For Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory....

Reality check.

So, Wednesday I had an eye appointment. For those who don't know me or for those who do and are dim, I've worn glasses or contacts since I was 7. The story goes, I hit the corner of my eye on the corner of a door at St. Joseph's. I went to the eye doctor shortly after and couldn't read the charts. My mother was extremely upset that I was faking being unable to read the letters since I had been able to do so since I was 15 months old. Alas though, I really couldn't read the letters because I was near-sighted. The doctor informed my mother then that "I had my father's eyes, and no, not the color."

This appointment was for a full eye exam since I haven't had one in a while. I arrived in my glasses which they told me to do when I called that morning. However, after arriving they promptly put me in a pair of contact lenses for a lens check. The lovely technician handed me the do-hicky, I covered my left eye and began to read the letters on the chart...only to discover that I couldn't read past the second line. Not good! I didn't fare much better reading with my left eye. The doctor came next and yes, my eyes are worse, and I have astigmatism. What was to be an appointment with dilation and all the works turned into a new prescription for my contacts and a new prescription for glasses. So, for my 30th birthday I will be purchasing a new pair of glasses; talk about cliche!

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Hello my lovelies.

So, what has been happening? I wish I could say I've taken these fantastic trips and gone on great adventures, but alas, I've been home. It's been a busy couple of weeks. Work has been hectic, what with IEPs, new students, paperwork, and therapy. However I'm still kicking. I started the clinic three weeks ago and the kids started this week. Lots of new faces which I think could be fun. I've really just spent a lot of my time hanging out with friends. Sarah and her ice skating competition, Drew and Gina for some quality time......I really am lucky to be surrounded by people that I love and people that care about me.

Sarah skating to Blackbird.
Totally shoved the kids off the podium for this shot. Sarah took home silver and gold, respectively!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, or as I'd like to refer to it--Singles Awareness Day. I was lucky though because Sarah came over for dinner and was my Valentine. Our friend Kim was supposed to join us but got stuck at a volleyball tournament, coaching. So, Sarah and I enjoyed a candlelit dinner for two! But hey, more leftovers for Lindsey and me. I made a roast, potato chips, and salad. Oh, and a pomegranate cocktail that'd knock your socks off! Then we grabbed some Ben and Jerry's (talk about cliched for the single gals on Valentine's Day) and watched WALL-E.

I'm excited for the rest of the week as well. Today, Aly and I are going to celebrate her birthday. Dinner and a movie and some girl talk. Tomorrow, I think I'm gonna get some face time with Shannon and her three and Lindsey and I have reservations to Carroll Creek. It's a restaurant here in Annapolis, we're taking advantage of restaurant week and celebrating Valentine's Day together. :) I'm also excited because Nikkie is coming into town.

So, yes. I'm staying busy and enjoying life. I hope everyone else is doing the same!
