Hello Monday....

Monday's just drag for me and this one didn't disappoint. Thankfully Ben got me some Zyrtec D at lunch and by about 3pm I was finally feeling like I might be able to function. Guess my allergies are dragging me down. Ben was feeling "allergic" today as well. Thankfully Bean seemed to have a good day and be in good spirits!

We were back in Eklton this weekend. Ben left early Saturday morning so he could go to a hunting expo in Greenville and then I headed down in the afternoon after I FINALLY GOT OUR GUEST BATHROOM PAINTED!!! We were celebrating Susan's 26th birthday and of course harvest was still going on, so Ben spent the weekend helping dad.

I'm sure by now most of you have seen her roll over video, but if not click HERE to see. We had cupcakes and mom's chocolate ice cream and Susan's favorite, Chicken Pot Pie for dinner.

Sunday Ben spent in the field and I stuck around until about 2:30, after a quick trek to the same eye doctor's office that saw me after "the wedding contact episode." For those who may not know that story or want a refresher, I'll be brief.

I wear contacts, blind as a bat. The night of our wedding Ben and I had our own cabin at Kentucky Lake Resort before we flew out on Sunday around 5pm for our Honeymoon. Our whole family was there at the resort as well. I realize I left my contact solution and contact case in Mom and Dad's cabin so my sister brings me some solution and I dump both contacts in a glass (they were the same prescription then) and stick them by the sink for the next morning.

I don't remember but Ben got up in the middle of the night thirsty, in his sleep induced state, saw the glass by the sink, filled it up with water and drank it down.

The next morning I get up and quickly realize that my contacts are no longer in that glass, nor is anything, it's empty. As I'm looking around at the glass puzzled Ben asks what's wrong....so I tell him about putting my contacts in there last night and now they are gone. Then he gets that blank look and tells me about getting up in the night. Yep, Ben drank my contacts.

It wouldn't have been to big of a deal if I actually had an extra pair, but nope, that was the last ones and my eye doctor was in North Carolina where I had just moved from 3 months before.....

So, Mom called Walmart's eye center, who couldn't fit me in and then called the Dr at Lenscrafters in the Clarksville mall. They could squeeze me in for a quick exam. Thankfully I had my glasses or I would have been in bad shape!! I really can't remember now if they didn't have any in my prescription in but I know I was still in my glasses on the plane. I think they had to overnight some to me in Vegas. Either way I had them quickly and I was saved from having to wear my glasses my entire honeymoon!!

So, yet again, another eye emergency on a Sunday which meant a trip to the mall. I noticed blood in the top of my eye. Looked gross, didn't hurt, wasn't effecting my vision but did kinda of freak me out. I figured it was probably just a blood vessel that burst, but since I'd never had that before, I figured I should get it checked out just in case.

Yep, that was it, he had some fancy name for it, but basically it looks horrible but is no big deal. I did call my Ophthalmologist today to confirm, but yep, nothing I can do and it's probably going to show up in the rest of my eye before it gets better. Nice. Grosses Ben out, LOL!

I set up my Strollometer this weekend. For the most part I really like it. You can read more about my set up and experience this weekend with it HERE. I think I need to tweak it's accuracy on distance, but I think I know how to do that.

Our neighbors probably think we've lost our mind, not that we care. It's that time of year where Ben want's to "get in shape" for hunting season. Which starts this coming weekend by the way....he really plans ahead, LOL! So he decided in order to get used to walking in the woods with his deer stand on his back, we would walk together in the evening, on the road, where everyone driving by can see us. So, just picture me and Mallory in BOB, nothing odd there, with Ben walking behind us with the large metal thing strapped to his back....I'm sure we got some strange looks this evening and I'm sure we will get more, but he's got to get in shape!!

So, that's our humor for now....don't forget, if you want a free 8X8 hard back photo book, I've put one together on her shutterfly page, you can just order the one I put together. The code is in the post from Thursday.

Here's a few pictures from this weekend and where I was playing around with photo shop.
