OKay so this room is still a work in progress but it has come sooooooo far!





The stuff on the couch is a cd collection that still needs work!





I put the mirror up on the wall! Im so handy...

Litter Box

My fat cat, "The Sweetpea", is very particular about the litter box. She will not use it if it has a lid on it. I think its because she's big, and feels like she can't move in the litter box. However, I like to have a lid - because it helps keep the litter mess to a minimum. I also must admit that I prefer to empty the box every other day. So last night I decided I just need a bigger box. Thinking that a bigger box = more space for the sweets = more litter = easy every other day cleanup. So I went online looking for a bigger box. Instead, I saw some ideas for homemade boxes. EUREKA! So today I made my first homemade litter box which is essentially a 20 gal plastic container with a hole cut out of the side with box cutters. I'm also planning on switching to a wheat versus a clay litter. Im hoping this will also cut down on the smell and tracking. I'll let ya know how it goes! Check out the pics...



Here is a pic of the old box with the cover next to the new box...

I took my first argentine tango private lesson today with MARY. It was great. Mary is a great teacher and keeps things moving along quite nicely. Of course I struggled with those key technique points which make A Tango different from my strength in rhythm dancing. After a couple years of "settle into your hips" - to cut that out felt almost impossible. I plan on taking some more lessons in this over time but Im sure it will be slow going. I Loved it though!

Declutter!!!

Hello again! I have been MIA lately, but Im getting back online to show of my latest de-cluttering efforts while Evan is deployed. Hopefully, with my new furniture, and my decluttering he will still recognize his house when he comes home! My decluttering was inspired by a fellow blogger, the Organizing Queen, who is hosted an August Decluttering challange! I don't know if Ill be able to do enough to qualify - but Im giving it my best shot!!!! Enjoy!!!
