New Blinging Rims



Well a few weeks ago I was having headaches everyday. My eyes would twitch and burn and I would feel myself squinting at my computer and even leaning over to get my face as close as I could to the screen.


I finally made an appointment at an eye doctor which just so happened to be the first time in my life that I had seen an eye doctor. The doc. does the puff of air test on my right eye and I am anticipating the left eye puff so I keep blinking but I guess it doesnt matter. Then the doc. checks my vision and says that I have astigmatism in my right eye and I am far sighted and I have allergies.


She gives me my prescription for my lenses, samples for dry tired eyes and tells me to buy this tiny bottle of $12 eye drops for my allergies. Then I got to go pick out my very expensive frames. For those who know me I only buy sunglasses at Target and Wal-Mart, if they cost more than $15 I dont get them. Well the cheepest pair they had were $50 so I thought I will be wearing these things 8 hours a day so I better get some that are confortable.


I immediately picked up a pair of really cool black frames that I have always wanted to wear. They looked very cool but I could tell they would get annoying always having to look at the black frame around everything and they felt heavy and tight behind my ears. So I tried on the rimless, the trendy, the name brand and finally picked up a pair of titanium lightweight bendy ones. They were of course more expensive than the really cool black ones but I could hardly tell they were on my face.


So I ordered them and one week later you are looking at the newest nerd at TMP.

Weekend in Review

  • Friday I got my test results back they said PASS in big black letters.
  • My parents came up Friday and we went out to Pie in the Sky Pizza to celebrate.
  • We watched the snow fall and the population multiply. Every table there had a baby I swear.
  • We tried to watch Michael Crayton the movie but it was so boring for the first 45 minutes that we all fell asleep but Socal and he didnt make it through the whole movie. That was a waste of $4.
  • Socal ran outside and tried to sled down the front yard but his make shift sled didnt work too well.
  • Socal threw snowball at me in the living room.
  • Socal had to clean up snowball.
  • Saturday I signed up for tennis while Socal and my dad scraped the texture off our basement ceiling.
  • Dust everywhere.
  • Dorie got a spanking for getting on our bed with really muddy paws and face.
  • Mom and I called my grandma and got names of family members to put on our Family Tree website that I have been working on.
  • I have a Great, Great, Great grandpa named Cancel.
  • Socal made leg of lamb for my parents for dinner and it was their first time eating lamb they are more acoutomed to wild game.
  • Sunday Socal and I made white chocolate chip pancakes with white chocolate and fruit topping for breakfast for my parents.
  • Sunday afternoon we stopped at Cozymel's Mexican Cantina in Coool Springs for lunch. We had been reluctant to eat there because we are Mexican food snobs from Nolensville Road and didnt want to be seen in a Mexican place named Cozymel's but it was suprisingly good.
  • Next we took my parents to Achedemy Sports where I purchased myself a new tennis raquet and Socal some weight lifting gloves.
  • Then we were on to Cosco, another first time for my parents. Socal and I cannot go in this place without spending $100.00 but my parents some how restrained themselves to only a few items.
  • Next was back home to clean out my truck and put in my new floor mats that my parents got me for my birthday. My old ones were tearing up my high heel shoes and my high heel shoes were tearing up my carpet so I asked for new mats for my b-day.
  • Socal and I then began putting up our new hardware on our kitchen cabinets. Very modern and sleak new cabinet pulls.
  • Dinner was juicy burgers and pasta salad. Mmmm good.
  • Turned on TV to see weird new shows. One was on the discovery channel about modern day lumberjacks called Ax something's. The other was the annual Sand Blasters Championship. Teams spend 2 days building sand castles and every hour or so they draw a number randomly to blow a sandcastle up. Weird.
  • By then the time change had caught up to us and it was bed time.
