computer glasses are a wonder

i had ordered computer glasses

they came yesterday
COPPER frames

wow

i got them on now
what a HUGE difference

i got them from eyebuydirect

(go through the glassyeyes.blogspot.com website for a discount)

i liked them so much i ordered 2 pairs of regular bifocals from them
one pair with sunglass tint.....
less then 82.00 for the TOTAL order (that includes the 2 pairs and shipping)

these frames are NICE
they are sturdy but lightweight
and the best part is i have a large difference between my PD=pupillary distance, almost 1/4 inch ( which is most unusual......but what would you expect from me?)
and these folks used the split measurements instead of the combined
and it makes a HUGE difference, as with the combined PD i get a real problem with my right eye, and it feels like it's being pushed
now it feels wonderful so this is the way we go from now on

i think i am going to get one more tweek......
bifocals with my distance from regular and maybe this computer distance modification for the close up
but if these all work i am home free

i may try one more pair of progressives this time from eyebuydirect
the first pair was from goggles4U, and while the distance and intermediate are fine
i am thinking they didn't get the pd right
cause my right eye has 'issues'


last nights supper
boneless chicken breast with a 'creamy mushroom sauce' (at bernie's request, i used the dried mushrooms for it)
over rice with salad

not too bad

i had a huge salad for lunch
as this is the start of salad weather
and we LOVES US some salad weather

this weekend is sheep and wool
mdsw
i can't go
and this time it's breaking my heart
i haven't been to mdsw in a few years now......
however with colleen coming there is way too much to do around here so we can't go
but i do fully intend on endless mountains and rhinebeck
no discussion at all about it

COLLEEN PREPS:
i still need some stuff that was on my shopping list
tub mat
pillow cases
her gift basket

plus a lot of make ahead meals that she'll eat
she SAYS she'll eat anything
then we served her that mixed grill we do with sweet peppers, mushrooms, onions all marinated in red wine with chicken
she didn't like it
and a few other things we love she hated
so i know she'll eat spaghetti
grilled chicken without marinades over rice
salads
and i plan on the big summer supper salads i make

the day before she comes i will boil up a dozen eggs and peel and chop them
get shrimps
raviolis
shred carrots, cabbage, onions
and generally have a LOT of the components ready
i will make a few BIG jars of dressings
vinaigrette
caesar
blue cheese
and i will make up some croutons
garlic
sourdough

what do you guys think?

any suggestions?

i need to get cupcake papers as i want to make a few batches of iced cupcakes
bernie is bored of cakes
and i figured if i make up pretty cupcakes that will be a good fast snack/dessert

along with icecream of course
i want to make some since we unearthed the icecream freezer

cinnamon (it's out of this world, but kids hate it)
mint without chips
butter pecan praline
peach
COFFEE
coffee mocha swirl
blueberry cheesecake

hmmm is anyway hungry yet?
