"DID I DO THAT ?"

Here we are on another Sunday and I'm glad that I have an up and running computer.
 Last Sunday I was doing some work on my computer and one of the things I was
 doing was uninstalling a couple of programs. I was using a program that checks
 to see if that program left anything on your computer after uninstalling and if
 so it asks if you want to delete those files. I've been using it for about two
 years with no problem but not this time. I ended up deleting files needed
 to "boot" your computer up! I couldn't get on because it said it needed
 these files! I had to grab my recovery CD's and restart my computer
 from day one. I lost a good bit of stuff but had a good bit
 saved as well so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

TEA CART IS A HIT

The tea cart that I told you about last time is working out great. I have a shelve
 on the back, a 16"x20" glass palette, and a used brush holder. It gives my
 studio some charm and the main thing, working on a painting from it is very
 easy, it just feels right. I plan on taking a photo of it and talking some
 more about it in my blog this week so stay tuned!

ARTISTIC QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"...the object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to
 create a reality of the same intensity."

WHAT I'M WORKING ON NOW

I've had to spend a good bit of time "loading" my computer back up but I'm still
 making progress on "Bellevue Ave." the painting I mentioned last time. I
 wanted as you know to have it done by this newsletter but I had to
 direct a good bit of time to getting everything going on the computer
 to run my business. I should have it for you next time as I have
 everything blocked in nice so it's just a matter of all the details.

WRAPPING IT UP

Thats it for now, I hope you enjoyed it. Things do happan for a reason
 and I'm glad to say that my computer is running faster than ever as I only installed
 what I really use. I think if I decide to uninstall one of these programs I'll just use
 the "remove program" command that comes with your computer (LOL)!
 Take care and I'll see you again on October the 12th!
