AWOL

I've definitely been out of it lately. So many things going on and so little time. Here's a quick summary:

I got contacts (to be precise, a contact)! When my eye insurance plan kicked in in September, I hiked on over to my doctor to get it! I was so nervous at first, and I think it took me a half hour or so to finally get that stupid thing in, but I finally did it. Now I have no problem with it. I love being able to see without dealing with glasses! (For those who don't know, I have near perfect vision in my left eye. My right one, not so much.)

Job stuff is getting rather hectic. The work load has significantly increased, since the chairman of our department wants us to get many, many more samples. I try not to complain, though, since it's way better to be busy than bored. Oh, and on a happier note, I've worked at my current job for a whole year!

Lastly, family news. My parents came to town a few weekends ago for a visit. It was so wonderful to see them again. We spent Friday touring my office, which is quite a big place, going to the zoo, and spending some time at the Galleria. Saturday Hubby and I took them to see San Antonio. Mainly we toured the Riverwalk and saw the Alamo. Sunday we took them to church, then headed to Reliant Stadium to see the Texans play. They actually won. Can you believe it? Most importantly, I got to spend time with my parents. I miss them so much!

My brain is fried from work, so hopefully I'll be more lucid later. Hopefully I can get on the ball and start posting more!
