Old Eyes

Kaitlin and I had eye doctor appointments this afternoon. The Heights nurse called me last week to tell me she flunked the eye exam at school, and I've been needing stronger bifocals (ugh, it's hell to get old!). Kaitlin's prescription didn't change much, certainly not enough to have failed the exam at school. Our doctor told us not to rely on those, as they are never done at the right distance or with the right light. And I got good news - except for that stupid floater I have that will never go away - my eyes have improved, which is why I'm having trouble seeing well. I need "less strong" glasses! YIPPEE! I'm going to wait until January to get new ones, as I can get both frames and lenses if I wait. Our insurance pays for new frames every other year, and new lenses every year.

Kaitlin taped Dancing with the Stars for me Monday night, since I was at Garth; and I watched it yesterday, before the elimination show. I want Marie to win, so I was glad to see her make it another week. I'm not saying some of the others aren't better dancers, but I think Marie has the entertainment value and personality, so I'm still voting for her. Kaitlin was also nice enough to do my voting for me Monday night!

I just finished reading SPLIT SECOND by Alex Kava. Good book! Still haven't picked up the book from hold at the library. I was on the west side of town Sunday, but forgot (again, it's hell to get old!)

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
