I can see! It's a miracle!

I have been informed that for mis-spelling the word "Weenie" in my last post I am a pathetic loser. Meh, that is not really news to me nor is the fact that my spelling is atrocious. I think I came to terms with that when I was in about 5th grade and was always the first one out in the class Spelling Bee... But even still...Kjell, I'm deeply sorry. I promise to run the spelling of all meat products by you before I publicly humiliate myself again.

So yesterday I went to the eye doctor. I decided that while I do enjoy having terrible vision because it is a handy excuse for all of the times when I fall down, it is also not the safest thing when driving at night. My script is now up to -3.75 in each eye. Oh goodie. However I did get some good news as well. The optometrist informed me that my eye sight should level out in a few years when I am in my mid to late 20's. That will be really nice because it is a pain in the batooty going through this every year. :) I will miss the first day after I get my new contacts though. I love the eureka moment when you look outside and can see all of the leaves on trees again, and read signs that are far away. It takes me right back to childhood and the first time I put on my new glasses. I was so impressed with how the stars looked, and how people's faces had all of those wrinkles and quirks. I would spend hours outside at night just looking at everything I had missed.

My plans for today are pretty simple, start packing. It needs to happen because I've got travel plans and everything else at the end of this month so the sooner I get it done the better. The best way I have ever found to get motivated on a project like this is to start taking down things that are personal and make your house yours. So, first move.. down come all of my 4 foot plus paintings, then the photos and the rug. Before long my room will look much more like a hotel and therefore I really won't want to be in it. At least that is the game plan, we'll see how it really goes. In other wonderful and happy news I am slowly managing to get rid of all of the furniture left behind by the guys I used to live with. I'm down to just one couch, a loveseat, a mattress, a dresser and a lamp. Oh yeah, and a beer pong table. I'm not really sure what to do with that since I think that my hosting beer pong days are at an end. I already found homes for one couch, the ping pong table, two kitchen tables, the TV, the golf clubs and Tim's desk. Granted I was the home for the couch and desk but still.. less stuff to deal with. All I have to do is throw those things in the moving truck. Woot. Three more weeks. I got this.

Oh and before I forget... Happy Birthday Kendall! Joey is going to pop out of a cake for you on Saturday. You need to tell me how you got him to want to do that. I keep trying to get that boy to like me but I just don't hold a candle to you. Teach me your Joey catching ways o' wise one. :)
