The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

So that was fun. Not.
As most of you know, I underwent PRK Advanced Custom Wavefront laser eye surgery last Monday. Following that has been, in all honesty, the week from hell.
A quick [simplified] lesson in the differences between Lasik and PRK surgeries:
With Lasik, there is a flap of tissue lifted on your eye, [...]

I am so excited.
All my life I’ve been living with horrible vision, which has held me back from so many things I’ve wanted to do! When I was little I wanted to be a pilot. A fighter pilot, actually, and then a commercial pilot. Kinda need to have good eyes for that. Then of course, [...]

My Bloggy friend Betty had this up on her blog yesterday, and I thought I’d post it.
Now, it is a Valentine’s Day related Q&A, but I’m not real big on V-Day (and yes, I did have a rant post up yesterday, but quickly realized how whiny I sounded, and trashed it) so I decided [...]

Wow, that was dramatic, wasn’t it??
I had about a dozen vials of blood taken on Monday in anticipation of a visit with my doctor today. Foremost on my mind was the extreme levels of cholesterol I was harboring at the last visit, and what that could mean in the long run, given my family history [...]

Yesterday I shared a song that we recorded at our first Studio session last week. I have to tell you, that night was one of the best ever. Definitely an item that we could all cross off of our collective bucket list! ShaMoo, Knarf, John-Boy and I sang our hearts out and had a wonderful [...]

Nope, not a new meme, I just couldn’t come up with a better title.
First, the contest news!
JennyMac is one of the best bloggers out there – I enjoy her so much. I don’t usually need much prompting to extol the many virtues of this brilliant, vibrant gal, and today is no different – its [...]

Actually, I can’t. I’m what you might call blind as a bat.
Myopia (near sightedness) with astigmatism (irregular shaped cornea) runs in my family on my mother’s side – every woman, and some of the menfolk, too, have extremely poor vision. I am no exception, so when I was about 9 years old, I got [...]

I’ve been asked a lot recently about who the folks I talk about on my blog actually are. I’m sure some of you wonder what the heck I’m up to sometimes, too.
It can get a bit tedious (for you as well as me) to explain relationships every time I mention someone, so to that [...]

I was visiting Thom’s place this morning as I was doing my morning reading and he was talking about “Phobias”.
Like many people, I have a fear of heights. Mine is a modified fear though – I’m only afraid if there’s a chance I’m going to fall. I have no problems flying and being up [...]

Recently I organized a fundraiser for our larger choral group, which took place last night. That I didn’t have a camera on me will forever have me mentally kicking myself!!
I haven’t put together too many fundraisers before, all by my lonesome. Ok, I confess; this was the first one. The opportunity just hadn’t presented [...]

Sitting here mulling things over today. I don’t feel like posting in great detail about the things that are bothering me, but maybe a wish list will suffice.
I wish…
…that we lived in simpler times
…that ShaMoo didn’t have so many things to worry about with her babies
…that true happiness was within my reach
…that I didn’t [...]

Thom tagged me with this Lucky Chinese Tag called “Eminent Eights”, so I guess I need to step up and do it!

Here goes:
8 TV shows I like to watch: (I don’t watch a lot of TV. Hrm.)

Heroes
Chuck
House
Breakfast Television (Toronto)
Little Mosque on the Prairie (shocker, eh?)
Anything Star Trek related

My name is Jenn, and… I’m an addict. It’s pretty serious. Not quite sure what to do.
I mean… the fact that it’s going to be another several days before the group gets together to rehearse again is making me positively weak with frustration!
What’s wrong with me? Surely I have a life, and can fill my [...]

So, I didn’t sleep last night. Anyone who stops by here often enough knows that isn’t something new for me. So be it.
I had a great evening though – the four of us had a very successful first rehearsal with our new music (all wonderful love songs) as we gear up for the wedding (and [...]

There will always be things you don’t know about me… but I’ll share a fun secret with you today.
The Teen and I love shooting things.
It’s true. Are you shocked?

We spent a fun but frigid morning shooting cans and targets in the back yard while the Hubbie watched from the office window and stayed [...]

My throat was a bit sore today, so instead of joining my comrades in a caroling gig the large group had scheduled (they can do without me for this!!) I decided today was the day the tree would go up. I did wait until the Hubby went to work though – he gets all huffy [...]

Last year my family sat around, dazed, as we opened our Christmas gifts.

At first, the kids were really into it, and tore in with great enthusiasm. Then a strange thing happened… the excitement waned, the piles of torn paper and discarded gift bags grew, and presents were barely glanced at as they were revealed, and [...]

I’m in a bit of a Zen place right now. Trying hard to hold onto the peaceful calm that settled over me while we were on vacation, soaking up the rays on the beach in Florida. I know if I give in and really “get back to it” that my stress levels will jump again, [...]
