question: how to watch 'movies' and shows?

I recently gave up our netflix subscription.(I was a little put off with their subscription increase).

When we want to watch recenly released movies we go to red box.... FOR A DOLLAR!

and because we go to bed so early, we DVR favorite TV shows to watch at a decent time

...but it still seems like we are missing out (probably due to the power of advertising).  Can someone help me?  are these my only options?  and what is this thing call infinity?

and who can explain 'the cloud' to me?

chocolate chip cookies as a FAIL

yum right?

So I had some people coming over and I thought:
"hey, Lauren just made some cookies that looked really good.. I don't like oreo's so I know that these are the cookies I should make because I won't like them so I won't be tempted to eat them.  She said they were so so good"
With such rave reviews... what did I have to lose.
She found the recipe here:  the picky palate
...basically it is an oreo cookie covered in a giant chocolate chip cookie:

and this is how they looked on Lauren's blog: 

and after I made mine.. here's how they looked:

they really flattened out and sometimes the cookie didn't really cover the oreo...
I will label this as   fail
they tasted ok, (oh come on did you REALLY think after 4 months of no cookies I could pass these up?)
But no, I don't think I will be making these again!
oh yeah, and I'll be taking them to work because fishermen will eat anything!

Tax day & Thank you

ahhhh, he's gonna eat our money!!!

Thank you for all your comments and thoughts and prayers, wow it's so cool to have such kind friends.  I'm ok, just going to have to live with optical migranes!  oh yeah, and learn to manage my stress better... hahahahhahahahaha

good luck with that one!

so THAT's the problem

I should have known that there was something going on other than my bad mood/impatience/whiny attitude.

This Tuesday AGAIN I saw and felt a weird sensation.. I saw what I describe as water color rainbow waves.(like oil and water mixed with a rainbow).

 It started last Tuesday at rehearsal. I saw these rainbow waves.  It made my vision so I couldn't even see the script.. but I kept breathing and trying to relax and it went away in about 10 minutes and I was fine.  I just though I had stood up too long, or was actually breathing correctly and had taken in too much oxygen. 

Then this Tuesday during lunch... it started again and I just didn't understand what was causing it...so of course I called the Dr.,------  DR LAUREN and she said to get an appointment asap.

I actually got one the same day..come to find out it is an optical migraine.    And the Dr. kept mentioning all these other bad words:  cataracts, detached retina, beta blockers, fishers, eyesight,

and all these really bad things can cause it, or be the reason behind it, or result from it.

wait how did that get here? now I'm hallucinating????

Today I am seeing a specialist and hopefully he can look deep into my eyes and tell me what the heck is going on!
