Just my thought

It seems these days everyone is opting for lap band surgery in an effort to lose weight. I think it's great for some people. Some individuals just simply can't lose weight with diet alone. Their metabolisms just won't allow it. Thankfully, I have a metabolism that will cooperate with me as long as I eat the way I'm supposed to eat and exercise. I don't think I could do the lap band procedure. I don't want my life to be dictated by what I can and cannot do as far as food is concerned. However I realize, some people just don't have any other options and it's necessary for their health and their life expectancy. Now I need to stop drinking this Coke I have in front of me and go for a glass of water! *sigh*

Miss is a terrible word

I am homesick. Terribly. I miss everything about home. I miss my family. I miss my boyfriend. I miss being able to go to Wal-Mart during the middle of the night. I miss being able to read the directions on a cake mix or reading the labels at the grocery store. I miss Mountain Dew and a 12 pack of Coke in the refrigerator. I miss things being in inches and miles versus centimeters and kilometers. I miss all of it and more. Sometimes I think I royally screwed up!

I've got my eyes on you...but do they see?

Let's face it. Some of us have to wear glasses whether we like it or not. It's a fact of life and a matter of seeing or walking into walls. So if I'm going to have to wear them, I at least want to look pretty trendy and fashionable. It's also NOT attractive walking into walls. I've been checking out ZenniOptical.com and I even saw Zenni on Fox. I tend to watch Fox a great deal so I wasn't surprised that I saw Zenni advertising there. But it did reaffirm that I like what they have to offer. I don't have to pay an arm and two legs to be able to afford their frames and their selection is top notch! I've already got my sights set on a few specific frames that I wouldn't mind having. Now if I could just manage to go and get an updated prescription, I'll be in business!

Baby it's cold outside!

Who would have thought that I'd have to come to the Netherlands and get an entire new wardrobe. It's nearly August and it's freezing outside. The temperatures haven't gotten above 60 degrees for the last week. I'm about to freeze my assets off, to say the least! I guess a new stylish jacket is in the forecast for my shopping future. Now let's just hope I can find something that is stylish and doesn't break the bank!
