Many of you know how much I love and treasure my kitties. Unfortunately, I am in a precarious situation and I need to find homes for a few of them. The economic times have been tough on me and I have to downsize and move, which means that all my babies can't come with me. This is heartbreaking to think about but it is necessary.
So, if you have it in your heart to give a deserving kitty a home I would be furever grateful.
Pouncer, a senior "russian blue" that likes to be the only kitty. She is very sweet and cuddly when she is by herself. She just turned 10, but she is a very young ten.
Eddie, Pouncer's baby girl. She is black and 8 years old. She has medium length fur and is very sweet. She loves to bump her head into things, which is very cute. She likes to run through the house and sometimes you can only guess that it is her. She is so sweet.
Bastian, aka the godfather! He is 6 and is a very hefty boy. He is very lovable and loves to give kisses. He is very much a lover. I am working to get his weight down, but it is a challenge. He is a black and grey tabby. He is finally not eating and eating and eating. He is walking away from the food bowl these days. Yay!
Just email me at meggysue90@hotmail.com if you are interested.

You will be missed Jonas!
I just received word that a foster puppy I had for a few days (I was his temporary foster) passed away from parvo. He was a doll, and so very cute! He was trapped, nearly 5 days after his siblings, and lived alone in an abandoned home. He was very skittish and untrusting, but quickly came out of his shell and was the biggest kisser of the litter. He was only around 9 weeks, and was neutered last Tuesday. He then went to his foster home, where he enjoyed rolling in the leaves and had a good appetite. He took a turn for the worse this past Saturday and was taken to the emergency vet on Sunday. I received word that he passed around 10:30 or 11 this morning.
While I only had him for a few days, he made a big paw-print on my heart.

Dr. Oz’s Cup of Fresh review and Indianapolis Marathon (and half Marathon and 5K - recipe at the bottom too!)
I decided a few months back that I would walk the Indianapolis Half Marathon. Well, a REALLY BAD case of plantar fasciitis ruined that. So, in August, I registered for the 5K. The day that I thought would take forever to get here is this Saturday! I can’t believe it. Two gals from the WW message boards are coming into town and are doing this with me. Well, they are so much more fit and strong that they are going to do the Half Marathon. I am such a proud friend!
I am so sick of foot pain. I can’t say that enough. It is VERY frustrating. I have had plantar fasciitis since August. I have some pain every day, most days pretty bad. I know I could have it much worse. Others are in much worse shape. My sympathies to all who are. I have to own the pain I am feeling. It is not fun and I am very bad, as my therapist keeps telling me. I have physical therapy twice a week now. A couple weeks down and finally I am feeling some relief. There is some, not much, but some. I am on 2 hours of a straight tightened muscle, like a Charlie horse. Ice is going on now. My therapist thinks I may not be able to do the 5K, but I am not losing my money and the chance to do something good for me! I will have ice packs at the ready for afterwards!
I also started a part time job this week at Georgetown Market. I am going to be working in the deli, so I will be on my feet all the time. Luckily, the more I move, the more blood flows to the muscles and tendons, thus reducing the pain. But, as I found in a 3.5 hour shift yesterday, they are going to get sore. But, I am looking at the bright side that this will be good for me, budget-wise and movement wise! No pain, no gain, right?
Come and see me Saturdays and Sundays. I start on my birthday, October 25th. Yes, that was a shameless plug! I have to work 8 hours on my birthday. At least I will be surrounded by lots of people on the big day and I will be making money too!
So, back to this marathon stuff! There is still room, if you would like to join in the fun Saturday. The website is www.indianapolismarathon.com.
I will post more from the Cancer Society booklet this week!
Oh, for all those interested in Dr. Oz’s Cup of Fresh Green Smoothie, it is good! I finally had it yesterday. I do NOT like ginger, so I would leave it out. One warning, you really need a juicer! I think he blended it on the show, but I don’t remember. I don’t see how it would blend easily. It is VERY refreshing.
Meg’s Marinara
8-9 tomatoes, boiled, peeled and chopped
2 T canola or olive oil
2 medium or 1 large yellow onion, chopped
Garlic to taste (I used two frozen cubes from a Trader Joe’s freezer pack – roughly 2 cloves)
1 small can Vegetable broth
Dried basil (I would say I used 1 teaspoon)
Dried Oregano (I would say I used ½ teaspoon)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 T sugar (roughly – start out with less and add more as necessary)
Boil tomatoes in water, remove when the skin cracks. Put in an ice bath to stop cooking and peel once cool. Chop and set aside.
While tomatoes are boiling, you can cut up onion and garlic and start sautéing in the oil. Cook on medium until onions are translucent. Add cut up tomatoes and all the remaining ingredients. Simmer on low-medium heat for 60 minutes. Stir often. Reduce to low and simmer another 30 minutes. I think the slow cooking really helps increase the flavor. It would be fine after 30minutes, I am sure, if you are pressed for time.
Take a potato masher and “mash” the tomatoes. I left some chunk. I just wanted to “puree” it a bit. It will not be a thick sauce before this. I like chunky marinara sauce!
I haven’t figured pts on this, but it is all core, except the sugar, which isn’t enough to make it even a half point per serving. And I haven’t measured it yet to see how much it yielded. I will do that tonight and post tomorrow!

