Quick Takes of the Monday Variety

Can I do a summary post for Monday? WHY YES I CAN BECAUSE THIS IS MY BLOG AND I’M PAYING THE BILL! Well, kinda.

Let’s see, where do I start? (ANYWHERE I WANT TO *muahahaha*)

—1—

Friday was my check-up for Lasik. No, this won’t be a Lasik post, so stop considering leaving (thank you). My vision is still a little wonky, especially at night (halos) (don’t know what that is, try Mr. Wiki) (Do not confuse ‘Mr. Wiki’ with ‘Mr. Winky’).

The most awesome part of that follow-up is that I’ve been relinquished of the horrid eye drop schedule and now I only need the Restatsis and the rewetting drops. The “bad” news is that my eyes are very dry, so I’ll need to put those drops in pretty much ever half hour (it’s “as needed” and I “need” them every 10 minutes…so…).

I’ll do a vlog about it some time this week since I can finally wear eye makeup and there’s pretty much zero chance of me ever doing a vlog without at least a little mascara. Go ahead and call me vain.

I got my Nikon back (*happy tears*), so you can all rest assured that the parade of crappy iphone picks can now stop. Except for twitpics, so… don’t set those standards too high.

Since I never told you that my Nikon was broke, the Nikon broke. Well, “broke”. The flash stopped working, so I shipped it to NY for repair, which was under warranty (yay). And they cleaned it (kudos to Nikon).

—3—

Bret Michaels is in the ICU. That’s not random if you understand my love for trashy shows and VH1 (did I just repeat myself?). Hope he gets better soon and then needs a sexy nurse (Rock of Love: Live-in Nurse)

—4—

Speaking of shows that I should probably be ashamed of, Army Wives is back on! Actually, you shouldn’t be embarrassed of watching it, and I’m not. Maybe I’m just embarrassed that I love it so much even when the storyline gets a little predictable.

I’m watching it now, since I finished my B-Metro post and the boys have semi-calmed down. (The post isn’t up yet, just so you know)

—5—

Speaking of, THANK GOD THEY CALMED DOWN. Well, by “they”, I mostly mean Conner because he hasn’t stopped talking except to eat and sleep since Friday. Not quite sure what’s going on, but save me?

I went to CVS earlier. I checked the weather before I left and it said we were under a “strong wind advisory”, but that didn’t factor into my outfit choice for the errand. I walk into the store, get my items, and walk out just as a strong gust meets me.

I was wearing a skirt.

A thin, cotton, tiered (thus “flowy”) skirt.

I caught the majority of my skirt with my elbow when it met my belly button.

Yay for clean panties!

Ok. Picture time… this skirt —>

So in the future:

And yes, those are my boobs are my default pic for twitter. Which is more or less why you should follow me on twitter. After about a week I threw a pink breast cancer awareness twibbon on it to make it look less like a social media ploy - it’s actually a social media ploy.

OH! And btw, there’s some sort of boobie earthquake going on on Twitter (hash tag #boobquake), but I have no idea what it’s really about. Except that it’s about boobies, I got that part.

Annnd 3 seconds later, I’ve learned from The Bloggess that BoobQuake is an … acknowledgement? Of slutty outfits that encourage cleavage? Something like that. Although I have gained a little more than a full cup size over the last 6 months, I’m going to guess that I can’t truly celebrate this occasion with a full B?

Even though this isn’t a 7 Quick Takes, I feel bad without a #7. This week I’m going to try to schedule posts because I’m sick of saying “zomg! i want to blog that!” and then not doing it and then something else comes up and I blog that but never blog about the other thing… so… this is a really long sentence and I’m gong to end it by saying that I’m going to attempt to schedules posts (title: this, date: that” and maybe even categorize them but that might be me getting ahead of myself) AND BREATH!

7 Quick Takes - First For The New Blog!

—1—

Whoa. It’s Friday. I’ve got to say, this week has been so busy for me! Last week being Spring Break, no one in this town wanted to take an appointment for the week, so somehow they ALL ended up smushed into the week after.

You all know what I did Monday. Then Tuesday I went for my LASIK consultation. I KNOW, RIGHT? I can’t even began to express my sheer joy and absolute elation over the possibility of correcting my vision.

In my worst nightmares, I’d wake up in the middle of the night with someone trying to murder/rape/rob my family and I’d be too blind to a) be of any use and b) unable to identify them in a lineup. BUT, in just a few short days, that will be fixed.

Note: to those who wish to murder/rape/rob me (or my family): We have an alarm. A LOUD ONE. And a gun. THAT WE KNOW HOW TO USE. AND animals. With teeth. SHARP teeth. Also noteworthy: I’ll kick you in the nuts. Twice.

I have to do a certain amount of time without contacts in (read: only glasses), so I’m a little concerned about the prospect of migraines in my near future. BUT OH WELL.

The contest for the BlogHer ‘10 sponsorship is going quite well. Kelly is such a wonderful person to work with and she really cares about those interested in her business. It also helps that she’s just SO MUCH FUN. If you still haven’t entered the contest, please stop by her site and take a look around. 

She’s doing wonderful things for the blogging community!

I also had a dentist appointment this week. I know, I know - I don’t care either. Then we did something? Wednesday? Oh, I don’t remember. Thursday was speech for Conner, and the ReceptioNazi wasn’t there.

I thanked God no less than 10 times.

That link goes to my old blog [themomjob.net] - for some reason, that post didn’t transfer over. Looking into that now.

I want to start making bread, but I don’t have a bread machine. Any thoughts/recipes? Gracias!

Last week we went to Birmingham for a pulmonology check-up for Conner. We stayed overnight and went to the Galleria the next day.

First, let me just say that the Galleria has really stepped it up! There’s several shoe stores upstairs that I would have easily signed my life over for (ok, I’d just GLADLY take those shoes off their hands) (forever). If anyone from Birmingham wishes to let me know the name of said store (upstairs and close to Jessica McClintock, Bakers, etc), PLEASE DO SO.

The boys enjoyed the Lego Store too!

But, they didn’t so much enjoy the carousel. Like, at all. Ok, Conner kinda did, but Chase? HAHAHHANo.
