Lasers and Buns

My latest consuming thought?
Laser Eye Surgery.
Yup.
I've been thinking bout it looooads lately.

Speaking of "loads"...
...random, side-note story...
I was working the other day, and I actually used the term:
"Buttload"
To a guest.
Yup.
A woman came through my line, buying a load of hot dog buns,
And I said to her, "Wow that's a buttload of buns. Ya must be having a bbq?"
I don't think I've blushed so hard in my life.
Bad time to shut the filter down at work.
Not only did I say "buttload"
But it was a "buttload" of "buns".
Anyone else see the hilarious irony?
Anywho, luckily the lady was a good sport about it.
She just laughed with me.
*Whew!*

Anywho, back to laser eye surgery.
I really really want it.
I had a good friend of mine just get it done last week.
And up until then I had never really thought about it.
But now, all I can think of is how much easier life would be if I had it.
No more fumbling for glasses as soon as I wake up.
No more dependence on contacts.
I could just have normal eyes!
How wonderful!

I would be able to see things in front of me without any help!
I wouldn't have to drive at night with dry, tired contacts.
I would need to get headaches from the ear pieces on my glasses!
I wouldn't need to worry about going in and out of different temperatures and my glasses fogging!
Or getting rained on!
Oooh life would be simpler.

But what if it goes wrong?
What if I end up blind???
Meh, I don't think the odds of that happening are too high...

Now...to find the money for it.
Hmmm.
There's always a roadblock somewhere.
Ah well, some where, some day, down the road.
Maybe.

  1. Oh Katie!
    i would have laughed with you as well at a buttload of buns haha!
    Our milk hauler got eye surgery because going in and out of the milkhouses always fogged his glasses. i'd consider getting one eye for distant viewing and one for closeup if You need it. The process has came a long way so i wouldn't worry about it going wrong.
    Happy Monday & August =)
