Seeing Eye to Eye #12

This horse is ready to run…

If the worse thing I have to tackle is to sit still… I got it made!

I got up this morning fully prepared to dismantle all of the rest of my Auto Pilots and Eye to Eye posts that had been in place. I want to be back on board so bad that my fingers are itching. It is taking all of my resolve to let them play out and finish resting.

I guess it is somewhat like a kid with a brand new toy that he’d been anxiously awaiting. I have two brand new eyes and I WANT TO USE EM!!!

Sorry… that’s the coffee talking!

Today my Chica is stealing me away from my hobbit hole… time with either of my sweet friends is always welcomed. Maybe homemade soup and bread bowls are just what the doctor ordered to keep my fingers off the keyboard for another day.

Here, I’ll share…

They Call Me Cry Baby…

What could you do less of?
View all responses

Sure, for a baby it’s ok to cry when they’re hungry or poopy, but when I do it, everyone at WalMart walks the other way… what’s up with that?

Anybody associated with me knows a few things of certainty about this girl… I got a mouth on me, and I cry… alot! Not sorry though!

I am definitely a very affectionate and tender hearted Wolverine/Loud Mouth Frog! Here is the problem with this… it gets uncomfortable to be around someone who is always leaking from their eyes.

If I could do less of something it would be all the blubbering… not the crying, just all the outward leaking. I love who I am, love my emotion and my passion! I think that maybe I just need like a Cry Baby Bodyguard.

It would be awful nice to have another nearby at all times, with tissue in hand, and a resting ***** face that might sober my boo hooing at any given moment.

Besides, the question only asked what I COULD do less of… not what I WILL do less of… I think it would actually take away from who I am.

I don’t wish to be devoid of emotions God placed within this vessel upon my creation… I need to learn to use them for His purposes! This teary side of me is one of the most beautiful gifts I could have been given.

I can feel… I can heal… I can care… I can share… I can forgive… I can love… and I can Live!

I guess your just stuck with me as I am!

What are the odds that I could have cataract surgery WITHOUT the lasik assist, and still come out sporting 20/20 vision in both eyes? Whatever the odds were… God beat em!

When they did my post op yesterday, I scored perfect vision in under 24 hours from surgery! While I am still sore, quite sensitive to lights, and continuing to adjust to using both eyes at the same time… I am sitting here writing to you without any glasses at all!

What’s your favorite cartoon?
View all responses

Quite honestly, there isn’t a single cartoon of late that I would take the time to watch.

Were I to think of any cartoon worth mentioning, it would have to come from the past… that’s where all the good shows are! I have to admit that I would even prefer to return to the 60’s commercials… at least I wasn’t offended by most of them!

I even miss the comics on the back of cereal boxes or jokes inside the box of Cracker Jacks! Remember the little tattoos inside the Bazooka Bubble Gum?

Maybe it isn’t the cartoon at all that I fondly remember as my fav, but rather, sitting in my pajamas on a Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal… half watching the cartoon and half reading the puzzle on the back of my cereal box.

I loved Bugs Bunny, obviously, but my favorites might have been Johnny Quest, The Wonder Twins and Scooby Doo. I did really enjoy watching Granny try to wrangle Sylvester, Tweetie, and Hector the Bulldog. Let’s face it… there are too many awesome cartoon characters for me to remember.

Too bad the prompt question didn’t ask what my favorite cartoon time was… I could have saved us all a lot of time and just said CHILDHOOD!

She’s alive!

We can all use this picture to visualize me coming back online. I need it just as much as you… my eye hurts!

I had planned for this picture to represent a new beginning, and it does… just a bit slower than I want. Now that the surgeries are done, I want to be out on the trail again but have to be more patient with my own recovery. I’m super sensitive to light and this eye is more painful than the other one was, for some reason. I want to be up and at em, but it’s not even been 24 hours since my procedure, so maybe I should cut myself some slack.

This process has been such an amazing experience, blended with cabin fever, boredom and frustration at having to sideline my study time and writing… not to mention having to hold off on my trail walks.

I am grateful to announce that I was NOT sporting any unsightly facial hairs or growths, that I’m aware of… thank you Lord for these small favors! My hair, on the other hand, is hideous! My sweet friend is taking me to get it cut and colored for my birthday, and I am seriously considering cutting most of it off and changing my color completely. It is only hair… and it will grow back, so why not?!

New Year… New Look!

Maybe I should do a short cut like this one…

Here are some color ideas…

Whatever I choose to do will be in the F U N Department!!!

If you had an opportunity to do your hair any way you wish that is different from your usual, what would it be?

Go big or go home I suppose…

If I come out of surgery looking like this, you all have to pretend that I look perfectly normal. If you are having trouble not staring at my eyes, just focus on the fact that I have only one nostril… it’ll be much easier that way.
