Wildflower Center

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

A few weeks ago (or probably longer), my department at work (all three of us) went on our annual “team building” trip. This year, we chose to go to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. It was a really nice outing and I highly recommend the center …

LASIK

Friday, April 29th, 2005

Well, I did it! I had my LASIK surgery yesterday. I was scared, but it was relatively painless. In case anyone is interested, what follows is a description of what it was like.

First, they take you back and make you put on little booties over your shoes (they barely fit …

Eye Drops

Monday, April 25th, 2005

I had my ‘pre-op’ LASIK visit today. They did all kinds of things – including an ultra-sound of my eye and sticking pieces of paper in my eye and making me keep then in a few minutes! (Here’s what what the paper thing probably looked like.) They …

More Flash

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

My flash class continues – not that I’ve had much time for it. I seem to be doing the bare minimum on the assignments. Here’s my latest one. We were supposed to do a drop down menu via a movie clip that contained buttons that called other movie …

Glasses Suck

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

How do people wear glasses every day? Wearing mine is driving me nuts. My eyes ache. And driving at night? Not a good thing. It’s much harder for me to see at night with glasses than with contacts. Yeah, I know I’d eventually get used to it, but man, this …

Good-bye Contacts?

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

If everything goes as planned, tonight is the last night I’ll ever take out my contacts. My Lasik is next Thursday, so I have to stop wearing contacts and go to glasses starting tomorrow. I’m so used to the contacts, it’s kind of a weird feeling.

I’m definitely not used to …

Oh my. This site will either make you laugh your ass off or cry because you’ve lived through it.

Can’t Breathe

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

Oh lordy how I hate head colds. I’m drowning in mucous. Make it stop! Make it stop!

An African or European Swallow?

Hee! The comments are fun too.

Lasik

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

I got my appointment for Lasik surgery yesterday. I’m both nervous and excited about this. I’m so nearsighted (worse than 20/800) that I don’t even like walking around my own home without my contacts. I’m completely dependent on them to get around in the world. My surgery will be the …
