Quick Update

So, today I got the pleasure of having my eyes dilated... For those of you that haven't had the pleasure, it's kinda like someone taking your contacts out and telling you to go about your business. I managed to get myself into work after the appointment and sat down in front of my computer, however, I couldn't read a thing on the screen! Thoroughly frustrated at the prospect of wasting a vacation day, I finally started to recover some of my vision. Currently, I'm still a little squinty, but overall, not too bad. My eyes look super crazy since they are already so big!

The whole point of the process was to determine that I truely have optic neuritis (blurry vision with dimished red color saturation) caused by my MS and not a retinal problem from one of my Crohn's meds. Well, all is good and the optic neuritis will just have to go away on its own. Great news, since the Crohn's cocktail I am on really seems to be working.

Wasting Time

So, I bet you are wondering why I am blogging at 5:24pm? Well, maybe not, but hey... Usually, I would be on my way home from work, however, tonight as I was getting out of my car to scrape off the ice, I shut the door.... which was locked. After numerous attempts to get ahold of Matt, he is finally on his way. I never thought I would be upset that he was vacuuming! Hopefully the car doesn't run out of gas while it's sitting outside the building running... Geez, what a crappy week. Combined with my ever so graceful tumble into the pavement on Tuesday night, I can honestly say, I cannot wait until the weekend it here! We look forward to taking it easy (and sleeping well knowing Sam is in the states!). So, I guess I will surf the net for another 15 minutes before Matt shows up. Talk to you later....

Countdown to Spring

So, here we are, more than halfway through February... Today started as a nice and sunny day, then a couple hours later, there was snow falling... And now, the sun is shining and the wind is blowing like crazy. I can't tell you how ready I am for Spring!

Matt and I did some pre-Spring cleaning this weekend and made a list of projects that need to be done when the weather finally turns. We are really looking forward to making some improvements to the house, however, it all takes money and time. Two very valuable commodities. Our federal tax return went towards taxes on my new car, but hopefully, we will get a healthy check from Uncle Sam once those additional tax breaks are processed. Matt wants to throw it at our new car loan, but I wouldn't mind a dining room set finally or even a new bathtub. (I'm a little tired of cleaning the barely glazed porcelain.)

Other than that, we went to meet little miss Shelby Anne (since I had not yet had the privilege). I took some cute pics, but left my import cable at home. I will upload them later. Well, I guess that is all for now. I've been swamped at work lately, so I guess I will cut this short and try to get caught up... If that is ever possible...

Excuses, excuses....

I know I haven't been the best at keeping up lately and honestly, I don't know where the last month went! Best I can figure, we were really busy in January, then I was sick, then there were babies! Finally recovering from what I think was the flu, I hope to get back on track with the everyday stuff...

New Skills

Last weekend we went to the Cruisin Bar to see Adam's new MN band play their first out of town gig. It was great to see him and others I haven't see in forever... In the past, I had always taken pics of the shows and having destroyed my 35mm manual camera previously, I found the digital camera wasn't particularly well suited for the low lighting of a club. So, I improvised and hopefully this will work! No sound, but still kinda fun....
