Updates: Cause you know you want them

Number of butter cookies consumed over the weekend: 0 (I want a star for that)

Episodes of Monk I watched yesterday because I didn't feel well (darned sinus pressure) and for some reason they made me happy: 4

Pairs of pants I ironed instead of taking them to my clothes-shredding drycleaners: 4

Number of cats that have allergies, require their own brush, a steroid shot and an $88 vet visit along with the replacement of our furnace filter with a special allergen version costing $10 instead of $3.33: 1 (a very cute, very fat orange cat)

Number of times I cursed snow-fearing drivers on my way to work: 0 ('cause it was a little slick)

Number of doctor appointments for Chez Ragged inhabitants this week: 2 (eye doctor visit for me, vet visit for Ike)

Number of Chez Ragged inhabitants getting new glasses for the first time in six years: 1 (Me! Me! Me!)

Pairs of glasses I will try on before choosing one that I end up hating: 37

ohmylanta! i just got new glasses 4 weeks ago too! I haven't gotten new glasses in almost 10 years, it was wonderful! and i tried on at least 35 pair, too. i think i drove the poor eye assistant guy crazy but i figured i'm not the only one who does that.

New glasses are always such a great opportunity for change! Just don't worry about the eye assistant guy...I'm sure he's used to it. After all, it's a huge decision, and it happens so infrequently.

I wish I had the money to choose about five different kinds so I could trade out with my moods!
