Repeat after me....Glasses are NOT the end of the world.

So, today was a LONG day, and I did a lot and I totally wasted my day off.

First, I got up early so that we could go to the bank.

At the bank we 1. Opened a second checking account solely for online purchases. And 2. Took $325 out of my savings account to pay for my glasses. That nearly wiped out my savings...and since my husband never give me any of my own money, there’s no way to rebuild it. -sigh-

After the bank, we went to the library, because its close. I checked out 4 books.

1. Confessions of a Teeage Drama Queen by Dyan Sheldon.
2. Water Marked by Helen Elaine Lee
3. Summerland by Michael Chabon
and
4. In the Valley of the Shadow by Leonard Sanders

After the bank we went to pick up my glasses, thus making me officially a four eyed freak. I hate it. The glasses dull down the blue color of my eyes, and the only thing I’ve ever really liked about myself is the color of my eyes!

BEFORE

AFTER


We came home after that, and my MIL said that she was going to go to the bank and the dollar tree and asked if I wanted to come. I, being a Dollar Tree junkie, said sure, even though I didn’t have any cash.

My MIL, who loves me more than my hubby, gave me some money and I bought some dog biscuits for the rats (and the dogs can have some too), some chocolate chip cookie mix, some gum, and a book. I don’t even remember the name of the book, and I’m too tired to get up and go look for it.

We then came home and ate lunch. She said she wanted to go to Michael’s and I said I’d go with her. She said, “Are you sure? Its your day off.” I told her I didn’t mind as long as I didn’t have to work, and plus if I was shopping with her I’d be able to get her my employee discount.

After Michael’s we went to Wild Birds Unlimited, which is in the same shopping center. Then went home again, and she gave me one of the things she had bought at Michael’s. It is a wall hanging made to look like daisies on a picket fence, and it had butterflies and ladybugs on it. When she bought it I didn’t know it was for me.


Then she told me that at 6 we would be going out to eat at Fire Mountain (an all you can eat buffet), her treat.

Told you she loved me.

After I ate much, much, much more than I should have, I came home and here I am. Wearing glasses, bloated from eating too much, and blogging.

Gotta love me.
