Where to start. It's Wednesday already. I had a great weekend. First off, I finally got my eyes checked on Saturday. Apparently it had been FIVE years! I had been wearing the same glasses for that long... So I got a new pair that is totally different. They're plastic with dark frames and oval shaped. I like how they match my hair and set off my long face... It's hard to describe. I'll have to take a pic someday. I also got new contacts, a different brand than I had been using before. They're very comfortable...they're supposed to be made of a new material (silicone, I think?) that "breathes" better than ever. Yay. I think I'm good for another five years. Hopefully by then I'll be able to afford laser surgery. I don't want to do it just yet, however, because I want to see the last effects on the people who have had it done recently. The laser technique is still fairly new in that there aren't too many reports on the long term effects it has on people's eyes. I'm definately going to do my homework before I have it done because I obviously only have ONE pair of eyes. Hehe...
When I got home from my eye appointment, I was delighted to see that I had received another My Little Pony a la ebay...
This is Medley. Isn't she darling? I've been looking little by little and ordering them one at a time. Next, I hope to get Buttons... I lost the last time I bid on her. I think I'm going to get more than one at a time. Every time I look, I am astounded at the number of old ponies out there. It's so much fun to collect something dear from my childhood.
After I set up the herd to greet their new member, we were off to Marguerite's parents to pick up the rug and stereo stand. The rug looks gorgeous in my livingroom. It's got a sort of Persian print with flowers and designs all over and it's the perfect combination of colors; off white, pink, olive green and black. We moved things around a bit to accommodate the new things, and put the bird cages in front of the windows. So my livingroom looks a little different again. The bird cages weren't working too well in the spot I had them in, I decided. The stupid sticks on the playstand almost took an eye out of both of us on separate occasions. Now the playstand is on top of the fish tank. All the bird crap is now in a corner of the room. And I love that Ron was able to get all his DVDs off of the floor (I keep tripping on the damn things) and into the stand.
Saturday night we went out to the local BJ's Brewery. BJ's....hehehehehehehe.... *ahem* It was a great evening. We started out with apple martinis (OH YUMMY YUM YUM) and the artichoke dip (HOLY SHIT YUMMY YUM YUM YUUMMMM) and WHAT a start... Oh man, we scarfed down the dip like wolves. Then we had the New York steak and cheddar mashed pototoes with a caesar salad. With that we had to try a Belgian brew recommened to us by the visiting brewer. I have to say that the sample tasted better than the full glass. It lost it's touch after about the third sip. Too heavy and bitter. But it worked up a nice buzz. Then we rented some movies and went home to spend the evening digesting. Ahhhh...
Sunday was cleaning some, then we headed out to Ron's storage locker to pick him up some more of his clothes and some of his snowboarding gear. We're going to the local mountains pretty soon...Ron's got a board for me. I'm scared. I suck at going down hills, I always panic when I start gathering speed! That fear stems from the time I was about five years old and learning to ride a two wheeler bike for the first time. I was with Melanie and we were trading off with bikes, one had hand brakes and the other had foot brakes. Guess who got a little mixed up as she was flying down a hill toward a school yard? I still remember hearing Melanie as she desperately yelled, "Push BACK on the pedals!!! PUSH BAAaaack!!!" All I did was panic panic panic panic panic *PING*! I hit a fucking POLE in the school yard. Instant egghead. That day I got a beautiful purple egg on my forehead AND a new phobia! So anyway, I think it'll be good for me to start out slowly on the snowboarding. I need to feel the supposed "fun" rush of gliding down a hill in a CONTROLLED manner.
The week has been going pretty well. I've gone jogging both Monday and yesterday. I'm going to take today off and then go tomorrow and Friday. I figure if I try to make it a point to go every day in a row, instead of every other day, I'll go more often than not. Tonight is the dreaded grocery shopping errand. Yuck. I wish Ron didn't have such a shitty schedule so that he could go with me sometimes. Ugh... Oh yea, and Monday night I drew in my sketchbook some. I wasn't really in the mood though, and I found myself doodling pointless shapes and shit after a while. I need a project. Speaking of projects, I have a million to get to here at work. It's been a very busy week. I'm tired today for some reason. I was all chipper yesterday and I got to bed at a decent time so I don't know what's up with this slug feeling. I guess I'll just slide through the day. Later...
