The Start of February

I simply can't wear my Chantelle bra anymore =(.  It is too big.  I just washed it and it is hanging up to dry.  Once done, I will retire it from service.  Which means I'm going to have to start wearing my Valentine's Day bra before Valentine's.

Two things I forgot to put on my list for this month were replacing my yoga pants and getting some new socks.  My current yoga pants are falling off.  I went to Walmart and picked up 3 new pairs.  They are not the greatest but since I only wear them around the house, that is okay.  I didn't try them on in the store as there was no one to open the dressing rooms so one pair doesn't fit.  It is a XS but I was thinking I could wear it.  Can't get it over my butt.  So, I'm debating if I want to take it back or just keep it until I can wear it.  The question is, will I ever get that small?

I received some hiking socks for Christmas.  Hiking socks are not cheap, ranging from 12 to 20 dollars for a pair.   But I became quite love enamored with them.  So, when I realized that my current collection of socks was getting low and the ones remaining were showing signs of their age, I decided to replace them with hiking socks.  Not a cheap investment, but I hope a good one.  After some searching around, I managed to find the socks I wanted at the cheapest price of 10.70 a pair.   Shipping was $3 but didn't go up as I added more pairs.  I ended up purchasing 4 pairs to go with the one I already have.  If they hold up, I'll get a few more.  I usually wear about 7 or 8 pairs of socks in a week.

I went to the Eye doctor today and got contacts.  I thought they wouldn't cost me anything but it was $40 for a contact fitting fee and a one time training session fee of $25.  Plus, my insurance only covers 1/2 year worth of contacts.  So, I'll have the pay the other half out of pocket.

I am liking the soft contacts because I can't feel them, unlike hard contact lenses.  However, the contacts don't correct my astigmatism.  I have the opposite trouble with these contacts that I had with the hard ones.  These are easy to put in but hard to take out. 

I am worried about how the contacts are going to work out.  My version is fuzzy with the contacts.  I'll need to give it a few days to see if I adjust.   I'm also worried about learning to take them out without a lot of hassle.  My eyes usually adjust slowly.  It took me a few days to get use to my new glasses.  I went ahead and got 1/2 years worth of contacts.  If I like them, I'll buy more but if not, no money lost because my insurance covered the ones I did order.

I got them to see if I think I look better with or without glasses.  My first thought was that my face looks very fat and big without glasses and it didn't look good.  But once I put some eye makeup on, which is needed without the glasses, I'm slowly thinking maybe I do look better without them.  Or, it could be, it is just different and it will take time to tell.

I got my I POD charger which didn't work.  It would cost more to return it then just throw it away so that is what I plan to do.  I ordered another one from someplace else.  This one works!  I also finally ordered a HDMI cable.  I fixed my PS3 (the picture is so much better with a HDMI cable) and now my Wii is hooked back up again.  Yay, for checking things off my list.
