What is up with people honking their car horns at me when I’m running? I’m not running in the middle of the road (I’m on the sidewalk), so I’m definitely not in the way. I’m running fully clothed, no holes in my shirts/shorts. I don’t know enough people around here that it’s just people giving […]

Catching up…
So life has been hectic & somehow almost 2 months have elapsed without any blogging from me. A short run-down of what’s transpired recently, in no apparent order: Lasik was successful. Seeing at or around 20/20. I was 20/15 before the surgery, but can’t tell that much of a difference. I can see. That’s all that […]
12 hours to go
Surgery is at 8 am tomorrow, so I’m doing everything I can to keep my mind off of it. I’ve been doing laundry, cleaning up the house, reading a book, watching television, and blogging to avoid all thoughts of eye-related things. I’ve gotten pretty darn good at compartmentalizing… although a shrink might call it “denial” […]
“Worst case scenario, you lose an eye…”
Those are the words that came out of my optometrist’s mouth when I asked him about Lasik. No sugar coating, no warm fuzzies…. we jumped directly to the “Laura with an eye patch” visual. And yet, somehow, I’ve still managed to sign myself up for Lasik surgery. In a mere 58 hours or so, I […]
Joe Horn’s 911 call
If you haven’t heard about this already, listen to the following 911 call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtRr4vwo6Q Let me know your thoughts…. in my opinion, Mr. Horn is quite the badass, and took care of business. I’m sure fewer homes would get broken into if there were more Joe Horns out there. In my neighborhood, this would never happen, […]
A clean slate
University of Phoenix held our graduation ceremony this past weekend. Our graduation speaker was the same as two years ago, Bertice Berry. Bertice is a great speaker who does many UOP graduation ceremonies each year. In her speech this year, she mentioned how each day is a clean slate. She described this with a beautiful […]
FUN weekends!
Man, I forgot how fun weekends could be. It seems like for the last, I don’t know – forever?, I’ve been spending my weekends playing catch-up around the house. All week long, I’m so drained when I get home at the end of the day, that I just let all of the cleaning/laundry/yardwork pile up […]
Smurfin’ awesome!
Long live the 80s! Any child of the 80s can recall fond memories of watching the Smurfs. Those were the days… watching and learning from Papa Smurf with his red outfit, Vanity Smurf with his mirror, Handy Smurf with his hammer… oh, the list goes on and on. Who hasn’t wondered at some point about Smurfette […]
Shameless plug
The 80s Team will be playing next Friday, June 13 at Mickey Roo’s in Franklin. Come check them out!!
Heebie jeebies…
So I’m wandering through my house tonight, on my way downstairs with a basket full of laundry, when I notice odd things happening outside. Like flashing lights and some dude prowling around my neighbor’s yard with a flashlight. The lights were reflecting off the house around the side of the house, so I couldn’t tell if it […]
