There are people on the net that
have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other
people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking
about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day
talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I say
grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the
web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am,
or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my
hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on,
go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just
click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the
offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine.
That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like
it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go
somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too
fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone
forgot this simple fact: Live and let live
Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This
journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to
write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So
read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours)
bitching about it.

Busy Week So Quick Update Here's the Reader's Digest, bullet-point version of my week. :)
Spent a lot of time in the early week preparing for Love's birthday and getting everyone in on a surprise gift for him. (A new cell phone that required everyone to chip in since it was pricey.) He had NO IDEA I had gotten even his friends at work involved! Sneaky, sneaky me! :)
Eye Exam
Wednesday I got my eye exam! Went to the Optical center in Super Target ($55 total) and the doctor was really nice. She was about my age and totally understood about the pupil dilation = migraines problem and did the full exam, sans dilation without a problem. It went so well!
My Rx barely changed (a good thing! stable and steady is apparently what you want) and my eyes look healthy. It's -2.75 with a tiny, slight .25 astigmatism in both eyes.
The only negative is that I have some blockage in my tear ducts that are probably cause my eyes to be drier then they should be (something I hadn't really realized they were "dry" but I do rub them a lot and I tend to think of them "hurting" a little so what I think of that is probably really dryness.) I need to massage my eyelids with a warm washcloth two times a day for two weeks to help try and open up the ducts.)
Love's Birthday @ WDW
Thursday, Feb 18th was Love's 40th birthday. (Yes my guy's getting old. Sadly so I am but there's seven years difference in us so thankfully, I'm not that old yet!)
Love and I were supposed to go to Walt Disney World with his brother and our friend Rand but both of them had to cancel so it wound up just being the two of us.
We did lunch at the Whispering Canyon Cafe inside the Wilderness Lodge Resort on property. It was the first time we'd been to that restaurant and I picked it because (a) we love the theme and style of the Wilderness Lodge and (b) the menu was way up Love's alley with all-you-care-to-eat ribs, chicken, cornbread and a ton of extras. It was really tasty!
Afterward we wandered around the Magic Kingdom for a few hours, caught a few rides and watched the fireworks before heading out pretty early (leaving around 8:45pm)
Friday, we went shopping for Love's birthday party which is a family/friends event on Saturday. Picked up lunch meats, cheese, breads and other assorted goodies. Plus Love doesn't know we ordered him an ice cream cake which is his favorite as well.
Love's birthday party is Saturday at 2pm so that should be fun. Looking forward to having a nice afternoon. We're having it at our friend Rand's house since he has a house and we have an apartment. Much more room at his place.
New Glasses!
Also on Friday I finally ordered new glasses! (I can pick them up Saturday after 3pm.) When I filed my taxes and saw I was getting back a decent amount, I immediately said glasses were priority #1. I still had $150 in gift certificates to a vision store but seeing as my last two pairs were over $800 before discounts, I kept putting it off lacking the funds to get glasses.
My new glasses are a cool, more rectangular frame instead of the rounder ones I've been wearing and I even got a new pair of sunglasses as well. My cost after the gift cards? A mere $127!! Holy crap, awesome deal! (They had a two-for special going on.) Bonus to me!
New Job Jitters
Monday I start my new job. For training I'll work 9am-3pm but my normal schedule will be 10pm-4pm. I am SO NERVOUS about it as it gets ever closer. It's been such a busy, active week I haven't had a lot of time to think about it and I've been focused on Love's birthday but as my weekend is approaching and the days until I start are winding down, I realize how scared I am.
My old job was a small, Mom-and-Pop, family-owned business with like 10 employees total. My new job is a MAJOR company with like 2,000 people or something just at this location! They're global. It's such a change of pace. Can't get too much further apart then these two companies.
Alright well I think that covers the bases of my week. I should shut down and get ready for bed since it's going on 1am at this point and I have to get up and over to Rand's a few hours in advance for party setup.
Hope everyone's had a good week! I'll get pics of me in my new glasses in the next few days as well because I am so going to want to show them off! :)
