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 […]

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 […]
The “What Ifs”
I’m a very indecisive person, if you don’t know me. My ability to take decisive action is something I’m constantly working on, but am still not very good at. Let me give you a way-scaled-down version of what I’m talking about: I went out running this morning and made it to the corner of our […]
How To Paint A Guitar: 5150 Project Final
The guitar has finished drying and I’ve reassembled all the hardware. Below are some pictures after the buffing, reassembly, and application of the 5150 space tape. I’ve also included a little before and after look at the guitar. BEFORE: AFTER:
Indiana Jones 4
We went to see the new Indiana Jones movie yesterday. Like the rest of Gen X (and most of the Baby Boomers, too), I was thoroughly excited to go watch this movie. The first three movies (and the Nintendo game) were staples of my childhood, and I’ve watched the Indiana Jones stunt show at DisneyWorld […]
