I

Well, its been awhile...

Been sometime since I posted. Things are different around here without Sacha but I'm getting used to it- kinda quite though.

I've finally started eating better and it's amazing how much money you save when you don't buy all the junk that you usually do. I'm talking no pasta, white bread, cheese, pizza prepared sauces, soda, sugar, candy, cured meats or cold cuts, and a whole lot of other stuff. My mantra is "if you can't pronounce the ingredients- don't eat it!". Just read the labels on some of the stuff in your cupboard- you'll be shocked! The best part of all of this is the weight loss. I've dropped 12 pounds without even trying. It just shows what all the chemical crap that's in our food can do to us.

On a lighter note, I've finally replaced my comforter set. Sacha always loved sleeping on my bed. I, however, was never allowed to share it with her. I always washed them regularly but never replaced because her claws would catch and snag here and there. So here it is- ooooooooooo aahhhhhhh (I need to replace the art- it's old too)

That's about it from Atlanta. Exciting huh?

Sacha C. Maus 1995-2009

Sacha Maus concluded her role as friend and companion on July 18, 2009.

In the beginning, life was difficult for Sacha. Her original owners didn't realize that the cute, wrinkled puppy would grow as large as she did. She was confined to an 8 X 10 screened porch for 4.5 years which made her shy and distrustful of people.
At the time of her rescue, she was bald, thin and frightened. With good food, lots of love and treats, she became a princess that greeted everyone she met with a sniff and a nudge.
She would stand greet whenever you entered the room even though toward the end her arthritis slowed her standing. But she always made it up to say "Hey- good to see you".

Sacha will be missed.

When you won't admit it...

You improvise ! It seems they make the print so small these days- damn it! I know there will come a time to admit it and get glasses. But not just yet! Such is life...

What do you do when the freezer doesn't freeze?

You could call the repairman and wait or (being me) you take it apart and figure out what's wrong. Thanks to the Internet for it charts and blueprints, I was able to get this mess cleared up. Now I have a new problem- it's too cold. Such is life...

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.
