I’ve been a bit AWOL when it comes to this blog, so I thought I’d post an entry summarizing a few things I’ve been up to lately.
Yoga
Rita and I just finished 8 weeks of Yoga (once a week, every Tuesday). We’ve wanted to find something that we can do together on a regular basis and [...]

It is done; I have crossed the bridge. I had my LASIK procedure done on Friday and I now have a altered set of eyes.
So far everything seems to be going according to plan. At my 24-hour checkup I could see 20/20 and my eyes looked good. All is not perfect of course. I do [...]

Since booking my appointment for LASIK surgery, reading about the procedure and its possible complications/outcomes has become a minor obsession. I can’t stop learning and reading about it! These are my eyes afterall–the most important sense I have–and the last thing I want to do is do something to them without fully understanding the consequences.
Browsing [...]

After 8 years of wearing glasses and/or contacts, I am finally getting LASIK surgery done on my eyes! Ever since I started to wear glasses, LASIK has been on my mind. However, up to this point, I was not a candidate for the surgery because my prescription kept getting worse as I got older. To [...]

So I went in today for a follow-up on my wrist and it has stayed in place for now–woohoo! That means I still don’t have to get surgery :). I also got a new cast put on–fiberglass so it’s smaller and lighter. I’ll post my x-rays soon!

I have started running again. The past four years of school have really put me out of shape. Most of my time has been spent sitting around the computer or at my desk reading so I haven’t done much exercising. I have been playing basketball once a week for the past few months, which has [...]

I had my final undergraduate class on Wednesday. It was a weird feeling knowing that I’m about to complete my degree and then move on to something else. One part of me is relieved to be done while the other is a bit sad that it has come to an end. Maybe I’m just afraid [...]

Have you ever asked yourself this question? Do you ask it on a monthly/weekly/daily(!) basis? Well, I have begun to ask myself this very question and decided that I better get in-check with my finances. Since I wrote my post called 6 Reasons to Track Your Finances, well, I haven’t tracked my finances. Why? 2 [...]

I went to the library yesterday at school and I had to take out an article that was on reserve. I got it from the service counter, took it upstairs and read it. These items that are on reserve are only allowed to be booked out for 2 hours at a time. I was done [...]

How does your life rank in comparison to others? I just took a quiz through MonkeyQuiz.com that grades you on a number of life elements. You can compare your scores with statistics from over a million other people who have also taken the quiz. Not only is it fun, but it can give you a [...]

With these new things on my face, I feel much more justified in saying the word “spectacles.” No, I’m not trying to be Johnny Depp or Buddy Holly, I’m just following Rita’s orders. There comes a point in every man’s life where he realizes that, sometimes, the girlfriend has sovereignty over certain areas of his [...]

This post started off as a friendly “maybe we could try this” email to my family in hopes that I can encourage the implementation of a “No Shoes” policy in our house. The email inspired me to blog about it as well. I absolutely cringe when I see people walking in the house with shoes [...]
