Moving forward

Remember quite some time ago, I had talked about wanting to check into Lasik Eye Surgery for myself?  I’m going to move forward with it and I’ve contacted an eye clinic in Tulsa to come in for the free preliminary screening.  They haven’t contacted me back yet, but it’s Saturday so I’m not surprised.  I let them know I"m off work on Wednesday already and would love to be able to come in then if at all possible.  We’ll see what happens.

My bonus alone is enough to pay for this surgery outright and I know it’ll be gone soon if I don’t act on it.  Mike bought his car with his and he will get carried away and spend more than he realizes quite quickly on parts for it.  Two large purchases at one time make me very nervous, but we’re not taking away from our normal bills so I just need to grit my teeth and do it.

"Someone" is walking around upstairs again.  Yeah, we still get the noises here and there.  A few days ago there was a chair rolling across the floor in Rory’s room.  We keep that door closed all of the time, so knew nobody was in there to be causing it.  Mike is at the store right now and I’m downstairs in the computer nook.  The footsteps I’m hearing are directly above me, which would be Mike’s closet.  Yeah, can’t walk around in there even if we wanted to….it’s too small. 

The car will be here in an hour or so, so Mike is very excited.  I want to go to Hobby Lobby or something after it’s here….I know that he’ll want to go to some parts stores too so maybe we’ll be out and about this afternoon. 

We’re leaving about 7 in the morning to go to Mom’s.  We’ll have the car loaded and ready to pull out so tomorrow morning won’t be very hectic.  I’m going to plug in my Nook and my camera so they are both fully charged before we leave.  I went and found the Jean Auel Earth’s Children series at Barnes & Noble’s site.  I love the books of hers that I’ve read and am thinking about downloading all six onto my Nook.  That would be about $45.00 though so I’ve not done it yet.  #6, The Land of Painted Caves would be a pre-order, it’s not been released yet.  So, still debating…I could order the five already out , takes it down to about $35.00.

We had a few teaser days of Spring, but now we’re back to dreary gray cold ones.  I’m ready for warmth!! 

I have to find a college basketball game for my little nephew’s PS3.  He asked me for that and I’m finding out what Rory wants.  The best Aunts in the world have to visit bearing gifts, of course.  hahaha   Rory just told me anything with peace signs or zebra stripes on it.  KMart had zebra striped comforter sets like what we got for Mom and ourselves.  We’re heading back to Kmart in a little bit and we’ll get her the zebra striped set.  Yay, a practical gift and she’ll love it.

I always seem to be typing my entries at lunch time these days.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Take care of yourselves!

 P.S. Mike just told me to order those books for my Nook.
