Well, the weekend is over and all in all it was a pretty good weekend. My mother-in-law came in this weekend for mothers day and it was pretty good. She got to see her new grand baby and helped out.
We went to the Farmers Market and then went to The Flying Fish for lunch on Saturday along with the Discovery Museum for Megan. It was pretty fun. I am looking forward to next weekend, as I am ready to eat some crawfish. As some of you don't know I have started a yearly tradition here in Little Rock, AR. I have a crawfish boil every year. It started last year as a house warming party, but I want to do it ever year for a party for friends and family to come visit and just have a good time.
Just to give out a link to another blog that I read, Slashfood. There is a good article on Souther Sweet Tea for anyone that is not southern, it is a good read on some good tea.
Later.

The Doctor's office
I went to the doctor's office last week to get some new contacts and to get a new pair of glasses, now a week later I have my glasses. I decided to get a good pair of glasses that would make me wear them more, so I got some nice Nike glasses that are a flex frame (bend easily) with some clip on polarized shades. I spent some money on them, knowing that I want to wear them more than I have in the past.
So now that I have them, they feel weird. I feel myself working to focus when I look at different things. Typing this post, is relative easy on my eyes because I am not having to refocus, but if I look away, say the tv about 30 feet from me, I have to readjust my eyes and it hurts my eyes and head some.
After playing with my glasses, I decide to go back to the doctor thinking that that maybe my percription was wrong on my glasses because I did not have to strain with my old glasses and my new contacts were fine also.
So now back from the doctors office, it seems that I astigmatism in my left eye. For anyone that does not know what astigmatism is to put it simply it is when the human eye is not shaped correctly. Typically the human eye is round like a marble, but with an astigmatism, the human eye is curved, less round and more oval. About 30% of humans have astigmatism but most never notice it.
I am now going to try out my glasses for a few weeks to see if I still strain while looking at things and if my head still hurts. If it continues to hurt after a few weeks, I will go back in for a recheck.
So now you know you know about my trip to the doctors office and that I have an astigmatism.

New Pics...
Well, I know it has taken some time, but here are some pics of Megan and Mason. Not much going on here other than the baby.
I stoped playing WoW, so don't expect to see much WoW talk. I really don't expect to start back up. My focus has changed since moving to LR, more family and less computer. What I really need to do is get back into Linux/Unix for hobby use.
Ever since getting married, my focus has changed and now with a job shift I need to get back to what i enjoy, learning new things.
As I mentioned before, here are the pis of Megan and Mason...

Its been awhile
Well, I am back to updating my blog.
Well, April 17 is the date that we will have a new addition to our family. We went to a Big brother big sister meeting at the hospital the other day and it was pretty good. I did not get one thing though. Get this... It cost $12 for the class, in which they teach the sibling about the new addition to the family, pretty good imo. They sell a shirt at the end of the class but give out a beanie baby. They should forget about the beanie baby and just give the child a shirt saying i am a big brother/sister.
Just another rant of mine, and Tiffany agreed.
I am thinking of backing off on WoW for a bit. I have been getting to much into it and other things around the house have been suffering. Also the weather is getting nicer outside and frankly I would rather get out and get some sun. There have been other things that have been pushing me this way too. I think that it is what i need to do.
Will keep updating, later..
