This cracks me up

My boys are pretty excited about Christmas coming so they talked me into getting out the tree and decorations. They did most of the work of decorating, I just had to clean a bit. Then they got to the nativity set. They asked me how things should be arranged. So I told them that baby Jesus goes in the middle with eveyone else grouped around. As you can see, I think Jesus has groupies. Maybe not a bad thought at that.

There was this paper

I had a paper due. It was about weeds. Lately my middle name is Procrastination. (I've never liked that name, ha!) Anyway I did get it finished and presented yesterday and the prof said it was good. Yay! So now maybe I can get some other things done. I'm wanting to knit and spin. Wanting to.
Have a great weekend!

Every day

Every day I take a shower (aren't you relieved?). Every day I open the shower curtain to grab my towel. (Cue sexy music) And every day I then see 2 cats, looking at me like "What, you didn't know we were here?"

I was

I took a picture of my toe last week. I had drawn a happy face on the bandaid because it was a sad toe from being slashed by a nail. But it was scary. So I didn't.

The eyes have it.

I didn't really tell you the whole story of the eye thing. First we went in, they did all the little lens flicking on that monstrosity they use to check your vision. the letters were all on a screen on a computer that was reflected in a big mirror. The last time I went to the eye doctor, people didn't have computers much. All these new fangled gadgets these days. (getting old alert) Then we were told we needed glasses. So then we picked out frames. Mine look spectacular thankyouverymuch. Then the drops. Some drops to numb your eyes and those burned a little. Then the drops to dilate. Those were the trouble. They work. Wide eyed little kitten I was. Too bad I couldn't see anything. Then they put you in a dark room and shine a bright light in your eyes. (I know, I know, they do it to everyone but it's all new to me) Then they bring you out and make you sign your life away when you can't even read anything. Then out into the cold cruel world. Well, actually it was nice out. But so bright! So I took my son to Mcdonalds (food mecca) and I couldn't tell if they gave me the right salad because I couldn't see it. Then I go to throw all the trash off my tray and as I tip it, I hear a clink. Holy crap, my keys. I say "oops" and hear some giggles off to my right but I can't tell if it's young girls or old men giggling at me. What is there to do but start digging. Fortunately they had just changed the trash and so I was only digging through my trash. Finally found the keys and beat a hasty retreat. It took a long time for my eyes to get back to normal. The next day felt like my eyes had a hangover.

Augghhhhhhh, my eyes!

My son and I visited the eye doctor today. First time for him and second time for me. Turns out that ours eyes have nearly the same prescription. They dilated our eyes though and now I can't see very well at all. Pretty annoying.

Fish

I dreamt of fish the other night. Now, I don't like fish, I don't like to fish. Just not a fishy person all the way around. So I'm dreaming that I come home after a trip. (except it isn't my house) I go in the house and see a very big fish tank with fish in it. (I don't have fish) I think "wow, I hadn't seen that before I bet they are hungry" I go to look and there is a blue fish and a yellow fish. (looking suspiciously like fish from Finding Nemo) As I get closer, they leap out of the tank. My husband grabs one and puts him back and I finally corner the other one who is trying to bite a chunk out of a 2x4 and get him back. Weird. Then I'm at work, walking past a sink and I see two big fish in the sink. Red fish. I think that someone just caught them and are about to clean them. As I walk by, one red fish just leaps out of the sink at me. So I put my hand out to ward him off and yell. Well, it woke me up and woke up my son and he asked why I yelled. I said, 'well, there was this fish...."
