all these people with carts loaded down that I realized my faux pas. So I looked the crazy and burst out laughing at what I had done. It began snowing as I pulled into the drive and has continued for the last couple of hours.



What will tomorrow bring?
