Holy Molies those were expensive

July 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Well hubby’s next set of glasses were el no cheap o! I knew we paid more than the two for $149.99 the last time because he had to upgrade the type of lenses but he said I was incorrect and when we got there, I was correct. Unless he wanted huge frames which he didn’t, he had to upgrade the type of lenses which added 100.00 to the price and was still best option in getting two pair verses just one. However this time we paid an extra 23.00 on one pair for warranty so if something happens to the one pair, he can get them replaced for 30.00 one time. It just means that he won’t be getting his eyes done again for two more years instead of next year is all! His glasses won’t be ready until after 4 tomorrow. So may take us a while to pay those off but gotta do what you gotta do.

I don’t understand why “both” pairs that he already has, the lenses in the exact same place started to split or crack at top of the left frame. I think the frames he chose this time are a little wider. But this time when they put the dot on the lenses of the frames he picked out and checked on this chart they had, to see which lenses he would need, I don’t remember them doing that last year, which is kinda weird that would just stick in my mind, the girl did the dotting the lens thing, measured with a measuring stick then took them and placed in a tray.

He did pick out frames that are slightly bigger than what he has now, but he would of had to pick out huge frames for the regular lenses and if you would of seen the look on his face, I knew he didn’t like them and he wouldn’t wear them. Even my son laughed when he was trying them on and that so didn’t help matters either. I could of smacked him silly!

I don’t wear bifocals, just regular glasses, have since my Navy days, and I get the two for $99. It will be 4 years since and I was hoping this year to have my eyes checked and get glasses so I may have to wait. If no change then no need for new glasses, buy my nose pads so need replaced. But if there is a change then I need to replace them, but thanks to Lynn I can try that site link she left me for the $39 glasses! Thanks Lynn! I didn’t see that until after we went for his appointment!! But this would be great for my son too and he is due soon. Great link to have!!

Hubby got a new doo!

July 1, 2009 | 1 Comment

My hubby cracks me up! He will either email me from work or text me and ask me to call his EX sister in law to make an appointment for a haircut. Of course he thinks he is special and should get a same day appointment! So I call and they are trying to “work him in” as she is booked and I am like hey if he can’t get in this week he can wait, he isn’t the President or anything I mean they didn’t have to go out of their way. I know they like to see him. We have been invited over to their house for the 4th but its kinda awkward I think. It’s just weird to go to his ex’s family homes to visit or join their parties when they have them, for me anyway, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I can tell he really wants to go, but I don’t know if I want to go! She told him that his EX won’t be there so I dunno!

So he walks in today with a new Doo on top of his head. It looks good. But my hubby has no patience for hairstyles that require maintenance. I had to go this evening to Target for some paper towels and trash bags and his breathe right strips, and picked him up some gel. She had it styled where the front was sticking up and let me tell you, he isn’t gonna do that LOL. He already has it combed straight to the front. The man is set in his ways and give it a few weeks he will part on the side and be back to using hair spray!!

Tomorrow will be semi quiet, as my daughter is taking off at 11 and won’t be home until around 9 she said. Don’t ask, don’t tell. I know she will be with her boyfriend and they are going to hang out with some of his friends.

Hubby needs new glasses, he just got two pair last year those bifocal type too, the two for I think $150 or something like that and he already has cracked and scratched the lenses up in both pairs. I keep saying to him if they are not on your face, they belong in the case! ARGH!! So we may head to the mall when he gets home to Eyemasters and get the special again. He needs them. I have had the same glasses for four years now the goofball! He says he is new at having them as his excuse. ARGH!!

Dinner and a certificate of nomination!

June 30, 2009 | 1 Comment

Today hubby’s mom and sister, oh and her hubby were over for dinner. Hubby told me at 10:00 last night that his mom was up this way and they were coming over. Good thing I had bought the roast yesterday at IGA, on sale too, I thought I get two meals from but it was just enough to feed us all tonight! My daughter had to work and doesn’t eat it anyhow! It was cool today so I even baked a cake! Wow its the end of JUNE and I baked a cake! How about that! Usually I don’t bake except in the fall and winter time! I cooked the roast in my oven roaster in the garage with baby carrots and potatoes around it! It was delish!!

So I check the mail today, and guess what arrives? A “let’s make me feel old” moment!! I received a certificate of nomination to the American Legion for my time I served in the military! LOL I kid you not I did! Hubby just thinks its the greatest thing LOL. I thought it was just something about some sort of insurance to buy oh nooooooo! Lordy be! I am NOT ready for this YET!! LOL

I remember my grandpa, my mom’s side, I never got to know my dad’s mom or dad as they passed away (his dad when he was 15 and his mom when I was 6 months old), he always use to the Legion in town where I grew up and drink! My grandparents were divorced and lived with us when we were little oh that made for FUN times, but I remember him going there and coming home corked and mean. It’s funny how this just brought that memory right to my mind. I can see him sitting in our old kitchen at the table smoking a cigarette in my mind. He had emphysema and used an inhaler until he had to have oxygen all the time and still smoked go figure, but I remember that very vividly!

He was in the Navy too! He was a cook and served during WWII. He was also a member of the VFW. So I guess in my mind I just pictured myself much older before those times would come for me to join, maybe? I dunno!

I am going to think about it. I proud that I served my country and proud of our men and women and grateful for the sacrifices they make for us each and every day!!
