Aaaaaaah! The Barenaked Ladies are coming to town on November 21st and tickets go on sale on Saturday and Marcus promised to go with me the next time they came but we don't have that kind of money right now and they'll probably sell out before we do. I hope KBCO is giving away some tickets to this one.

Fall is in the air, the days are getting shorter, the new season of television programs are starting. This could mean only one thing—it's time to pull out the halloween decorations! I love Halloween more than any other holiday, including Christmas. I was so happy when manufacturers started creating cool outdoor decorations. While not as large as the Christmas collection, I have several boxes of Halloween things. I'm always looking for unique items to add to my spooky stash. I have to have this Ghost Tree Face. It glows in the dark and fastens to either side of an object to make the ghost appear to be moving through the object. How clever! There's another awesome decoration that you hang on a tree and it seems like a Witch's Face is emerging from it. That site has a lot of cute things I'd like to have.

Dad read my Post of Woe® from Sunday and insisted that he get me new glasses as a late birthday/early Christmas gift. Not only did it get me out of work (I'll post more about that joke later this evening), but now I CAN SEE!!!! Well, I will when my eyes get back to normal. They dialated them and the vision is still a bit fuzzy. You'd think in this day and age, they could dialate your eyeballs and not have it take hours for your eyes to return to normal.

They have a newer kind a lens out for people with astigmatism that corrects a problem I never noticed I had until I got home and looked through my old broken ones. With the older lenses, looking straight ahead your vision is clear, but the peripheral vision areas are blurry. Everything is clear with the new ones. Wow—I'm impressed.

The bad news is there is nothing that can be done about the floater in my left eyeball. I'll just have to live with it. The good news is, unless I get a whole bunch more, it's nothing serious.

OK, now I need to rest. I have a headache.

I saw this meme over at Laura's.



Ten Things I’d Do if I had More Time

1. Have a healthy, home-cooked meal on the table every night for Marcus.
2. Join some kind of women's crafting club (knitting, crocheting, quilting, scrapbooking?)
3. Spend more quality time with my dad.
4. Talk classes--I love learning things.
5. Volunteer.
6. Finish the tons of projects I have started.
7. Get rid of unnecessary files on my hard drives.
8. Redesign my web sites.
9. Get a puppy.
10. Read more books.

Marcus and I were watching CSI: Miami tonight and in response to something he said, I went, "Yip, Yip, Yip, Yip." It sounded darned familiar and then it dawned on me: It was those silly aliens from Sesame Street. Isn't amazing how these things stick in your memory?



Speaking of television, I watched the premiere of The Class. Man, that show was dumb and I'll never waste precious time on that thing again. I didn't know the premise of the show before I watched. A guy wants to surprise his girlfriend on the 20th anniversary of their meeting (first day of 3rd grade) by having a party reuniting people from that class, even though none of them have ever kept in touch. LAME! Yeah, don't see this series running long term. I also can't believe The New Adventures of Old Christine is back. I recorded The Megan Mullaley show this afternoon. Not going to watch that again, either. Not entertaining at all. When in the hell does Medium come back?
