i am impressed and amazed at how clear the world is. my new peepers are doing great after my LASIK procedure on thursday. i love it. i am so glad that i finally bit the bullet and had it done! i found out that i have very tiny eyes, but very large tear ducts. the surgery was a total trip. i am not sure i can even explain it at all. just so weird. the only side effect i have is a little bit of dry eye, but not as bad as i was warned about. i have no night halos or glare or anything like that.
today was already a banner day for me. i have been thinking about starting to run for a while, probably years, but never had the motivation to actually start. i love to work out, especially cardio, but i will do ANYTHING, except run. dh started running last week on the trail near our house. so i decided after my LASIK that i would give running a try. so, today, i did it. i ran...and it wasn't as bad as i thought. and i ran farther than i thought too. i am sure it helps that i do an average of about 4 miles a day on the elliptical trainer or stair master. so, i think i will try to stick with the plan. it was a nice surprise that runners magazine this month has special beginners guide. i will use that workout plan for now. anyhoo, i am excited for myself. maybe this girl will be a runner someday.
this weekend is full of celebrations. last night, my coworker had a housewarming/welcome new baby party. it was my first persian party. and they LOVE to party. there was great food, live music, and lots of dancing. and their new baby daughter is so adorable. i am sure she will be quite beautiful when she grows up.
today we are also celebrating my sister's birthday. she turned 31 yesterday. my aunt, uncle, dh, and i are taking her to a nice restaurant in los gatos. should be a nice evening. before that i have to get to the mall and find her a present. not an easy task. hmmm....
no word on new zealand yet. but we are still packing up our house and getting ready to go. we can't wait. it is pretty awesome when you can really live one of your dreams.
we are feverishly planning our summer out since our weekends are limited. there are so many people that we want to visit before we go. dh wants us to take a trip with his parents. of course we will be seeing my parents and grandma a couple times before we go. he wants to go to washington to see his grandparents as well. i decided i am not going to germany this summer with dh since it will be expensive, and the plans illogical. i am bummed i won't get to see our friends too. however, i will probably go and spend some qt with my best friend in seattle. i think out of everyone, i will miss her the most. she is the one person i talk with everyday, and we are just so close. it is gonna be hard on us to not be able to to chit chat on a daily basis. i think we will be fine, and we will work something out.
work has slowed down for me a bit. the last couple weekends, i have been off for 3 days. that has been nice. i have just been enjoying the nice weather and slowly doing stuff around the house.
oh, i totally forgot to mention a highlight of this weekend. on friday, dh and some of his coworkers were at a conference up in san francisco. so, i went to the city too. dh and i ended up in hayes valley, and it was such a gorgeous day....we had our mediterranean lunch by the window of this little cute cafe, then sat in the sunshine at the park across the street. when the peeps were done with the conference, we all met up at this little wine/beer cafe with a lovely patio outside. we sat out there for at least 4 hours before meeting up at one of our friend's restaurant for dinner. it was such a nice day. i haven't had such a great day in sf for a while!
anyhoo, enough babble...on to my errands.
p.s. i am credit card debt free now! last payment made in full on monday! hip hip hooray!
