Lori- ouch on the rain- be careful out there. i am a bit jealous that you are home in your sweats, that sounds like heaven!!!

Todd- yeah, how was yesterday, you didn't get blown away?

well lasik appt was a surprise, she said i am borderline and she wouldn't really recommend me spending the money to do it- my vision isn't as bad as i thought i guess- 20/25. so that's good news!

thanks for the thoughts for my mom.

so yesterday it was a bit chilly, like in the upper 50s/60s. Today- 88 and SO humid, foggy and warm. sometimes i really hate TX weather!

 

[exwdwcm]

Good luck with your consultation. I didn't know you could have Lasik twice. I'm too chicken to do it once. I'd love the result, but I watched my brother's surgery and it freaked me out. You are a brave woman! I want to be more like you!

I'm sorry that your mom's vision is not improving. I will keep her in my prayers!

it wasn't that bad when i had it done, although i did feel like i was in assembly line. those doctors really clean up!

I'm glad that you don't need the surgery. 20/25....hmmmm.... when was the last time I had that good of vision..... say 1973???!!!!! Good for you!!

I didn't know Texas cooled down. That surprises me.

 

[AnneR]

Anne - are you trying to break a record? wow!

Lorie - LOL, I think it is more that things are real crazy and this thread has really helped me to focus on things that are positive and a lot more fun.

I can't wait to meet you guys in December!!

 

[kathrna]

Hmmmmm.... it's been quiet around here. I wonder what happened to Terrie.

 

[AnneR]

I don't remember seeing her this morning...

We are just hanging here at home for a little while trying to decide if we will be good and make our dinner or do what the 12 year old wants and go somewhere. Boredom is deadly.

 

[kathrna]

Where does she want to go? I'm too lazy to go out. I was thinking of ordering in. I hear pizza calling my name. "Kaaaathyyyyyyyy..."

 

[sshaw10060]

Seems quite today. Hopefully things will pick up and we will hit 250 by the end of the night.

She hasn't said where to eat, she wants to go spend money at 5 Below.

The only choice for delivery here is a single restaurant - italian and it takes forever. Faster to call in the order and drive and get it.

 

[katscradle]

I am making ribs, mashed patatoes, and corn for dinner.
I also went and got a haircut today.
I feel better now that I can see again.
Then I plan on trying to watch Surviour tonight.

 

[AnneR]

We decided on sandwiches.

The meanest mom in the world has struck again. I am not driving to 5 Below tonight. We can go over the weekend.

I think I need a power nap.

Lasik was the best money I've ever spent on myself. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My vision was 20/800! EEK! I was a -6.5 in contacts. I'm now 20/20! Love it!

I have a bit of good news finally. My husband works in Philly. It's an hour commute each way. He was hired to work in Delaware, but things changed and in June he had to start work in Philly. The extra cost for gas, train, and subway tokens have hit us pretty hard, then he got city tax deducted from his check. UGH!

He's been asking for an increase to cover the city tax as others have received it, but not him. He's been asking since June.

Well, today he asked again and finally got the increase to cover the city tax! Woooo Hooooooo!

Great news Jen, every bit helps! Commuting costs are crazy, Vinny can take the Long Island Rail Road to work for free, and can use all NYC public transportation for free.....but, do you think he takes advantage of it???
No, he prefers to drive because it's easier. It may be easier, but it costs so much more.

Great news!!! I am sure that is a relief.

I know I shouldn't complain but we are finally slated to have decent temperatures tomorrow in the low 80's. We have been mainly in the 60's all week. I am not ready for the cooler weather. I much prefer being hot to being cold.

I'd be happy to join you for both supper and Survivor!

My eyes are minue 13.5. I think even with the surgery I'd still need glasses. Maybe when I get cataract surgery I will know what like without glasses is like!

Fabulous about the "raise"!

 

[wildfan1473]

Just peeking in for a quick minute while the washer and dishwasher are going. Boys are just about packed, and I just finished re-making t-shirts. I washed them before doing the transfers, I'm not washing them again

I'm with you. I have a hard enough time getting an exam, I could never do lasik!

I can't wait to meet you guys in December!!

We can't wait to meet you either!

Where does she want to go? I'm too lazy to go out. I was thinking of ordering in. I hear pizza calling my name. "Kaaaathyyyyyyyy..."

I wish I could order in - we're 15 miles from town. I'm not even sure I have any frozen pizza left...

I am making ribs, mashed patatoes, and corn for dinner.

I got my haircut today too!

Great news! I remember my dad having the same commute, except we were on the Jersey side of the Del Mem Br, and he worked at the Philly train station. It was not fun, we never saw him.

Yikes! We're under a freeze warning for tonight. Its supposed to be about 25 degrees with snow showers when we leave on Saturday morning, I'm having a hard time deciding what everyone's going to wear on the plane.
