oh hello.
today is not a casual dress friday for me. I have to be at a client site at 11 am for a meeting. I'm not sure why this guy, a good guy mind you, would want to meet at 11 am on a friday. Most of them cats are gone or work from home on a friday. Hopefully it will only take an hour.

Argh! My doctor wanted to operate on my lazy eye and I cried and begged and pleaded with my mom not to do it. I never had the operation. I actually have 2 lazy eyes. Most people don't notice though. They usually only drift when I look in the mirror. 

My friend had the operation in her teens and then had to wear a patch for awhile.

Hey, heading out the door. Did a couple things from home and now off to meet a few new customers...I hope. Lunch with one of our branches then an early exit for the weekend.

Yay Friday!

Its raining.

Good luck Darlene!

Morning all. I will be lurking about as usual today. Nothing interesting to report. Nothing at all. I'm boring.

Darlene, I hope your house woes are settled as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Ex's are Ex's for a reason.

yes, best wishes darling!

Good morning folks and folkettes.

Darlene, I hope things turn around for you soon.

Woo, you're eyes probably aren't lazy they just lack motivation.  (That's what my guidance counseler used to tell me in high school anyway, when I'd try to explain why I didn't do my homework)

JD, it still annoys me on some deep level that in 2008 we still as a society feel a need to dress up to impress another person who is dressing up to impress us. As if a long colorful rag tied around a tight collar choking our neck somehow makes us smarter. I just don't get it. Every time I hear someone say "Oh, I had to suit up today because I got a big meeting" it just makes me shake my head.

Disco, glasses aren't so bad anymore. I bet he'll be ok with them.

As for my day, I knew I had an item coming that would arrive and need my signature. I knew this item could arrive anytime between 9 AM yesterday and 9 PM tonight. Somehow I knew that it would be closer to 9 PM tonight, even though I had to stay tied to the apartment "just in case".

I hope it gets here soon. I'm feeling a little stir crazy. I need to get out and go somewhere. ANYWHERE.

It's funny, I've gone two days without leaving the apartment before and it's never bothered me. But knowing I CAN'T leave is what's driving me crazy.

Think of how many of societies problems would be solved if we were all born without eyes!

Of course, we'd have a whole new set of problems, like an alarming number of deaths from people accidentally walking off cliffs

Oh, and for the eyes, I have a lazy eye too. I used to do the glasses thing and the patch thing. I survived okay.

Mz, the first bill statement at this apartment we got contained 2 other residents bills and then ours wasn't even right. When we brought them back, the leasing consultant said we weren't even supposed to get one that month and that it was the property mgr's doing.

Thanks for your well wishes...... You'll all still be my friend even if my house is foreclosed on right??

Happy Friday all!! 

Darlene, best of luck to you!  Sorry you have to let your home go into foreclosure, but it's probably the best thing to do at this point.  Hopefully when all is said and done, it will help you out of the money crunch you've been in.

DS, hope your son likes his glasses when he picks them up.  My youngest daughter had a lazy eye and had to have surgery on it back when she was 4; her's was so bad the doctor said she'd permanently lose the sight in it without surgery.  Did the eye doctor put a prizm in his glasses??  I've heard that those can help strengthen the eye muscles and correct the lazy eye.
