Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

1. In my opinion, there aren't many things more stressful than getting an eye exam.

 "What is better 1 or 2, 3 or 4?"

Oh my gosh, I don't know!

I get so nervous when I go through this exam. What if I say the wrong number? I'll screw up everything. My prescription didn't change too much. My right eye is a little bit worse and my left eye is a bit more astigmatism-ey. But I did get to order new glasses! I picked them from the grandpa rack, but I think they look great!

2. Why do grocery stores insist on stocking so many types of toilet paper? I get so overwhelmed standing in front of all the billion types of toilet paper varieties. And of course I can never remember which kind I bought last time.




3. Last night was the first time I tried dying my hair myself. I donned the rubber gloves, mixed jar 1 with jar 2, and went to town. I kept reading the directions to make sure I had done everything right. It said mix stuff, put on hair, rinse out. So I jumped in the shower (and proceeded to get my entire shower curtain purple in the process). After drying my hair I realized that all the way to the right of the directions was a sentence that said "leave in for 25 minutes." Well shoot! I guess I'll be dying my hair again next week.





4. We're supposed to get 15 inches of snow this week. I was born and raised in Alaska, but no matter how much snow we get, I will just never get used to it. 




Everyone keeps asking me "being from Alaska, you must be used to this, right?" No, it's still cold.

  2. Regarding the eye exam, you should go to YouTube and look up Brian Regan and his bit on going to the eye doctor. Hilarious. Ironically, I watched it the night before my eye exam and I was cracking up during my appt. It was a little awkward but I explained to the doc why I was laughing.

    We are supposed to get a lot of snow, too, this week.

    AND, an email is coming to you today. So sorry for the delay.

  4. Haha, I agree with the toilet paper! Shampoo is the same way - I just stand there for forever until I finally just grab something...

  5. I love your comment about getting used to snow. I just moved from Colorado to San Antonio, TX and everytime it is cold people say, "Colorado girl, you must be used to this". I respond with, "No, I just know how to dress"

  8. Oh no, the hair dye! lol I'm a pro at that. When you get in the shower to rinse next time sit down. Rinse sitting for a couple minutes before you stand up. Totally minimizes the mess! Was that TMI? :)

  9. i didn't know that about alaska, how neat. eye exams are very stress inducing! i feel bad making the dr. go back and forth, but i can't TELL the difference between the options sometimes!

  10. The Alaska thing...yeah, my sentiments exactly. I mean, I can't tolerate heat very well...but that doesn't mean I like freezing cold temperatures either. I'm human, after all. Not a polar bear :)

  11. Hilarious! I do the same thing at the eye doctor! Sometimes they have to show it to me a few times. And then I say, "Two?" like the doctor's gonna tell me if that's the right answer.

  12. I must say, the doggie with the eye exam reminds me of Tock the Watch Dog from Phantom Toll Booth!! And yes, I always get overwhelmed by the toilet paper and tissue paper too, I've stopped buying paper towel already....

  14. Oh I get so nervous during my eye exams too. Everything begins to look the same after a while. I try and buy my TP at Costco. I love the Kirkland brand. Otherwise, I buy what's on sale, but it has to be a brand name and 2 Ply! Sorry your dye didn't work out too well. Love your pictures!
