LilacRose v1.0: This & That

This & That

Here's what's been going on with me:

I had my one week post-LASIK follow-up appointment on Friday. My doctor says I'm healing beautifully -- she says that if she didn't know I had surgery on my corneas, she'd never be able to tell. I'm still seeing 20/20. I'm no longer wearing the shields at night. They gave me a discount coupon for sunglasses from the optical store downstairs and I bought a really cool pair of sunglasses -- mirrored lenses and metal frames.

My iBook crashed again this weekend. The whole hard drive just got wiped out. I'm glad I'm obsessive about backing up -- especially when it comes to my iTunes library. I think I know what the problem is now. I think I need to get more memory added to my iBook. Right now, it has 256 MB, which is the minimum Tiger requires. But usually, to run properly, you need more than the minimum required.

My dieting has been kind of half-hearted lately. I haven't gained anything, but I haven't lost anything either. When I get back on track, I'll start posting regularly to my diet blog again. (Yeah, I know the latest post there says I'm back on the wagon -- actually I'm trying to hop up on the wagon again.)

My Mom has had problems with her blood pressure and heart palpitations lately. Any stress at all is really bad for her. Prayers for her would be welcome...thanks! :-)

I'm going to upgrade this blog to MT 3.3 in the near future. I'm also going to revise the playlist on my long neglected Live 365 station.

Ahhh, sunglasses. I remember those during my contact lenses days. One reason why I may go back to contact lenses soon. That and you can't wear glasses on roller coasters!

I think adding more memory will probably help your iBook. For what it's worth. ;)

As far as dieting, well, tomorrow is another day.

Prayers and best wishes for your mother.

As far as your LASIK is concerned, that's a great news that everythings are visible 20/20...............and you are pretty aware of the fact that adding more memory will surely help your ibook................. you should be happy that if you are'nt loosing rather not gaining too..........and our prayers and wishes are with your mother.

Thanx for sharing your personal life with us!!!

Hi Barb,

I love being able to wear real sunglasses again. I had a pair of prescription glasses that were tinted darker than regular glasses, but they were an old prescription and I rarely went to the trouble of digging through my purse, removing my regular glasses and then putting them on.

I bought a pair of BluBlockers in anticipation of my surgery and I really like them. They were sort of mid-priced as far as sunglasses go. Then they gave me a free pair to wear after my surgery, which are very dark and are pretty nice for free sunglasses. Then I got the coupon and decided to get a more expensive, dressier pair. (The mirrored lenses with metal frames.) So now I have three pairs.

I will look into the memory for my iBook. I'm desperate...I'm so tired of having to reinstall Tiger all the time.

Thank you so much for praying for my mother. There is a situation in the family that I can't really discuss that is causing her (and me) a lot of stress. Please pray that there is a resolution to this problem very soon.

Connor, thank you!

I've tagged you with a book meme. Check my blog when you're not feeling tired and harried. :( Prayers ascending for you.

Hi Barb,

I'm still tired (even after a long nap) but less harried now. Thanks for tagging me...I'll post my answers sometime this weekend. I'm already thinking of how I'm going to answer the questions. :-)

Thank you for praying for me! :-)
