Was blind but now I see, kinda…

So, I got my glasses. I have to say while I feel like I have taken a drive down the canyon, rode a roller coaster and then went on a high speed merry go round, I think I may be pulling off the whole “Hot Librarian” look. I have to be sure not to look side to side to fast or I just about fall over. We were at my brother’s house yesterday and I went outside on their deck. I didn’t see the step and just about face planted it in a pile of snow. Plus, their table was totally lopsided and I couldn’t figure out how the food wasn’t slipping off it.

Oh how I wish I could partake in the miracle of Lasik! I had a Doctor tell me years ago that I wouldn’t be a good candidate for it because I had really big pupils. I slapped him and told him to look up at my eyes. Then I realized he was talking about my eyes. Boy, that was awkward.

I had a Shakespeare teacher a while back that came in beaming one day because she could see again thanks to Lasik. That’s when she pulled out the video to show us the procedure. Being one with the strong constitution, I ended up laying in the corner of the room, pale-faced and nauseous, as everyone watched her eyes be sliced open while she was awake! Awake, people! She was Awake!

What people will do to get some Valium is beyond me!

Course, I pop out babies just to get me some Loratab. To each her own, I guess.

I think I would be a little more willing to have it done now, if my pupils aren’t an issue anymore, but my husband is twice as blind as I am so I’m thinking he should get it first, if we ever have a few grand lying around that is. Which isn’t all that likely soon.

Oh wait, I’m trying to be more positive.

We’re totally gonna be millionaires by 2011!

I’m also positive that there is no active potty training going on any longer around here. When she started going in the potty I thought, crap, she’s too young! Every time I hear of a kid being potty trained before 3, they seem to regress and have more accidents. But I thought since she was the one who started it I could have it done in a week.

As you have noticed, that has not been the case.

After the last (multi-colored??? What the what??) log left on the floor, I had had enough and the diaper went back on.

I don’t feel bad at all.

Because glasses, contacts or Lasik aside, the last thing I need to see is a pile of crap on my floor.

How I wish I could have lasik! I know it' a totally gross procedure, but it would be so worth it!

I. hate. potty training.

My oldest two were over 3 before I started with them and I plan to do the same thing with the baby. It's just not worth all the aggravation.

Hear you on the potty training. My 5 year old just FINALLY got it! She still wear a pull up at night. She has autism, so we had to get past sensory issues that were hard to get past. Now my younger daughter is almost 3, and she loves sitting on the potty and wearing big girl undies and washing her hands, and flushing. She just never actually goes IN the potty. On the floor next to the potty? sure! behind the couch? Why not. The backyard? Absolutely. The toilet? No way!

Yes one of my husbands coworkers got Lasik and he was telling me about the procedure.. it didn't bother me at all until I found he he was awake when it happened!!! oh gag me!! Horrible yuck could never do it.

I personally can't stand glasses, I wear contacts, I hate that if you look to the side things are blurry. But I guess if I wore glasses all of the time I would get used to it.

I think I need to see a picture of these glasses. The world deserves to see the a picture of the "Hot Librarian"...pretty please??

I'm not a good candidate for Lasik either... I have a stigmatism (or is it an "astigmatism"?) in both of my eyes. They're funky shaped, and I'm lucky I can even wear contacts.

Sigh. Maybe I can just get a total eye transplant?

Oh yes! I wanna see a picture! I HATED glasses on me, and so I did have the dreaded lasik-gross, hurt like a mutha when it was happening-but now? I feel like I've been touched by Jesus.

I.hate.potty.training. It is horrific! Yeah, put the diaper back on-I'd rather change a poopy diaper than clean poop off the carpet.

yeah lasik... very scurry... poop on floor... even worse! My son will be Three at the end of the month, I just Eye-roll those mommys who brag about Peter outta Pull-ups!

Adoption of Jane said...

p.s. grabbed your button!

Vegas Emily said...

hahahahahahahahaha! love it! I think 3 is the perfect age to start potty training - Jeremy keeps "encouraging" me to potty train Livvy who is 20 months - that husband of mine lives in fairyland I tell you what.

Amen. On a number of fronts...amen.

I got lasik like a year ago and the nurse came in 15 minutes AFTER the doctor was done and gave me Valium. I remember thinking, "What the.....whatever. Down the hatch."

They wouldn't give me any Loratab. I asked, because as we all know...if it's given to you by a doctor, it's TOTALLY not against the Word of Wisdom. Doctors orders.

If you get the chance to get Lasik don't let the awake thing bother you. I had it done when I was 17, and while it was surreal when they took off your cornea (kinda like openeing your eyes under water), my eyes were better the second the procedure was over, and more than 20/20 after 2 weeks.

I thought you're glasses were so glam on Saturday. And I love your hair, or should I say "covet"? I was just too shy to compliment you. Hey, maybe you got yourself a crayola-eater, what with the colors and all...just sayin'.

You do look like a hot librarian in your glasses. Everyone says so.
