10:10 am 1/1/10

I am so surprised that we managed to stay up until 1:30am to watch New Years come limping into view.  In fact the only reason we celebrated at all was because one of our guests got a text from a friend saying, “Happy New Year”….our clocks were slow by about 5 minutes.  So we hurried [...]

Final performance

The other night at dinner I was reminded of a conversation that I had with my niece during our family reunion last summer. She reminded me of a comment I had made that went something like: ”Wouldn’t it be fun to onetime spend Christmas together as a family?”   Because all of my siblings, including her father are scattered far and wide [...]

EYE couldn’t be happier

 
I have to say,that I am VERY happy with the results of my recent cataract surgery.  Oh my Gawd!  I can’t believe how awesome it is to see actual detail without having to squint and peer through soup.  I’ve been back to two different eye doctors already and they are especially pleased with my progress.  [...]

The eyes have it! Part Three

To catch up, you might want to read Part One and Part Two.

Well here I am, ready to go under the knife, as it were.  Notice the obvious disregard for ‘no photos’?  We are such rebels.  When we arrived at the appointed check in time, Sweet Husband was well prepared for the duration.  We were to be at the facility for 2-3 hours, yet [...]

Collection agency, I’m not!

 
A long time ago when I thought I had a lot of space, free time and extra money, I collected copper.  Not the wire from electrical motors that my dad used to take apart, but cookware, plates, knick-knacks, you know, dust collectors.  I was introduced to this accumulation by a friend when she gave me duplicate pieces from [...]

The eyes have it! Part TWO

Just to catch you up, you might want to read part one. 
About two years ago I was being fitted for new contacts and the fit was never correct on my left eye. Try this new lense, how about this new lense? Does this new lense work? None of these corrections seemed to help.  On top of that the woman in [...]

Insurance whoas

 
I’m guessing,  like most people with health insurance, there comes the ability to track all sorts of goodies via their insurance intertubes.  I was given a log in and password and viola’ I am treated to all things health related. In my opinion this particular site  has a little to  much stuff to weed through actually. The useful stuff like tracking [...]

Seasonal sounds

For the most part it’s  fairly quiet where we live.  That is unless you ask someone who lives in the country who then comes to stay at our house, and they are awakened by the passing cars at night.  I would have to then say, it’s all relative.   The other day however, there was a [...]

kick ass logo

As I’ve discussed I drive quite alot.  In my drive time I see alot of different things.  There is a building south of Seattle that I’ve driven by a few times and I had to stop and take a photo.  Their logo is painted on the east side of their outside wall, it must be [...]

Chrysler eh?

I’ve driven and owned a few cars in my time.  I’ve had a couple convertibles and they have always been fun, unless you count the 64 Thunderbird that burnt down the house.  Hey that’s  a story I should probably  tell someday.  I digress.  Sweet Husband and I currently co-own with the bank, a 2004 Chrysler [...]
