I had an appointment today with my opthamologist. I had to take a vision field test which consisted of looking at this little light in a box and clicking a button when I saw other lights around it. She emphasized the importance of staying focused on that little light and not letting my eyes wander. Well, paranoid Kara was freaked out that she might have a serious vision problem so she did the most natural thing, of course…cheat on the test. I really tried hard to stay focused on the little light, but would occasionally sneak a glance at other areas of the box to “improve” my chances of passing the test. Well folks, my philosophy backfired. The doctor said the test report was rubbish and that I was only looking at the little light 25% of the time. OOOPPPPS! So I have to go back next week and do the same thing again. Moral of the story….Don’t cheat on your vision tests!
I had a great weekend. I spent some time with good friends and had a girls night out with my sisters. We went to San Chez and the food was delicious. We then watched old home videos and laughed a lot. We were making up mock elections for people. Mine was Most Awkward…I can’t help it if the video was filmed during the junior high years.:) I had feathered bangs, long hair, braces, and these big blue glasses with diamonds on the sides. (well, not really diamonds, i am not that posh). It was hot, I must say.
We celebrated Mike and Jon’s birthdays this weekend. (my brothers) The weather was gorgeous and the water on the lake had melted. We fed the geese and played outside with our nephews. My nephew RJ is six years old and wants to be a pediatrician when he gets older. He said he wanted to invent a cure for cancer. I was asking him how he was going to make it. “Well, you have to mix every color of the rainbow together and first it will be dark. But then it will become light and it will taste like everything you have ever tasted.” Precious.
I am enjoying these last few weeks with the people I love. It will be hard to say goodbye, especially to my little nephews.
