The results are in
Earlier this month I was stressing out trying to get my 25-page paper done for my grad-school class. Got my final grade today…an A. Was there any doubt? (Um, actually yes, there was). Good times.
I can see clearly now…
Well, clearer anyway. This morning I was able to read the 20/20 line at the doctor’s office. Tonight, things are a little blurry at some distances. I’ve been told that it can take a few days for my vision to stabilize.
My eyes feel a little itchy but the haziness I saw yesterday is almost entirely gone.
Eye day!
Had LASIK surgery today. Woohoo!
The most uncomfortable part was when they used the laser to make the flap of the cornea.
The surgery itself wasn’t bad at all. Now things are a bit hazy and my eyes feel the slightest bit scratchy (I”m told that will get worse tomorrow). I can already see an improvement. My eyes are a bit light sensitive at the moment, and there are star bursts around lights, but it isn’t too bad.
Just relaxing the rest of the day.
Clash of the Choirs
I watched the first show of Clash of the Choirs: Holiday Challenge tonight. The gimmick is that five famous singers have recruited choirs to compete in a four day competition.
The first thing I noticed was that the “Holiday Challenge” seems to be a misnomer. Nary a holiday (we like to call it Christmas round these parts) song was heard. For the most part, the songs were pop hits. Performances included “Life is a Highway” and Bon Jovi’s “Living on Prayer” – you know, traditional choir fare (or maybe not).
Then Patti LaBelle’s choir took the stage and sang an amazing rendition of “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” This competition may as well be over. Just give her choir the award now. None of the others have a chance. First, she arranged a song that is actually a fit for a choir (Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer”? Please!). Second, they did an amazing job of singing it. Smart move going gospel. It is just a natural fit for a choir.
Patti LaBelle’s choir is the only reason to watch this show.
Couple of suggestions for NBC. Have the Choir’s sing “holiday” (i.e. Christmas) songs for a “Holiday Challenge” and don’t try to force pop songs into a choir genre. That just doesn’t work.
Her 1st birthday
Today was Bailey’s first birthday. Had a little party. She seemed to enjoy her first taste of cake even though she didn’t seem like she was sure what she should be doing with it.
This year has gone by fast. Hard to believe we’ve been doing this parenting thing for a year already. We’ve loved it.
Happy Birthday Sunshine.
The clue
“He suffered a mild heat attack today.”
The question:
Who is Alex Trebek?
Come on. That’s funny. (only because the heart attack was mild).
O’ Christmas tree
This year’s tree. Honeybun had to decorate it by herself because I was working on a paper for a Monday deadline.
Man, that is a lot of ornaments.
Fixed it
Ok, the contact form now works.
Also, changed the theme again to get a more widget friendly version. Cool, huh?
S&1+!
My boss of five years got fired today.
He is one of the best managers I’ve ever worked for and definitely my favorite. I’m not sure the employees know what they might be in for. As coworker of mine said, “people need to be careful what they wish for.”
If you see this, good luck boss. I pray you land someplace where they will appreciate what you do (and will pay you A LOT of money for doing it). I miss working for you already.
