The Olympics and other things

Good morning everyone!!! So far my week has been really busy and slightly stressful, so I am glad it is almost over! ;) Today I just decided to do a mix up post about different things so, here it is!!

One high light of my week was that I got glasses!! I will not have to wear them all the time just when I drive, and have to read for something a long distance away. I will definitely take a picture of them when they get here! (The person said 7 to 10 business days.) I couldn't find them on the website, so I guess we will both just have to be patient! ;)

The Olympics:

Wow! So far the US has already gotten 12 medals!! They are at the lead. (medal wise)

Some of my favorite sports to watch are- Couples figure skating, Womens/Mens mogul, skiing, and snowboarding.

I was really hoping that Lindsey Jacobellis (snowboarder) would win. She had fallen down in the past olympics. Two days ago she got into the last race before the finals. She was doing really good, but then she slipped and over corrected. ;( She hit a flag and was disqualified. But I am sure she will come back in the next olympics.

I also wanted Lindsey Vonn to win. SHE DID!!! WHHOOO HOO!!

Figure Skating:

I really wanted these people to win (Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig) But the got tenth place. I think they deserved better. I thought that they did a fantastic job!

Glasses

I am very happy! I went to the eye doctor and they looked at my eyes. I did several eye tests, had drops put into my eye ETC. (No, I am not happy about that!) My eye sight isn't the best, its 20/70 on both eyes. I am going to have to get glasses, but luckily I only will need to wear them when I drive, at church, or during school. So hopefully, (after this snowstorm) I will be able to go pick out some glasses! I am not at all sad that I need them, but I am happy that I have the option of when to wear them. THANK YOU LORD!

Yep, as I mentioned briefly above, we are having a snow storm tonight. It is going to get too about 8 degrees tonight! BRRRR! We are expecting around 8 to 10 inches! That is a TON where I live. We got 5 inches earlier this year and it was incredible. I used to get excited when we got 2 inches, but 8! OH gracious. I can see a lot of hot cocoa and movies in my future! ;) I am slightly sick of cold weather, but hopefully it will be still be nice. Maybe I will even be able to skip school!! ;)

TGIF!

Today I am going to get my eyes checked. When I took drivers-ed, they checked my eyes and they said my left eye was weaker than my right. I can see close up fine, but when I am driving, I have trouble seeing signs that are far away. Hopefully I will only have to wear glasses while I drive. Its funny, my sister, Abby, had to get glasses, and until she got them, she thought that the world was always foggy, and blurry. ;)

We watched Emma last night! IT was really good. (And Mr. Knightly isn't bad!) Gwyneth Paltrow did a great job. Although she made me cringe with some of her "matchmaking" skills.

So what do you think of my new blog makeover? I was just browsing around and I saw this one and fell in love with it! Its really cute and preppy. I wish I could get my monogram in the header, but I am not really sure how to change the HTML code or whatever. If you know how, I would love some tips!

Have a wonderful Friday!
