Okay, it was unfair to leave my previous Lasik entry at that. People (you, Rosanna!) are calling me as if I've been through a terrible ordeal so I should clarify.
I can, at this point, honestly say, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" Every other hour I think to check on my contact lens, whether they are dry or need drops, and I realize WOW! I'm not wearing contacts! My vision is better than ever before -- finally 20/20 (except at night where the halo/glares are even worse than my contacts, but I'm told that should go away soon) and my eyes have been great- no itchy, swelling, irritation like my contact lens. They stay nice and moist and otherwise healthy.
I love it, I love it, I love it.
Who knows, maybe when I come back in for my check-up on Friday I'll have better than 20/20 vision! (20% of wavefront lasik patients can see better than 20/20)
Other than Lasik, the warehouse sale on Sunday was a huge hit. Too huge, in fact. We only had one credit card machine so we set up 2 cashiers which was not enough to handle the crowd of 722 that we pulled in that day. I had to stop what I was doing to help out at the cashier for 5 straight hours without taking a breath. I heard that at some point, the line got to be 2 hours long for the cashiers. I think someone was overexaggerating. Nevertheless, I'm very sorry! We did exceed all expectations and I think we will refine our strategy and plan for another one in the near future, before the Christmas shopping rush.
This week marks week 3 of my last quarter at UCLA. Classes I'm taking: Psychology & Law (it's like 2 hours of Law & Order every week!), Sexual Rights (It's like 3 hours of SVU every week!), and Architecture/Urban Development History. I kind of like the batch of classes I'm taking-- everything is very interesting. Being my last quarter and all I kind of feel like I should have paid more attention before and that I might actually miss school. But not enough to make me go back for my Master's.
Today is Anton's birthday, I think he's 31. He stopped admitting his age at 30 and I *think* that was last year. We had a group dinner at Koi (finally!) and my verdict is... in terms of food, I can tell that Rod worked Koi before Yi. The dishes were underdeveloped but still quite tasty. Especially the Kobe Filet Mignon and the Spicy Tuna over Crispy Rice. I definitely like that ambience at Koi better, I think that's their winning point.
Other things going on lately-- I am in bad need of a pedicure. Haven't found a place yet that zaps my dry heels AND does a perfect long lasting french mani/pedi. I think I might try the place on Montana tomorrow.
Actually, I have a few resolutions. I've realized that I sleep too much (Sleep at 2am, get up at around 11am if I'm lucky-- hehe) so I am going to wake up earlier and get more things done. I always have a long to-do list on my cell phone and nothing ever gets done.
Here are some things I am going to do regularly:
- Clean up around the house
- Laundry
- Cook dinner
- Go to Pilates
- Pick up dry-cleaning on time
- Keep regular appointments (like mani/pedi, hair, eyebrows) rather than wait until conditions get really bad
- Go to class
- Call up a friend and have lunch or at least coffee
And one last note... am I the only person in the world without an ipod?
