Ok so really...it's um 7:30am on Saturday morning and I am awake??! (Well I guess for those of you who know me well it's not THAT early, but I had really good intentions to "sleep in"). Anyway, I am up and decided to post something since it's been awhile.
I am getting ready to take a trip "over the big pond" as it's commonly called. I think now would be a good time to play a rousing game of "Where in the World is JJ?" My friends like to think I am a world traveler and that is nice of them to say, because I would like to be that. Nothing quite like traveling and getting exposed to new and different things! But it does take time and money, which I don't usually have a lot of either of them! So for those of you who do not know where I will be headed (most do because I probably have been too excited to contain myself), then you are just going to have to deal with the suspense. I am going to TRY (that being the operative word here!) to post some while I am abroad. Maybe if you get really lucky I might post some pictures (actually it's not that you will be lucky, but I just have to pick my jaw up off the ground, contain my excitement, and take time to post!). he he
In fact, the suspense is killing me not to tell you where I am headed, but that will make you come back for more (I guess?)...
So do just that, come back for more...

The Big "E"
So I am new to the blogging world (unless Xanga counts?), and of course, there is always the elusive manner in which to start off the whole sha-bang (which is a long time coming per the comments of some friends).
Well, rather than ramble about me and try to make it interesting, I will just start and you can pick up tidbits along the way if you so choose. Maybe one day when I have a couple million bloggers, I can have a contest that seeks to award those who can name something about me that was mentioned in a previous blog... we'll see how that goes?!
Today's story goes a little like this...
I have been contemplating Lasik eye surgery for some time and went for my initial evaluation this morning. I am sitting in the exam chair as the nurse begins to check my vision. I have my glasses on and she asks me what I can see on the chart. As I am telling her the ABCs, I am feeling pretty good about myself because I can see things. (I mean, I know my eyes are not great, but hey, I'm thinking they can't be THAT bad). Well then she asks me to take my glasses off... yeah right, like I can see anything now?! So you asks me, "Can you see anything?" and my reply is "Nope." This happens a second time. On the third try, business as usual, and I still can't see ANYTHING!
Then, from the other side of the room, as if in complete shock (or maybe horror?), my sister says, "You can't see that?!" and I say "No." (Thinking to myself... what's the big deal, it's just 3 rows of letters just like before...duh?!). But to my surprise, she goes on to reply, "It's the big E Jennifer!" And yes folks, as I put on my glasses, I realize that rather than the 3 fuzzy lines of letters I think I am seeing (or not seeing) it is in fact the rather large "E" on the top of the chart!!! Yeah, I thought everyone saw the big "E" on that chart (but apparently I was wrong)!
Well that's it... but more on that later!
