Paint Night & LASIK

I think I may be late to the party - as usual!  The paint party that is.  I have seen so many pictures of other people doing it and it looked fun but I never really liked the picture.  Like I knew I wouldn't hang a picture of an Owl on my wall.  Until I saw this painting and had to do it... and let me say - IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!  Kara brought the wine, Jill brought fruit, I brought cheese, crackers and pepperoni and they provide the space and all the necessities.  For $35 it was well worth it and I swear I am hanging it in the dining room, when ever that gets done :)  Here are some pics:

Complete Concentration over here!!

Kara won!  Her painting was by far the best.  

They were supposed to be whispy branches, I apparently have a very heavy paint hand so I was painting straight up trees.  Hahahaha  Can't wait to do this again!!

And about these eyeballs... With Steve leaving his union in another year or so I have decided I really want to have LASIK done.  It's not that my contacts are a pain in the booty, they aren't.  I wear dailies so fresh pair every morning and I take them out and put them on my nightstand before bed.  (gross - I know)  But I don't buy solutions or anything and the contacts are free.  (well, free to me - thanks Meatball's union)  However, Readers are in ALL of our futures at some point and while the LASIK is free it would be nice to take advantage of a few years without glasses/contacts.  My eyes have gotten so bad I cant even see the alarm clock anymore and I guess at water parks I do worry about being splashed.  SO, I attended the open house and all I have to say is the valium better be strong enough to make me want to get in that chair.  I think I can do it, er I mean I am planning on it.  I have work coverage, appointments have been made, and I am suffering wearing glasses full time for 2 weeks.  But eye balls freak me out!!!  Wish me luck, big eye exam on March 1st and if all goes as planned, surgery March 3rd.  Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk.  Obnoxious sorry, eyeballs make me TWITCH.
