four eyes!!

so i know you were all dying to see me in my glasses . so here you are, the first official good pictures.

for all of you who don't really know what or why here's the story: ever since about 8th grade i've had headaches almost every day. went to doctors and such but none of them knew anything. so never did anything about it. however my first week home from school i had a physical, and mom suggested going to an optometrist to get my eyes checked to see if they were the problem.
turns out i'm slightly far-sighted (i didn't think there was anything wrong, i can see perfectly fine): when i focus on things far away and then focus on things up close my eyes go slightly in. the dr. said that causes some strain on my eyes and a probable source for the headaches. so we're doing a 2-3 week experiment, hoping the glasses help relieve some of the pressure. i'm mostly supposed to wear them for reading, tv, computer, basically when i'll be focusing on something up close for a while. i feel like they're doing something but i'm not entirely sure.
but now that none of you care to know this, please enjoy the photos.

laree. i worry about her...

so most of you have probably heard of facebook. so they have this new application thingy where you can send bumper stickers to your friends. the above picture is one that betsy sent me. and also one that you all should recognize from growing up in the lapierre household. duh, it's harry from harry and the hendersons!!!
but anyways, the other night i had my facebook page up on my laptop in the kitchen. laree was nearby so i told her to look. she was looking at it and after a minute or two i asked her "do you know who that is?!" and laree, bless her heart, said "whoopi goldberg?"
i think i started crying i was laughing so hard. and in her defense she tried to claim that she was 'too young to remember'. pshh, like that has ever been an excuse. she also claimed that her second guess was going to be oprah winfrey...
