Thoughts for the day...

Where to begin?

My eye is doing fine. I gave up trying to keep it covered. It wasn't necessary, all I was trying to do was avoid a headache, and I think the covering accomplished the exact opposite. So I just walk around only being able to clearly see from one eye. Just to let you know, I'm so near sighted that something has to literally four inches from my nose for me to be able to see it.

Thoughts....thoughts....
Today was interesting. We had so folks in from Italy. They would like our business to help thier business do business here in the States and need a States side partner to do it. He was supposedly from Italy, but he sounded British to me. At any rate, it inspired my grandfather to buy Krispy Kreme for the shop guys. I really don't like those donuts. :P

More thinking....
Ah yes, I went to Target yesterday and had a 'girl' moment. I went there to get:
contact solution
dinner
shampoo
milk
I actually got:
dinner
chips
contact solution
milk
a book
a dress
boots
socks
and completely forgot my shampoo.
I went in for $15 worth of stuff and let with $66 worth of stuff. I think everything I got was super cool though. I'll post pictures later. In the meantime, this is the book I bought.
I happen to think that it's kick ass that the author's name is Crouch. Is that dorky of me? I don't care.
So far this book is really good. A little different from my normal pace, but then again, what is my normal pace? My three fave authors right now are Thoreau, Frank McCourt, and Laurell Hamilton. What does that say about me?

Another thought! I like to pick names. I'm not jumping the gun or anything, but names intrigue me. So far names I like:
Silla - no meaning. I had a dream where I had a daughter and that was her name.
Troy - I've always liked it as a boy's name.
Emerson - After another fav author
Eoin - Awesome Irish name
Aideen - Gaelic, flame
Aislin - Gaelic, dream
Bree/Brie - just like it
Tala - Native American, wolf
Talli - Native American, hero
Kaida - Japanese, little dragon

Other names I've picked for things:
Ditto - my doge, he has markings just like his sire
Luna & Lava - two sheperd mixes that I rescued this summer
Durga - my pit/wolf mix, sweetest girl ever
Galileo - my husky, named for his different eyes which made me think of a star gazer
Sigfried, Roy, Piper, Prue, Pheobe, & Page - mice I raised. I know, the names.
Patches - calico cat I had.
Chiene - my brother's pit

I think that's all my thoughts for now...

Arg! Go to work as a pirate day!

Not really, but it feels like it!

Apparently I developed an ulcer on my right eye. Yes, ulcer. Possibly caused by an infection that my optomitrist has no idea how i could have gotten. Let's here it for me and my oddness!

So now I'm doing everything with one eye. I can't wear my contact in my right eye and I have no glasses. I did order them though! Really cute frames from Thalia. Just found them on eyeglasses.com and I could have saved so much money :( Oh well. I was there and just got it done. I should have them in a week. Just in time for my eyes to be fine...


In addition to this zanniness the pharmacy at Target also didn't have any eye patches, other than the child sized adhesive ones. So I took a head band and strapped it over one I and clipped it in places with barrets. I look like a total freak. Actually I think I look like that guy from Dragon Heart who says they should put the red head up as a sacrifice.

Not five minutes!

I found where to put the code....I feel kind of slow, aka stupid.

Erm, change of plans

I've decided I like blogging, and one all about my house hunt just isnt going to do it for me. So, I moved it. The house hunt is now my other blog, Hunt pour Chez-Moi. This blog is now just boring/bored old me.

I really want to make my blog look more interesting. I find the options on here limiting and I'm not 100% on where to enter html or css (if it takes css) to make it look better....I'm trying to relearn everything I already learned and forgot about css so my brain is kind of like mush right now anyway....sigh.

Oh well, I guess I'll perooz (so not the right spelling) through the templates on here and decide what I like...
