...this & that...Thursday.

It's my favorite day of the week! ...this & that...Thursday

I'm leaving work a bit earlier today. Heading back to the eye doctor to have my eye's dilated. Fun stuff, right?

 

So...the eye doctor.  My retina's are fine.  Thank goodness.  The doc and I still don't know what the problem is...  Trial and error, I guess?  My eyes are constantly refocusing - like a camera.  Yes, my eyes really do this and I can feel it happening.  As a result of "this" constant refocusing, my eyes are constantly blurry.  And I do of course stare into a computer screen and continue at home.  However, we did determine that I need to move the montior further away at the office.  At home it's not really an issue.  Lab top on my lap...  So, we've got a plan.  And we will see how it goes when my new lens arrive next week.  *fingers crossed*

 

Having your eyes dilated is not fun.  Well, the dilation part isn't bad but, getting home afterwards isn't.  So, I leave and think my uber dark sunglasses from Tunisia (my "fake" Gucci's that Bern bought on our trip) will be sufficient.  NOT!  I place the dark plastic glasses, I think you call them glasses under my sunglasses!  And "presto" it is plenty dark enough for me to drive home.  However, It is imperative the visor is down and that I don't look directly into the sun.  Not a good idea, not at all.  So, I make it home.  I attempt to "be" in my apartment with the lights on and watch tv.  It's not happening.  I try and use my lab top, not happening.  I change the screen brightness - still not happening.  So, I do this...  Close blinds.  Turn of all lights.  Sit down in my chair.  Put my sunglasses ON.  I'm in heaven.  So, I watched an hour of Mr. & Mrs. Smith while wearing my sunglasses and it was absolutely perfect.  Yes, yes, I know it extremely funny.  You can laugh, I did.  And so did Bernie when he came to the door.

 

I took a few fun pictures with Bern when he came over.  A few funny ones and a few i just couldn't resist.  Let me know what you think.

 

Sorry Bern but, I couldn't resist.  I had to post it.

My dress came today!  I'm glad I ordered 2 sizes.  Size 6 wins.  Size 8 is going back to the store.  I took photos after Bern left.  Yes, I know, I should have had him wait to take the photos outside.  Pictures with my camera turn out much better outside.  Lighting is everything.  Absolutely everything.  Anyhow, I really like the dress.  I definitely need a tan.  And I'm on it this weekend.  I still have my tanning membership so, I'll be utilizing that as well.  I think I'm going to need to get a new pair of shoes though.  The cream ones don't cut it.  I'm pretty sure a 4" pair of nude patent leather are the way to go.  Gianni Bini.  Jessica Simpson.  Steve Madden.  Michael Kors (if I can find them on sale).  And I need a statement necklace.  I'm thinking coral and gold...?  Your thoughts?  Remember, accessories on a budget!  Yes, ladies and gentlemen on a budget.  So, when you are out and about and searching on line keep me in mind over the next few days.  Please send any ideas my way.  You can email me at hpranitis@yahoo.com .

I changed the picture setting to "vibrant" on my camera.  The dress is bright but, not as dull as the photos below.  I'll take better photos this weekend (with Bern's assistance this weekend).

 

Day 3 of Shakeology!  And I'm really liking it.  Thanks so much to my girlfriend, Kirsten for getting me "hooked".  I skipped cardio today due to the eye dilation.  Somehow, I didn't think cardio would be such a hot idea.  Anyhow, I'm going to start the Shakeology workout videos this weekend and lifting.  I've got a plan and I'm sticking to it.  I'm determined.  More on the plan later.

 

YUM!

 

I really need to figure out all the hype behind the book The Hunger Games.  If anyone wants to feel me in, please do.

 

I'm really looking forward to The Hangover, Part II this weekend.  Bern is hesitant in joining me because he'd rather watch it at home.  Well, me, I don't want to wait several months.  I want to be part of the excitement and laughter, now, right?  If your going to see it this weekend you know exactly what I mean.  Enough said.  I'm going to see it with or without you Bern.  But, I hope with.

 

I've seen a lot of movies lately.  And yes, I know, I need to blog ALL about them.  Some of my favorites so far have been Fast Five, Thor, and Bridesmaids.  And Thor I've seen twice.  It was fabulous and Sierra from Ocean Dreams can attest to that.  I had the pleasure seeing the movie with Sierra after a fabulous dinner of sushi.  More on this later.  And on the fabulous scene of Mr. Hemsworth that just makes you drool.  The drool factor takes place whether your female or male.  Period.  Let me know what you think...look below at the screen shot.  And you tell me.

 

On a side note the drool factor for me is not just because he's "hot and sexy" but, because I know what it takes to look like that.  About 3 years ago, I was in phenomenal shape and extremely cut.  I know what it takes.  And love the look.  I guess it is an obsession of sorts that I have.  And this helps me with me "current" goal to get back in shape and cut.  More on this later.

 

 

 

Netflix. 

 

I hope each of you have a fabulous evening and see you tomorrow for Fashion Friday and Friday's Fancies.

 

Oh, and before I forget what are every one's plans for the weekend?  Bern and I will be working on our tans.  Poolside.  I'm going to hit the gym.  And introduce Bern to Shakeology.  In addition, it's movie time.
