I broke my glasses yesterday. BOOOOO no vision on my health coverage. Or should i say BOOO me for not adding the vision part to my health coverage.
I gotta run to work early and stop off at walmart's vision center and just see if they will sell me some frames for my lenses. i did that last time from sear's optical center.
i'm not impressed with spending extra cabbage this close to FL.

Schedule of EVENTSCategory: good times
Lets see... times comin for some fun!
Friday we are going to the Toronto Zoo. My aunt and cousin were going to come with us, but apparently not.
My parents are coming up to visit my grandparents that day as well. Haven't gotten to see them for a while, so Saturday after work I'm headin directly up to see them. Probably spend the night at my grams and come back sunday afternoon.
Lauren has about 200 scribbles on her calendar for the monday through thursday of that week - all those scribbles being final this due, rough this due, presentation this, etc. In other words, don't talk to her or she may flip her lid.
The 24th is our 3 year anniversary. (3 years? that seems like such a short period of time, and yet neither of us have ever made it this long!) I feel like we've been together forever.
the 26th is the next Battle at Buffalo.
the 1st is Avenue Q at Sheas.
THe 2nd we somehow make it to the airport at 4 am and head to Florida.
WHEW~! what a busy time of year?
Oh and then when we get back we GET A PUPPY!!!

I keep forgetting to get tickets to Avenue Q I here it is pretty good. Maybe the being broke thing is what is holding me up you sound like you both are staying very busy.

SmokeSometimes it blows my mind that I quit smoking.
Today I held the cigarette of a coworker while he was with a customer. It wasn't lit or anything, but it felt very natural in my hand. I think about the act of smoking, and of course it came right back to the social thing. Smoking was always a social thing.
Weird. Somehow I quit cold turkey after like 10 years without any desire. Except when I am drunk.

oh tiny, if you have ever been to one of my family events, you would know that if there was a genetic disposition to being addicted to smoking, it would run in my family!

I've found it's a lot easier to not smoke now that you cant smoke in bars.
Congrats on the just saying no to lung cancer!

Day Off.Day OFF! I also have Friday and Sunday off.
Woke up at 10:30! Wow that is a great feelin- waking up late..
Chatting now with my brother whose Golden Retriever is in the middle of having puppies. He is doing the reporting while his wife is helping with the delivery. I was hoping that she would pop out a random dachshund for me, but I somehow don't see that happenin.
Snap Pea Crisps are so delicious, but something tells me that they are extremely bad for you.
My big plans for the day? carmelizing onions, roasting some garlic and making a big crazy pasta salad with it all. we will see how that works out... i have a feeling I may be getting a bit silly.
Watched Sweeney Todd last night. Wow gore. I knew it was (tim burton and all) but man.. Burning flesh is disturbing. I was also amused to see that three characters from the Harry Potter movies were in this movie. Bellatrix LeStrange, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape. I don't know their real names.
Anyway, I should be off to some cookin for my woman. She is soooo spoiled.

hey i didn't know she was dating tim burton! good to know! what is johnny depp's excuse then? hehe
and the strange thing is that the blood that is involved in sweeny todd almost seems more jarring because, musical and all, you don't expect it to be as bloody... the first throat slashing experience you almost think... well they aren't going to be too graphic... and then... well they are...

Helena Bonham Carter is a Tim Burton standard because he is her fuck du jour. She has a reputation for being a bit of a husband stealer.... i think Tim Burton is her 2nd or 3rd man who was married when they met and started to date right at about the time he decided to get divorce. Coincidence? Perhaps.
As an actress, i like her, though... with Johnny Depp, aka Mr Pretty, i cannot imagine anything but fun! I thought she was brilliant in a small Canadian film called Margret's Museum -- tres creepy.
The only thing that is stopping me from seeing Sweeney Todd is the blood... i can't take it!! My friend, Mark, says it isn't bad, but he likes slasher films and mob movies. How am i supposed to trust HIS judgement?

helena bonham carter played both mrs. lovett in sweeney todd as well as bellatrix lestrange in harry potter. And as i look her up in Imdb, I realize that she, like johnny depp, are often in Tim Burton's movies (corpse bride, charlie and chocolate factory, Big Fish, Planet of the apes... etc... Shes my hero..
Oh and Timothy Spall is beadle/pettigrew. he creeps me out.

protestsi am so very excited for the lovely weather, even if i know that it will be all overwith in a few days. weird ass buffalo ups and downs in weather has been craaazyyy...
I've been taking note of the fact that there are all these demonstrations and protests against the beijing olympics. good for them! It really is amazing to think that all so far both london and paris have had protests against them, and have tried to extinguish the torch. countries pulling together! i wonder what will happen when they make their way to san francisco? that will be interesting to see.... I do intend on boycotting watching the olympics myself, which is very sad for me since i love me some olympics.
im at work and its a crappy crappy day. losing money left and right. grrr... and off i go to find me some lunch.

but by boycotting the olympics who are you punishing, the chinese government or the athletes who've worked so hard for so many years? or do they not care if people watch?
do you know if there are any athletes who refused to participate in the olympics once they found out it was going to be hosted by china?

well after i find out that the frames they have wouldn't fit my glasses....
SUPER GLUE CAME TO THE RESCUE!
I figured out that my employer's vision plan costs about $215/year and covers: all but $10 towards eye exam once/yr (in-network of course), and either $180 towards frames/lenses or $150 towards contacts. So really it isn't worth spending the money! If I were to get an exam every year I might break even with it. I don't know if it covers anything else like say I got a stick stuck in my eye....would that then be considered health insurance coverage?
ick. Hope the finagling goes well.
