Vacuuming in high heels & pearls

This is the cutest bag that was my Valentine from my dear Mom. She had her neighbor make one for me and a wee little matching bag for Miss Maren. I love the vintage Valentine fabric! The interior is lined in a red and white gingham and the bottom is the black and white polka dot. I love that it has long handles; long enough that I can hold it over my shoulder to keep my hands free to wrangle Maren. I love that it's big enough to keep a magazine in, which came in handy when I was at the eye doctor yesterday and she was running really late. It's been fun to carry something festive and I think maybe I'll just keep it around until the end of February, even though Valentine's Day is tomorrow. I'm just not ready to retire it yet. Thanks again, Mom!

I know this photo is a little out of focus but I think it's kinda neat anyway. Sweet husband had a dozen of the most gorgeous red roses sent to me and I've been enjoying them all weekend. Simply beautiful! They remind me of my wedding, where I had a perfect nosegay-style bouquet of deep red roses and we had the same red roses decorating the tables at the reception. I have a wonderful husband. Thank you, Sweetie. :)

I went in yesterday for another checkup with the eye doctor and got the go-ahead for my LASIK surgery! I have to go tomorrow to get some glasses made and start wearing them right away. Next Wednesday is my pre-op appointment and then my surgery is scheduled for Friday, March 2. I'm excited and scared about it. I'm really not looking forward to wearing glasses for 2 weeks; it's been 14 years since I last wore glasses and they are just a huge hassle. I think I'm most worried about not being able to wear sunglasses when I drive, as my eyes are very sensitive to light glare. Oh well, it will all be worth it, right? My surgery is at 2:30 in the afternoon on Friday and I have to be in at 8:45 am the next morning for a follow-up, and they said I can most likely drive myself to that appointment. That's amazing! 18 hours after having my eyes cut open and lasered, and I'll be able to see well enough to drive. I love modern medicine!
