So Check Me Out

I finally went to the eye doctor this past week. After two years my eye sight has changed little. However, the doctor dilated my eyes this time. For those that don't have to go to an eye doctor, that's where he makes your pupils HUGE and with his funny looking optical devices he can look inside your eye and check to make sure everything is A-ok on the inside. However, the effects are not so much fun. It makes it so you can't see things up close, sensitive to light, and it's really hard to drive afterwards. Thank goodness Jesse was with me. I felt like an old person though. I had to keep holding things far away from me so I could see it. It was weird. I guess I know how my parents feel now (LOVE YOU MOM!!! =D)

So other than the doctor practically blinding me, he also decided to steal my wallet. Right now we don't have optical as part of our insurance plan. Good thing I have a job because it was a doozy buying everything. I got a year's supply of contacts but my eyes are two different prescriptions so times that by two, new frames, protective stuff for frames, and the actual exams. But I got new frames and their PURPLE =D! Check me out!

I did it. My first Digital Scrapbooking creation! What do you think? Please comment!

Digital Scrapbooking

So tonight my Relief Society did a Digital Scrapbooking activity where one of the sisters in the ward came and showed us how to do it. She also shared some of her books that she has made and oh my gosh they are so cute. I'm so glad I decided to go. I almost didn't due to taking a nap, still needing to eat dinner, etc. But I am so glad I did. She has inspired me and I've finally found a way to scrapbook without the mess and ridiculous cost of things. Thank you, thank you for sharing with us!

If you want to try it, give me a heads up and I'll see if I can send you the instructions she gave us and some websites that she has found plus ones I am finding myself. Oh and here is the fun part of it all. Other than printing pages out, majority of the kits and stuff you use is for FREE!!!! [Cindy I know you're reading this. If you haven't found this stuff already I am expecting you to email me =D]

How Do You Deal With Pain?

Recently I've discovered how I deal with physical pain. You know, like the rip your hairs out very painfully over and over again until your skin is red hot kind of pain! Some people scream. Some people even cry. What do I do? I laugh.

A while ago my best friend, Keshia Miles, and I decided we were going to get our underarms and legs sugared. Sugaring is a lot like waxing, however it is supposedly less painful, it doesn't come back as quickly and if you do it often enough it will end up permanent. So we thought why not? Yesterday was the fated day. Don't let anyone ever tell you that it DOESN'T hurt. It hurts...a lot! Or at least it did for me. And honestly it hurt more on my legs than it did my armpits. Reason why I guess is because I come from a very hairy family whose hair is naturally very thick and courser than others. But like I said, I discovered that I laugh when it comes to hair ripping pain. The girls that were servicing us told us we needed to come back because we were so funny. One of them said they could hear me laughing all the way out in the main area where they do the haircuts. I don't know if I should be embarrassed about that or not.

But on the flip side to all of that pain we also got mini pedicures, I got acrylic nails (that are so stinkin cute, two of my fingers have purple glitter as the tip), and Keshia got a mini manicure. Plus now I don't have man legs as Jesse called it. But the one thing I am the most excited about is now anytime I get the goose bumps after shaving it's not going to be instant pricklies anymore. =D

Pet Peeve

You know what one of my biggest pet peeves is? When looking at a dear friend of mine's wedding pictures and all I see is a photographers logo. I mean come on!!! The point is to look at the beautiful picture, admire it, ooh and ahh at it, and then in a dying urge to know who took such an amazing photo we search the corners for the logo on the picture. However, I've noticed a lot lately that photographers/designers feel the need to plaster their name on their work as big as they can and as brightly colored as they can without being too obvious yet very much there. Now if I am offending anyone because they are a photographer/designer and they might possibly be doing this, I'm not really that sorry. Turn the volume down and let us enjoy a beautiful picture. Instead of *BAM* your name and then oh hey that's a nice picture.
