a welcomed surprise!

Remember this post?

We pulled out our cards tonight to play some hand and foot and found a surprise in the tin. Obviously it's been over a year since we have played hand and foot... or skip-bo for that matter.

Sunglasses . . . anyone?

I am completely frustrated.  I lost my sunglasses!  I have searched as many places as I can think to search.  I have no more ideas.  So if anyone sees them, tell them I miss them.

Not only are they nice to have... I mean who really likes the sun in their eyes?  But, who wants to lose a nice pair of $350.00 sunglasses?  I haven't even had them an entire year yet!  Grrr...

But if anyone stole them, or finds them... lets hope they have bad eyes.  Otherwise, they are in for a nice, good headache.

P.S.  In case you find an extra pair, they are Black Ralph Lauren Sunglasses with a small white stripe on the sides (vertical) with white insides - kinda largish.   They are very prescriptioned and are in a black Ralph Lauren case.  Thank You.

More about . . . me, of course.

New Glasses

I suppose I could post a picture of them! ;)

Finally a CURE!!

So as you know, I have been having headaches for about a month everyday. I finally decided that just maybe if I were to get some prescription sunglasses. Maybe my eyes were just getting too tired from squinting in the bright sun. So we went to Lenscrafters and picked out some sunglasses. I was just hoping that they would fill them with my prescription on hand and we could get on with our day. Wrong. My prescription was two years old, so of course they required me to get a new eye exam. I hate eye exams.

So in the beginning they had me leave my glasses on and try to read some letters on a chart. Let's just say I could not read any of them. I thought... hmm... that's weird. Isn't that why I HAVE glasses? So we finish up the tests (including the glaucoma test with the puffs of air in your eye! I HATE that test!) and she has me take of my glasses and puts the chart up there. I could barely read the FP. How LAME is that?!?! So she reads my current prescription in my glasses and runs a test to see my basic prescription. Before I was a 1.5 in both eyes. She tells me that she is reading me at a 2.5. WHAT?!?! In the ten years that I have had glasses I have increased .25. That's it. And now all of a sudden a gain a FULL point? Blah! So long story short... we spent the entire day at Lenscrafters and I got new glasses. And... I CAN SEE!! I haven't had a headache since... and the world is BRIGHT again! SO wonderful!

But they did dilate my eyes and I hate that too. I looked like a freak all day and my eyes were so tired and sensitive to light.

Here are my new glasses!!

And my new sunglasses!!

So finally it is all over and it all makes sense. At least there was a happy ending to the story. (Not the two new pairs of glasses part, but the being able to see part!) NO MORE HEADACHES!! Yay!! (At least I sure hope so!!)

Maxym Michael Robison

Today we went to Payson to go to Dustyn's sisters baby blessing! It was a great get together and so good to see everyone. Of course being the great picture taker that I am... I forgot to take pictures. But if you want to see a picture of Maxym, just click on the tag.

Of course, my glasses broke again! Blah! But this time we couldn't find the screw. So I went a day/afternoon without my glasses. Uhm.... not such a great idea. Ouch! My head does not like me today! We finally got home and I went and found my old glasses again. They drive me crazy! But I guess glasses are glasses! I think I need a new pair!
