I just found out I get to go to the Bahamas next year! I'm very excited. It will be the first time I have left the country. Plus... it's the Bahamas! A few fun facts I have already gathered. They accept US money and there's no exchange rate (which is good right now) but they drive on the other side of the road! And, get this, they have left-side vehicles like the US. But drive on the other side of the road. Crazy! It's like everyone's a postman over there! We'll be staying at a new resort called "Atlantis." The picture was taken by another Flickr member, so if you click it you will see more photos of Atlantis, but I didn't take them.

Lasik didn't kill me. Yea!
Okay, so I have wanted Lasik for about 10 years now and finally had it done. And, you know what, it wasn't so bad. For sure not the horrible torture that I had in my head. I was actually more okay with the cutting part than the vision correction part, and I think most people are the other way around. With the cutting part they put this suction thing on my eye and I lost all vision. If you can get past that... it's all good because you can't see or feel anything (or smell anything for that matter). The second part was really freaky to me. While it was probably more comfortable than the cutting (no suction thing) I could see everything they were doing (more or less) plus the laser smelled like... burning flesh? I don't know what that really smells like I guess, but they assured me it was only the laser smell and not anything they were doing to me. Good enough, I said. It's only been a couple of days and I'm not 100%, but they said it will keep getting better. I plan on writing a full review of the whole experience at some point. It would have helped me if I could have found even one review of the place I had it done at.
New Family Photos
I've posted about 50 "new-old" family pictures over at Flickr, including this one of Mama Lee with Tracy and Shelly in September of 1969. You'd think I'd be nearing the end of these, but no... that would be incorrect.
Steve & Sally's Wedding
I've posted a few photos (mostly of which I stole off myspace) of Steve & Sally's wedding, etc. There should be some more added later on.

You're stuck on an elevator with the person you fell the hardest for, what happens?
I think it would go something like this. First, there would be some waiting. Then one of us would press the emergency alarm and try the phone. No one would answer the phone, bc I don't think those things really work anyway. So there would be some more waiting. Then I would stand on their shoulders and open the access panel. I would peer up into the elevator shaft and see a ticking bomb! It would explode and the elevator car would rush us toward certain death! There would be screaming. Then the emergency break would catch. We would break a sigh of relief, but it would be in vain because another bomb would explode the emergency break and we would again be rushed toward sudden death! More screaming. Then the certain death.
Why, what did you think would happen?
The celebrity you love the most offers to marry you, as long as you don't talk to any of your current friends or family members anymore, do you marry them?
Doesn't sound advisable.
