Getting your eyes checked

I have always wanted eyeglasses as a kid, but i never went as far as to lie when reading off the charts. Apparently I have a bit of astigmatism which hasn’t been that bad as my eye sight is still better than 20/20. My right eye is keeping everything in check. Though, since I work at a computer each and every day — I’ll have to get them checked out once again. I can’t recall the last time I went to an eye doctor, and I’d bet it was more than 4 years ago.

I was reading this Zenni Optical article and it’s pretty crazy how expensive a great set of frames will run you. However, it is possible to get quality eyeglasses for a low cost. I mean, that’s what this site is all about, right? Saving people money!

With Zenni there’s no middle man which means that there isn’t any retail overhead. They haven’t been advertising much since they don’t really have a budget for it — I mean they leave it to us, the customers to spread the word. So if you’re on the lookout for a new set of frames, perhaps you will think about Zenni’s glasses when you’re shopping around. Can’t hurt.

That’s all for now folks!

V-day, Houses, Alfie, Rest time.

It’s almost the weekend and I’m so definitely ready for it. Everything was screwed by Tuesday. We ended up going to see Avatar and getting home close to midnight, which meant poor Alfie was in his cage all day long with a few breaks in between when I popped home for lunch, and right before we left for our movie. Being the awesome owners we are, we stayed up with him a bit longer than we normally would.

Which is why I’m SO excited it’s almost sleep-in day. Wake up at 6:30/7:00 on Saturday for an hour with the pup, and then go back to sleep for a few.

Are you excited about Valentines Day? I’m not a fan, usually and I have no reason to be. But this year I’m going to do something special for the boyfriend. It involves a lot of food, since we both love eating, maybe me more so than him. I’m not going to post anything here until the night is over, so I won’t ruin any surprises. But one or two of the menu items are listed on my recipe page. Ooh la la.

Sporadic update. No? I still have to mail out Jordan’s gift to her, since she won that Magnapod contest. No worries, I e-mailed her mentioning this was an unusually busy week for me and I just haven’t even had time to pack it in a box for her. Forgives?

My eyes get really bad when I’m in malls. So much so I think that people may think I want to cry. I blink a lot and I don’t know if they’re dry, or watery. Does your get like that? I hate it. It’s almost like the fans are blowing on my eyes. I don’t really know….

living-areaI know I don’t own my own home yet, but one can still mock up and dream of their potential homes. Scott and I were talking the other night, and there are a few must-haves when we buy a home. Perhaps I need to investigate Lake Murray SC Real Estate? On my list of priorities are a DISHWASHER, because I friggen want to throw a tantrum every time I need to do the dishes. It also must have a fire place, or one of those fake ones that spurts out heat, oh and also — a nice tub in the bathroom. I don’t bathe in the apartment tub we have here because it’s gross and old. I miss baths. Scott wants a two car garage. I think that was basically it. It seems like our home if/when we buy one is going to be a nice one, but nowhere near Lexington SC Real Estate, since we don’t live in the States. I like the layout of the one I have pictured above. But I don’t think it’s my style. It’s what I want to be, but not who I am sort of thing. Do you get what I’m trying to say?

Really now?

safe-slice-l

Who is that scared of cutting their fingers off. Really now. Better be careful you guyyyyys. Do you know that I cannot properly cut carrots sticks, for the life of me? None of them come out all nice and perfect, but I know this little gadget (which is exactly what it is. A freaking gadget.) wouldn’t be able to do it. I know that some inexperienced chefs (the boyfriend perhaps?) would probably be able to put this cutter to use. But not I. What do you think about it all? Is it all a gimmick like some crazy acne serum sold on the street? Who makes that?
