Eyeglasses for less!

Every few years I get the urge to get new eyeglasses!

A year ago I got the ugliest glasses known to man and I think I have worn them three times. My insurance only covered certain frames and I was being a cheapie.

The good news is that there's now an online optical that offers high quality, fashionable, eyewear without costing an arm and a leg - Zenni Optical!

In fact, The Examiner gave Zenni Optical a two thumbs up.

With Margot doing all of this work on the house it'd be nice to get her a new pair glasses so that she can use her old ones on house stuff.

God knows when you rely on a single pair of glasses you are really up a creek when they get broken!

Just a few more days....

Til I go on my interview!

I am meeting with the business manager at the local real estate firm. I want to talk to her about becoming an agent. I know I have to take some classes and an exam then I think I will need to find someone to mentor me and show me the ropes.

I'd love to be up and running by December but that might be wishful thinking. Then there's all of the fees that I'm going to have to pay.

I see snow ! It's time to go!

The weather forecast reads snow showers through Thursday of this week. Not once does the temperature go above thirty-two degrees and I have not seen the sun in over a month.

Depressing?

Yes.

That's why we always try to go on a SUNNY family vacation!

This past year we went to see Alex and Dominic in California. We were able to get some beach time. However, it wasn't a "beach vacation".

I've been keeping my eyes glued to the website KarismaHotels.com. The pictures make my mouth water and for an instant I can picture myself on one of their beautiful beaches sipping my Pina Colada and swimming in their elegant pools.

They have first class gourmet dining and all-inclusive packages that can fit any budget too!

Say no more.

Take me away!

Alone. Home.

It's so quiet right now!

Emmy's sleeping after having two therapy appointments today. She's been getting so tired and typically she crashes the second the therapists walk out the door.

Lucky for me though...she's been sleeping a good two to three hours A DAY!

That gives me just enough time to update the blogs and she always wakes up right before it is time to pick up her big sister from school.

Nuttin.

I've been looking for the perfect part-time job and I'm sad to report ... there's absolutely nothing out there!

I have an interview after we close on our house with the local real estate company. I'm thinking about taking the real estate class and getting my license.

With my experience in sales and my knowledge of housing and Ithaca --- I think I could do a pretty good job.

Not to mention, I have the "IN" with the school moms!
