Well, I was getting these weird headaches and my eyes would feel a bit tired, so I figured I at least needed a new pair of eyeglasses. A quick visit to the eye clinic later and as it turns out, I need new eyeglasses. There's a bit of good news, in that other than that, my eyes seem to be in good health, but if it gets worse, I may consider taking ocular steroids such as eye drops, gels, or ointments. I'm also super light sensitive and I need to wear Humps Optics Polarized Sunglasses even at night when I drive, because of the car lights on the road. Now I'm in Massachusetts, and I have seen the damage I have done. So looking around for a place to get my eyeglasses is a job in itself. There are so many places to look, but so many places are so expensive. So what do I do, a little search, I can always rely on google to help me out Continue Reading
Outrageous Prices!!
When I look out the window it looks like it can be spring, but if you step out you can feel the cold chill in the air, and the lawns with snow still on them, and then you remember, 'Hey it's still winter'! I think we are halfway through winter. I'm actually hoping for another blizzard is that so wrong of me? lol. I took about an hour off from writing this blog, I was looking for a food steamer, similar to one I used when I was in England, and OMGOSH it's hard to find here in the states. I found electric ones, and the stainless steel or aluminum ones were expensive, well actually the stainless steel ones are, I won't even talk about the shipping. And on Ebay the shipping is higher than on Amazon. So I found a nice aluminum one on Amazon and got that, which makes steaming vegetables much easier. I'll post a picture of it. Last weekend Continue Reading
It’s Almost Here!
I can't believe how quickly it's coming up! Christmas is almost here. Did you all get all your shopping done? I did! William still doing a little after work today. Yesterday he was here most of the day, we were waiting for Verizon to show up, to switch us over to Fios. When I was in California at my sisters' house, she had Fios, and it was very fast. I have yet to test the speed of the internet. But I am glad we have it. Unfortunately, it would cost like $300 to get out of the contract with DirectTV and switch over to the other company, so that won't happen until after the contract ends. If you are curious how fast your internet, then go to this website speedtest.net. My results are below! Not bad I guess, much better than how it was before. Interestingly though, I can't auto-date my WordPress, and I've tried and it doesn't seem to Continue Reading
I’m a Toys R’ Us Kid!
Omgosh who don't like Toys R' Us, it's literally been years since I stepped into a Toys R' Us, but once in there, omgosh I wished I was a kid again :P I'd walk down aisles and think, omgosh I wish I was a little girl again lol, or something like that, or I'd say "They didn't have this when I was a kid". So I shake my head say "focus, focus" hehe. And we carry on looking for gifts for William's niece and nephews, it was really a lot of fun. I had to keep telling William, don't forget about Maddy, she's one of the twins, Jeremy is the other, and then there is RJ the oldest, they are really cute kids. So we spend a few hours in there, finding what he wanted to get them, but also admiring some of the things that we as adults can enjoy too!! So no snow, which is a good thing, because these windows on this house need to be sealed, Continue Reading
Ebay Rocks!
I've recently spent a lot of time on ebay shopping lol, and they have so much good stuff, although trying to outbid someone else to get what you want can be frustrating, especially if your ISP is slow, we have Verizon and it's okay, we are looking into getting FIOS, which will make things even faster ;) I've picked up a lot of good things for Christmas presents, there will be happy faces! Wow I started this post like 2 hours ago, and it sat here and I forgot about it, bad me lol. There isn't really much to talk about, just that you know doing the Christmas thing, getting ready for all that. Come Dec 20th we are off to Williams sisters house, for a family Christmas dinner, how nice I'm invited :D but I haven't a thing to wear, which bums me out! So I'll have to see if I can find a nice blouse that I won't freeze in somewhere lol. Then Continue Reading