Wine lovers, come on over…
…I have a secret for you. Mallow Run Winery. South on 37 from Indy just south of 144 (technically Bargersville). Closer than Oliver Winery, and I have to admit, better in my opinion.
ARPO (Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership) had its annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Saturday at Mallow Run Winery. This was a lovely event and it was a lovely evening to hold such an event. The Silent Auction had loads of great items and all went for very little, actually. We need more for more competitive bids next year. So, keep checking in late next summer or early fall on the ARPO website, http://www.adoptarpo.org/ for details. The price is right and you get free food, beverages, and wine tasting.
Save some points for this as the wine at Mallow Run is delicious. As a former employee of a liquor and wine distributor, working in the wine division as an assistant, it was great to prove I still remembered some of what I learned those many moons ago. I asked first for a glass of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious!!!!!! I then tasted a few others, and only disliked one. I figured with all the wine, food (mostly fruit and veggies) and the Nutri Grain bar I consumed on the way home, that I only used 15 pts. Not bad! And I truly enjoyed every last sip and morsel of those 15 pts. That was the best part. It has been a long time since I have gone out and truly enjoyed myself. I haggled a couple people that outbid me in the last couple minutes of the silent auction. I had great conversation with some of the volunteers of ARPO that I am just getting to know. I had fun tasting the wine (who wouldn’t?) and talking the finer points of the wine subtleties with some of the spouses. I dressed up and was even shocking to a volunteer when I walked up. That was fun. And I was flirted with when I stopped to get a pop on the way home!
Oh, and Mallow Run will be having its fall festival the weekend of October 11th & 12th! I have been told they are releasing their Shiraz, and that is to die for!
Have you taken the time for you lately and found something to do that truly is something you love? I can’t say I love going to wineries, but it may be on my list of fun things to do. What I learned, is that others see that I have been giving my time to the animals and not myself. And you know what, they are right. I am still going to be giving my time to the animals, one 5 week old rescued kitten at my house and getting a foster dog tomorrow evening, plus the Indy Feral cat outside and the other neighborhood cats I am trying to get into Indy Feral, and my kitties. But what I realized is that I HAVE to make time for myself. I can’t afford to go out and do a whole lot of stuff, as is the case with many of us these days. But, I can go out and do things. Some ideas include, free times at museums, going to parks for a walk with a friend or by myself, $5 Buck Club movies at Kerasotes theaters, sitting in Border’s reading, playing outside with the neighborhood kiddos, picnic with friends, apple picking at an orchard (I highly recommend Tuttle’s). With Autumn here, I believe I may be going to a park, at least once. I have visions of taking pen and paper and working on a novel I started a year or so ago! The key is to get out and enjoy life. What I discovered is that I have to make myself a priority and that is not selfish. My health and my happiness, and dare I say, my commitment to Weight Watchers depends on it.
So, I challenge you to make yourself a priority at least once this week, at least once each week. What will you do?
Maybe you could treat yourself to a hair ball! I know, you always thought I was a crazy cat lady and I just proved it. No, the Spay Neuter Services of Indiana is having its annual Hair Ball to raise funds to help spay and neuter the animals of Indiana. Only $15 will get you in the door, more if you wish to bid on silent auction items. This sounds like a blast. Kids under 16 are free. See below for details. I want to take a neighbor girl that has been helping me identify neighborhood cats to get fixed and who wants to be a vet someday. She has even rescued a kitty this month. But don’t tell her parents, they think I am feeding it and that it just hangs out at her house!
And yes, I am consumed by animal rescue work! But don’t worry, I am taking time for me this week!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're all looking for deals these days and this event is worth every penny of the $15 ticket to get in!
Once inside: you will enjoy FREE food, beer, wine, soft drinks, activities for the children and live music.

What is a Silent Auction anyway?
Never been to one?
They are a blast and you can get some great deals!!! People donated items for us to auction off. There will be a starting bid price listed on the sheet of paper in front of the item. If you like the item, you write down your bidder number and your bid. Then someone else walks along and puts down a higher price...so you circle back and decide if you want to bid more or not. It is low pressure. People just wander the rows of tables. Though it does get exciting right before the bidding closes if 2 people are hoping to get the highest bid in on a special item!
