Third time’s the charm. This is the third cache I tried to take Krissy to find. The first two we couldn’t ever find for one reason or another. I was happy to finally find one with her and let her get the gist of what geocaching is all about. This was also our third try to find this particular cache. I guess we just weren’t thinking creatively enough the first two times.

This cache is in the parking lot of the San Marcos Home Depot, right next to where we were going for Family Home Evening. We went looking once at around 6:30pm, right before FHE. Afterwards we went back again and had to use a flashlight. The only clue we had was “Genesis 1:3” and the light pole was in a planter with groundcover and shrubery. I just assumed it would be in the bushes. It turns out it’s not in the bushes, but we figured it out and were on our way.

Krissy couldn’t remember the last time she had eaten at Long John Silvers so we ate there tonight. She just recently discovered that she likes fish, so she was pretty excited. I joked that this was our mini date night since I won’t be here on Friday to go out.

When our piano was tuned Krissy asked about what we could do to restore the finish and beautify it. Ever since then Krissy has wanted to fix it up. Tonight we finally bought the product and Krissy was so excited that, even though it was ten o’clock at night she started in on her project.

It didn’t take very long until we were seeing results. This stuff is amazing. Krissy was able to make the exposed portions of the piano look almost exactly like the unexposed portions under the lid.

Here is a side by side comparison of what part of the piano looked like. On the left, the upper two inches had already been done. On the right the whole side is finished. It’s not perfect, but for the price and the amount of effort involved the results speak for themselves.

Krissy is going to be attending a gala put on by the company she works for. She decided that she wanted to curl her hair, and so she bought herself a curling iron. I’d have to say that this is the strangest warning I’ve seen in a while. I mean, if I’m worried about getting burned, my eyes are not the first thing I’d be worried about. I’ve never burned my eye before… ever. Whenever I see warnings like this I always wonder how many people it takes that complain that this specific warning was never stated anywhere with the product before they cave and just tie on a tag or stick a little sticker on it like this.

Curling irons are hot. hot things can burn you. If something says it can burn you, then it can burn you anywhere it touches your body. This obviously includes the eyes, although if you have a curling iron in your eye, then burning is not your only concern.

I’m not even going to go into the details of just how rediculously unhelpful that drawing would be to anyone who couldn’t read the text under it. When I covered up the text and showed it to Krissy, she thought it was a warning to watch the iron while it was plugged in because it is hot.

Krissy finally got her new glasses after almost a month of waiting for the factory to get done making the lenses for them.  They are a new type of lens apparently based on technology developed for laser eye surgery.  There is a device that measures the irregularities of your retina and then lenses are made that correct for these unique differences.  The brand name is iZon and there are only a few optometrists around the country that are using this technology.

Of course, troche I know that what you really want to know is, “What does she look like in glasses?”  Well… something like this!

I like it.
